To summarize quickly , its oversized , underpowered , and not nearly value for money , its just another junk LED flashlight in my humble opinion .
The only thing of interest is the LED bulb , you can put it in other flashlights , :duck: .

The only possible thing that could make this a worthwhile light is if it had really low current drain . Notice the claim on the packaging that its 10 times brighter , @ 20Lumens + , its ten times brighter than what ?

I measured the current drain @ 0.22A or 220mA , thats a lot of current for the lumen output , my best guess would be the LED needs more volts , and I will try it in a 3D flashlight , or fry trying it .
One to stay away from , unless you want the LED bulb .

An old incan bulb , nice an yellow , and 70Lumen .
Put in a very old LED bulb I got of ebay a long time ago , and double the output .

Its going in the trunk of my car , with a 2 year old or more LED bulb .
:poke: Dont hit this one ! is my recommendation .


I put the bulb in a 3D flashlight I have , and it draws about 0.13A , and puts out 40Lumen + , and it has the smallest hotspot @ 2 meters I have ever seen , possibly due to going so deep into the reflector .
