Review on Tokeyla Thor Fire 18650 Flashlight Bundle – 4PCS 3.7V 5000mAh 18650 Rechargeable Batteries with 4 Slot USB Battery Charger | High 4000 Lumen Zoomable Camping and Hiking Flashlight (Black) by Josh Payton

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good deal for batteries and charger but the light leaves a lot to be desired.

Fast light output - 150-200 lumens at best - Won't survive immersion in water - 100 meters of usable light, 200 meters at best when trying to illuminate a reflective object. ) - If you need extra (button) batteries and a charger then this is a decent kit. Long version for those who want to read more. The light leaves a lot to be desired. In no way does it come close to the specified lumens. In fact, it's probably closer to 150-200. You can see the photo where I compare it to the beam which is ACTUALLY 190 lumens. The light is also strikingly blue, almost violet. I find that color distorts illuminated objects. The price is balanced by the charger and 4 batteries. This would be a very handy bedside lamp, especially with a low wattage LED that could potentially last for months on a single charge in this use case. Image 2 shows the building 175 yards away. As it looked to the naked eye. The second is the light at the highest setting, fully magnified. It hardly spatters the building with any kind of light pollution. In a completely dark environment, you can get a maximum distance of 200 meters. It also depends on the color of the object you want to light. White car, no problem. Blue or black car, you only see the reflectors. After all, you definitely get more for your money if you just want light. If you are looking for maximum brightness at a great price, check out my last 2 photos. This is a Thorefire with a c8 body and supposedly a CREE XM-L2 LED. That gives 700-900 lumens. This light still amazes me with its brightness, size and for what I paid back then a few years ago, $13. It provides at least 100 meters of powerful illumination. I don't really know how to end this. So if you have any questions about the flashlight just forward them to me and I will try to answer them or refer you to someone who can.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Long delivery time
