@wearandtear6692 4 года назад

All of them are simple and capable lights superior to what would have been available on the market 10-15 years ago. Enough bang for the buck and no obvious rip-offs. It is good to see that reasonably good equipment is becoming more common as this means that more people are better prepared for many types of emergency situations.

@lorenfok1097 4 года назад

Agreed. I like to keep a flashlight handy in all areas. Can never have too many. Bedroom, garage, car, shed, work etc.

@lonniebolick2610 2 года назад

This was one of the best reviews I have seen. You gave tons of information that is was useful and not just trivial stuff that most do. Plus, as an Amazon shopper, I liked that you gave hands on meaning to the "star" reviews that get confusing as you go from item to item. Thanks.

@chrisnotap 4 года назад

This might be a silly question, but on the last flashlight, how is it able to work on a 1.5v AA battery or a 14500 3.7V Battery? Is there a wide operating voltage that they will take?

@Martian74 4 года назад

Maybe it has a regulator.

@johnhickman8391 3 года назад

LEDs are capable of taking way higher voltage. The higher the brighter.

@nyk3334 3 года назад

Not a silly question mate.

@jamesfair9751 3 года назад

LEDs are capable of taking a wide range of voltage. Most of your high quality CREE leds and luminous LEDs can run up to 8 volts. Don’t do this with those cheap little $2-$5 lights you’ll blow the led out quick. Also if you notice on the one that uses 3 aaa or 26650/18650 the 3 aaa are run in series which would give you 4.5 volts, so those are perfect to 4.2 volt lithium cells.

@gblargg 3 года назад

Actually the LEDs require a pretty specific voltage, in the 3V range. These lights have a buck converter which can step up the 1.5V battery and regulate the 3.7V lithium ion battery voltages. These are quite efficient converters.

@kaybee4426 4 года назад

Great video. Very detailed and I love the real measurement test you did. Gave details of each flashlight and tested each one indoors and outdoors.

@00SNIVY00 4 года назад

I have the Bolder 90 2-Cell version and I love it so much. It has excellent power. and about double the battery life of the single cell version. It's slightly different; the batteries aren't removable, but the charging port is on the bottom of the flashlight alongside the button, which clicks once to cycle through the modes, rather than on and off and on and off. You have to hold it to turn it off and save the last state.

@maddogtroy28 4 года назад

Just wanna say thanks for these I've bought way more expensive lights with results not always this good . It means a lot to get to see some of these amazon products before buying.

@RGV250FORSALE 3 года назад

Thanks for the reviews sir - we live in the UK and just bought the Anker Bolder from Amazon this evening. We've got a horse to bring in from a huge field in the pitch black of winter - and this light looks like it'll help us find the little bugger when he's hiding in a corner of the field - lol. Thanks again :)

@tomchang1647 4 года назад

Great, very informative reviews!! Three members of my family deer hunt so we need a good source for searching downed deer in the dark. I personally like Coleman flashlights. They are a little bit more expensive ($18-$24 / 350-400 lumens) but provide one thing I want for use in the field, a SIMPLE switch with ONLY on and off! If I were an emergency responder or hiked the Rockies on a regular basis I might want the flashing feature and 48 intensity modes but I hate clicking the switch 5x to turn off the light.

I picked up a handful of the J5 Tactical lights for $5 each from a Woot sale. They're solid lights, especially at that price point. Just wanted something reliable to toss in drawers and glove boxes. Wouldn't pay more than $15 for sure. But if you can get them on sale I highly recommend that light.

I've bought multiple Anker Bolder flashlights over the past few years. Not the big zoomable one but the smaller 400 lumen one. I carry one every day AND have one attached to a 12 gauge shotgun. Have put many rounds through it and the recoil/shock hasn't damaged the light at all. Not the most intuitive controls but very well built especially for the price. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for a lightweight, rechargable relatively-high lumen flashlight

Matt, I absolutely LOVE your channel. You are so funny and entertaining! I am a hopeless flashlight junkie like you and at the present moment I own about 50 various LED flashlights. Some small, some coke can style, some large. Throwers, flooders, the works. 18650 LED lights are my flashlight of choice due to their power. Now get this: I recently ordered an Imalant M16 for $60.00 bucks from this company online with a big fancy website. They sent me information that they have received my order, a tracking # the works. It’s being shipped from Australia so I have no idea how long it’s going to take to get to NJ! We shall see! A $650.00 100K lumen light for $60.00 bucks. I took a flyer...I could not resist. If they don’t come thru with the product then I contest the charge on my card. Keep up the great reviews! I love the idea of reviewing all the LED lights on Amazon. There are so many fugazi brands to choose from.

@HardwareG33k 4 года назад

As always, if it's too good to be true... I admire your optimism though :)

@metaljew4456 4 года назад

@Castle Bravo: You are correct. It was a total scam. They sent me a two 18650 cell LED flashlight that is about 1000 lumens. It’s actually a nice thrower. Is it a $60.00 LED flashlight? Probably. BUT its not what I ordered.

I was #500 for the 'thumbs up' plus you got a new sub here. Also, I've owned the J5 Tactile V1 Pro for 3 years and it's been through hell- dropped numerous times from ladders, dropped while running and used regularly for EDC purposes. The anodized finish is worn and beat up looking but the light still works as good as new!

I have the nicron n7 and carry it with me daily. It's incredibly bright and versatile for its size. I've been thoroughly impressed with it for the past 3 months I've had it. I mainly got it for work. I work at a hose supplier and some of the machines can be kinda dark to use. I also use a nickel metal hydride battery as its power. Highly recommend it! It also has sos mode and a strobe but not in the main switch use which I love. Most flashlights incorporate that feature towards the end at which point you have to cycle through it to turn it off. With this light you just hold down the power button a few seconds to enter that mode. Normal modes are high and low then off

I like your ranking of these lights, especially the N7. I've been telling folks how great it is & the "gear light", I actually got a few of these for friends when I lived @ the Grand Canyon where it needed because there isn't much lighting @ all. Gearlight throws a flood lighting which is perfect for seeing what's around, mainly wildlife,so it's a great tool to have. It is bigger then I would like but I cannot misplace that thing, & all mine came with a 26650 battery & a sleeve for it & the other battery(maybe that's why you gave it a bad ranking?). No wasted words straight to the point, outstanding video presentation 👏. I will subscribe & like. 1. N7 2. J5 3. Gear Light 4. ByBlight 5. Anker Boulder 6. The BS military light - Outlite

It looks pretty good. Great summary reviews, Matt.

I have to say this flashlight isn't that bad and it helped me to survive the daily 3 months road trip to my workplace without my car. The only thing that I don't like, is that it can unscrew it's head really easily and it's hard to tighten it completely :P Overall, I would give it a 7/10 points

I have a ThruNite TC15. It's as small as the ones you tested and is really bright. It has 3 basic light levels, plus a very dim "candlelight" mode and a super-bright mode. It's rechargeable through a USB port built into it or the 18650 battery can be removed for external charging. It is not zoomable. UI after turning on is to hold the power button for the 3 standard modes.

@ncdave4life 4 года назад

My EDC is a tiny ThruNite Ti (60 lm) which I've kept on my keychain for years. It use one AAA (alkaline or NiMH). (Really AAA, not AA.) Since it is tiny enough to fit nicely on my key-ring, I always have it with me. It has only two settings: bright and dim. None of that blinky nonsense. I love it. The twist-switch mechanism seems to be reliable year after year, unlike click-switches. The tail-click lights I've had have all become flakey after a while. One idiosyncrasy of the ThruNite Ti is that it would only do dim mode with an Eneloop battery. I wrote to ThruNite and they told me it's because the Enelook AAA is very slightly shorter than Alkaline AAAs. So I dropped a tiny aluminum washer into the tube beneath the battery, and that solved the problem.

I've read a lot about that Bolder. I use the Anker Bolder LC30 as my pocket carry. Quite sufficient for my line of work (I.T.). It's always there when I need a basic light, and if more is needed, I break out the bigger boys. They all have merit for the price. The J5 looks like the old UltraFire, which, for the price, is a useful light. And indeed, the Outlite has many faces! I have one of the "versions", and it also is a decent light. My daughter bought it for me; she thought it really was what is was advertised as! But a plastic case, 18650 battery, and a charger - I keep it on a table in the LR, so it gets used a lot.

@CasualInventor 4 года назад

Hi Matt. Happy to say I bought an N7 on your recommendation and I'm very pleased with it. I'd say the build quality was on a par with a Convoy of the same price - e.g. pretty good. Mine came with a spare o-ring even! One thing that I noticed was a pretty harsh PWM effect on LOW mode. HIGH mode appears to have no PWM visible. I can't say this bothers me in the least, but I know some people really can't stand it. Bought a "Li-SOCL2" primary cell (first time I've ever used them) and they work a treat in this light. I've tried a side-by-side comparison with a gold-top AA and I can't tell the difference in performance, they seem equally bright, which is a bonus if all you can get is alkalines. Very nice light though, thanks for the recommendation. :)

Good up front info, but I think we're all hungry for the brightest light comparison, they go up to 100,000 lumens & these are 300-1200...

Real lumens vs BS is a thing. 100k lumens? Which one is your favorite?

I've watched all your bought "all the lights at this store" videos. Excellent info that saved me some money cause I am a flashlight layman. Hoping for all the lights at harbor freight video.? Also maybe top picks type video broken down by type: spot/flood/zoomie and price point? Great work thanks for all!
