Review on Q5 LED Tactical Flashlight, Pocketman 6 Pack, 7W 300LM SK-68 Mini Light Black With 3 Modes by Gary Ferguson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

COOL LOOK, BUT NOT VERY BRIGHT

Torches arrived the other day along with my new 4 pack of 14500 batteries. The physical torches look really cool with the different colors as advertised, but the beams just don't cut it.for me. I tried all 5. Even with fully charged 14500's, just not very bright like my old little Cree's (same style) as you would expect from a 7w torch that can handle 3.7 volt battery. These "Pocketman" torches put out somewhat of a blue-ish beam vs. a nice bright white light. May be fine for home use, but I use my torches for bike riding when it's dark outside. Lastly, I have always noticed with torches that supposedly can put out 200+ lumens, a 3.7 volt battery will produce a brighter beam than a 1.5 volt (standard AA). Not the case with these lights. You get the same "not very bright" beam with either battery.

Pros
  • These are about as handy as anything can get!
Cons
  • The flashlight doesn't have a zoom feature
