Review on Scotte Windproof Lighter Electric Flashlight by Kurt Virden

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great product but needs a little tweaking.

Great product. However, I have a problem with it: it always turns itself on in its pocket and drains the battery for nothing. This is a significant design flaw, especially since it stays on until the battery dies. I don't think it's programmed to turn off automatically after a while. In my opinion this very lighter + flashlight would be the IDEAL product. . but with the following improvements: - another power button (one that can't be accidentally pressed in a pants pocket) - another program: switching from full power at 50% to a flash isn't as it is very convenient; A power button + button to change modes would probably be the best option - I don't know how waterproof it actually is; If it was IP68 rated it would be perfect - will it float? That would be great too. If it were a bit smaller that would be a big plus (so it's too big to bother in your pocket) and last item on my Christmas wish list: If it had a red light option (either with a second LED, or with a filter) , that would be the icing on the cake - I also hope that the locking mechanism is reliable, because I've had problems with similar systems with similar metal springs: they tend to break after a while, rendering the lighter unusable. Can't fault this one I've only been using for a week. but I believe that another type of open/close mechanism would be more reliable in the long run. Because if I buy such a cordless tool, it should ensure that it remains reliable for a long time. These ideas are just a list of suggestions from a satisfied buyer who just thinks it's ALMOST perfect, but is a little disappointed the designers didn't. Don't go the extra mile. The button needs urgent work: this is a bug and that's why I'm only rating the item 3 stars out of 5. Please let us know if you decide to make one or more of the changes suggested above! > jp_genieys@yahoo.fr Thank you in advance.

Pros
  • FUNCTION OF THE LIGHTER: The lighter can quickly light a pipe, cigar, candlestick and do all the jobs that a lighter should do. Can be quickly charged in two hours and used 150-300 times after fully charged. Can turn off automatically after fully charged. No flame and windproof during use. If you press the switch for more than about 7 seconds, it will activate the automatic protection mode, which will turn off automatically, making it safer for you.
Cons
  • High price
