CYANSKYP25 V2.0 3600 Lumens Tactical Flashlight,USB-C Rechargeable LED Floodlight,IPX8 Waterproof,208 Meters Beam Distance (Black)

Bout this as an emergency flashlight for an upcoming road trip. Saw that the majority of the reviews were good and ignored my better judgment against paying so much for a flashlight this size. Lesson learned! The false advertising clips for how bright it is should have really clued me into it being too good to be true. I have another flashlight from a different maker that I know it's 3600 lumens yet it's still brighter than this scam light on the highest setting. And when I do put this one on its highest setting it will literally become too hot to hold within 5mins. Other than using it to start a campfire I don't see myself getting much use out of this on the road. I hope all the people who hyped this up because they got it for free got their money's worth!

Cyansky P25 v2 is the updated version of the original P25. I do not have the original one so I can’t make comparisons P25 v2 features the new updated Cree XHP70.3 LED bulb. From the official Cree website, XHP 70.3 is the third generation of the extreme high power LED bulb that delivers improved optical performance. The bulb has 2 main versions, High Density version that provides flood light pattern, and High Intensity version that provides more one directional output.P25V2 is currently one of the few high-power flashlights that uses XHP70.3 bulb. It is very bright on high power. I have no equipment to test the claimed lumen output. Quick google search shows the bulb can reach 4000-5000 lumens. Operation of P25V2 is simple with on and off tail switch and side power level switch. P25v2 can be turn on momentarily by half pressing on the tail switch and work as a tactical flashlight. But one problem I found is the light will turn on at the last light mode which can be a low beam. For tactical momentary power on, the flashlight should always be at the maximum output. When fully press on the tail switch the flashlight will turn on at the last light output level, but it will never turn on at the maximum level.Overall, flashlight is solid, a little bigger for EDC in your jean pocket. Price is on the higher end probably due to then higher price of the new LED bulb. I am a little disappointed with the momentary power on not always at maximum power. 4-star.

Review is for CYANSKY P25 V2.0 3600 Lumens Tactical Flashlight,USB-C Rechargeable LED FloodlightAs a Vine member, I have the ability to review these type of flashlights so that you don't have to buy it just to see if the Lumen claims are valid. 3600 Lumens. Wow. They aren't kidding around with this flashlight....DO NOT LET THE SMALL SIZE FOOL YOU...this thing is legit. The beam is white with an even pattern across the whole beam, so no "bright" spots. Non zoom. Compact design. Super light. SUPER BRIGHT! I don't know if its a full 3600 Lumens, since I do not have a meter to measure, BUT having said this...it is by FAR the brightest flashlight that I currently own on the "turbo" setting. When I ordered this, I was thinking....with these super bright flashlights now a days, you almost NEED a low lumen flashlight to use for everyday kind of stuff, but not this one. On the lowest setting it is still bright, but just perfect to use for times you don't need eyeball baking brightness. Love that. This flashlight gets pretty "toasty" when on Turbo mode, so keep that in mind. Wow, is it bright. Very well constructed with loads of accessories. Love the holder that you can use on your belt. Operation. There are two switches...you use the tail switch for momentary turn on...push and hold. To turn on and stay on, push all the way until it clicks, then with the other switch on the side, you can push to change selections. Me? I would rather have had the top button be able to use as a momentary on switch, then the tail switch for stay on, which would then put the top button into change brightness mode, but you can easily adjust to this, so its not a deal breaker by any means. No Zoom, but really even beam spread, very nice. This is super light as compared to every other flashlight I own, and it is the brightest. Wow. I am impressed with this one. Charging. Now this is interesting. It comes with USB-C charging cable, but....ok, where do you plug it into the flashlight to charge? YOU DON'T! The included batter is a CYANSKY branded 5000mAH 21700 3.6v 18Wh. WITH A USB CHARGING SLOT BUILT INTO IT! On the + end, you can see a charging light that will go green when fully charged. Just so happens my external charger can't take 21700 batteries, so not sure if I like this way to charge a battery, so know this going in. 18650 batteries are too short to use in this flashlight, and 26650s are too big....so if you want spare batteries, make sure you have a charger that can take the 21700 batteries. This flashlight is so bright and well made, I won't take off any stars for this. It is pricey, but you are getting a super high quality light, in an extremely small size. Wow, this thing is bright. It puts all my other flashlights to shame!
