First impressions:
Shipped from: buyincoins http://www.buyincoins.com/item/41868.html
I purchased this flashlight for the low price and the nice look, at the moment it’s the only flashlight with handle which i hold in my little collection.
I have to say that i received a “similar aspect” flashlight like you can confront.
I made lots of research on the net (it needed a lot of time!), finding other shops that sell similar branded/unbranded with different names……

Modes and estimated lumens:
Switch type: ELECTRONIC
There are “ 3 ” modes in the following order:
Hi – low – strobo .
You need to press all modes to turn it off.
My estimated lumens are 150/200
>>LIGHT >>> The angle of refraction:
Weight and dimensions measurements (made myself, not by specs):
This flashlight weighs precisely 337 gr
Height 15,9 cm
Diameter 5 cm
Head diameter 6,6 cm
Construction quality:
In terms of appearance and general build, i can’t say anything bad, it does have an hole where to insert the li-ion charger plug, and does work.
One thing i found poorly designed is the battery holder. It is easy to insert them but….there is only a little gap near the “+” and it’s not easy for the fingernail to grab out the first battery. After the first one, the second battery is easy to push out…
As pictures demonstrate…there’s nothing else to say
Lanyard hole: NOT PRESENT
Threads came NOT GREASED, but this is not a big con, i used my grease.(mine isn’t an high quality one, but you can buy a top notch if you prefer)
Led Tint, reflector and lense:
The led is well centered and its tint is cold white
Reflector made of: SMOOTH – PLASTIC
Lense made of: PLASTIC
Outside beamshot at 25 meters, only at FULL power (same place for all my reviews)
Wall beamshot at 250 centimeters, from lower to higher power (same place for all my reviews)
Ceiling bounce test with LUXmeter:
PROS:
- cheap
- rather strong as thrower, long range comparable to courui D01(but not as wide)
- decent overall quality
- long runtime thanks to 2 batteries and low power
CONS:
- low light power
- too much narrow beam
- not comfortable to extract batteries from holder
Final thoughts and why you should buy it:
It isn’t a flashlight what you would love for most things, but if you are looking for a thrower with small hotpot…this is the flashlight!
Runtime is good but after all it’s a sufficient flashlight….nothing more.
