Review: XTAR UL1 Multi-usage Mini USB Light

If you travel a lot, perfect night light paired with a suitable USB charger. If you live in an area that has power outages during storms…or California’s brown outs, perfect to go with USB back up battery pack.

as an owner of one of these:

WHAT HE SAID!

nice review JohnnyMac !

Thanks guys! You know, if you had one of those 4x18650 battery backup chargers this puppy would run for months. :D

If I get one it’ll be a hurricane emergency light for sure. Went a week or so without power a few years back.

i want one. thanks JM

must stop my hand to click pay on paypal button :~

Good luck finding it here!

True that. You will probably pay as much or more for shipping to buy from the States.

Thanks for the review.

I just had a look at our favourite auction website - there are a few sellers around the AUD$20-23, including postage.

I like the idea of using that USB to light up something in the dark. Sometimes I can’t see my keyboard even when my monitor is brightly lit.

Thanks for the review. Mine’s on the way… :bigsmile:

These guys are an official Xtar reseller and if they don’t stock them, get them in within 3 days. I dealt with them for a D06 warranty job. Good guys to deal with.

Thanks for the tip lionheart - prompt and clear response to my email enquiry and they added these items to their online store today. $7.20 postage but I ordered several as gifts so overall pricing worked out comparable to ebay seller.

Have placed order.

It's on its way to me!

No worries mate, I just emailed them myself about it as well as a new Xtar dive torch. What price did they do for you?
PM if you prefer.

Maybe a silly question (but someone has to ask em right?) but could you use something like this to make your iphone a portable torch using the UL1??

:smiley: is an interesting gadget. Great review JohnnyMac.

It probably doesn’t output enough.

Aw man, would have been so good.
That’s an old article, I wonder if anything has changed since…

Knowing Apple, probably worse. LOL. Is your iphone one without a flash that you can’t use a flashlight app for? Or just wanting a better light that works with your phone.
