High quality flashlight for all occasions

31 August 2016

Bought this lantern as "light for all occasions". And I lead an active life, I go out with friends to nature, go hiking, and at work I often go on business trips related to the maintenance and repair of equipment of cellular communication stations. So for half a year of use I managed to test this universal tactical flashlight in almost all modes.

The flashlight is equipped with the latest ultra-bright second-generation Cree XM-L2 LED. It is thanks to its outstanding performance that a maximum brightness of 1000 lm is possible. It is hellishly bright and in the summer, in the dusty city air, a furious cold beam of light is clearly visible from the lantern. It hits very far, 150 meters, and maybe further. But this mode only works for 3 minutes, after which the overheating protection switches the LED to an average brightness, which is 210 lm. The difference is significant and such brightness is just what can be useful in real life. The next two modes can be called economical and ultra-economical (70 and 1 lm, respectively). The first of them is suitable for lighting at close range, and the second is not a light, but rather a nightlight. There is a very convenient feature for indicating the battery charge by illuminating the mode change button. Two warnings are implemented: slow blinking when the charge drops below 50% and fast blinking when the battery needs to be replaced. Excellent metal case with mineral glass and comfortable large rubberized buttons that can be easily pressed with gloves

The guaranteed nameplate resistance to drops from a height of 1.5 meters was accidentally proved by our own experience of a flashlight falling onto concrete from a height of 120-130 centimeters. As a result, the vaunted Premium Type III anodizing with anti-abrasive coating was knocked down to a shiny metal in two places and a slight deformation (dent) formed in the body made of aerospace aluminum alloy. You should not repeat my experience, performance is preserved, but the appearance can be ruined very quickly.
