Review on πŸ”¦ AlpsWolf Rechargeable Flashlight: Powerful 4000LM LED Spotlight with 15000mAh Battery, 20h Standby & USB Output – Waterproof Camping Accessory by Jacob Jefferson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Well designed and VERY bright

I did a lot of research looking for a bright rechargeable flashlight. The style of this model with its two edge lights is unique. Delivered quickly. GOOD: Well-designed dual lights are very useful - a powerful spotlight on one end and a red/blue strobe light on the other. It emits a very bright beam for several hundred meters, but the stated distance of 800m may be an exaggeration. USB charging is a very nice feature and that statement is true, allowing a standard USB cable to be used for charging. This was the main reason I chose this option over others. Many other ads say "USB charging," but the built-in charging port is NOT USB and still requires a proprietary adapter cable. Using the USB port as an additional power source can be a handy feature, but I have regular portable batteries that serve this purpose more efficiently. Decent value at this price. NOT very good: May be rain and splash resistant, but NOT waterproof. Doesn't seem really strong or durable. The light weight is a plus, but the plastic case doesn't feel strong enough to survive a serious bump or drop. It is definitely not suitable as a self-defense weapon. The seemingly cheap sheet metal handle reinforces the impression of low strength. At $30+, which is what many similar models sell for, this wouldn't be a steal unless it was really made differently, which I doubt. Useful functions and a fair price. I'm glad I have it, but time will tell how durable it is.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Compatibility
