First impressions:
Shipped from: NexTorch for review purpose
These two lanterns/flashlights are clearly products for specific areas and it’s clear… there isn’t the classic appearance of a flashlight used to light a specific area thanks to a hotspot, but these nextorch product are needed then you need to use a FLOOD light (UL360) or there’s the necessity to be visible at night by other people (Glo-Toob).
I had the possibility to review other products from Nextorch and till now i’ve understood that this company really takes commitment with the design of their products, and these 2 products are the perfect example of my thinking, simple products, nothing special but so simple and well constructed that’s hard to find similar products….

Construction quality:
—- UL360 —-
The flashlight body is made of plastic but the quality seems to be rather good, while the tailcap is made of the classic aluminum material, and of course the rotable mechanism as you can se is made of stainless steel plus a magnetic base.
Threads are of plastic material but it’s not a problem, moreover they came lubed up.
70 lumens at max output is not a great number but the actual power fits nicely on most situations and will let you satisfied almost 80% of times you use it.
—- Glo-Toob AAA —-
Also here the prevailing material used is plastic, but it’s really thick and durable (with a opaque finish) and on the upper part you can find the “most useful part” of the flashlight…… the lanyard hole!! 
Host’s threads are made of aluminum, but the full tailcap is of plastic material….so ironically it is the opposite event of the UL360
I tested it underwater but of course i can’t say if the 60 meter limit can be reached or even surpassed, after all if the O-ring is in good state, the waterproofness of the entire flashlight is safe.

Final thoughts and why you should buy them:
The UL360 is a great flashlight for all round uses and the AA battery standard allow nice runtimes (3h20min at max output 70lm) and i personally use it as a bed time light, magnetically adherent to a bar of steel that’s over my bed place, and speaking about the GLO-TOOB i sometimes loan it to a friend who does not have a tail light on his BIKE…. But it’s also sufficiently usable to read a book during the night (on your bed…) if your eyes are fully adapted to the darkness, being even a fleeble light “enought” to look at something without any eye strain!!
