RovyVon E10 Pro - First Impressions

With permission, I’m sharing my RovyVon E10 Pro - First Impressions based on this very well done write up by Firelight2.

Rovyvon E10 Max - First Impressions

I’m even keeping the format the same and directly quoting Firelight2.

“Overall, I’m a bit disappointed. For the price, this light should have been better. In many ways, it’s quite a nice light, but there are some key things they got wrong which turn what should have been a slam-dunk into a miss.” Couldn’t have said it better myself.

What I like: (Repeated in part from Firelight2.)

  • Build Quality. Fit and finish are excellent. The light looks awesome.
  • Ergonomic Shape. However, note that it is not quite as flat as it looks. There is a hump under the clip that makes the light fatter. This hump contains the driver.
  • Able to use two AA-sized cells, including 14500 or 1.5v AA.
  • Side rubber grips are very comfortable and grippy.

What I don’t like: (Repeated in part from Firelight2.)

  • Rotating ring to change brightness of main LED requires quick swipes to adjust brightness. As far as I have discerned, adjustments are in steps, not smooth ramping.
  • This ring is too recessed and hard to push.
  • The small bumpers on the battery cover make both tail standing and magnetic holding unstable.
  • The latch on the battery cover is quite finicky. The cover twice opened, while fishing the light out of my pocket; due to me not toggling the latch successfully.

Use Potential:

  • Though I did think of returning the light, I decided to keep it (for its dual fuel capability) in the emergency bag in my car. I far prefer my NG KR1AA as a very capable EDC torch.

Just my tuppence; expressed with the help of and thanks to Firelight2.

As of this past weekend, I no longer have this light. But, I do have one last update on it. I fully charged the included batteries and kept it, unused, in my car. From April 1st to July 26th the batteries went from 100% to 72%.
