VASTFIRE Rechargeable Flashlights High Lumens 2024 Brightest Flashlight Spotlight Light Lanterns for Emergencies + Mini 365nm UV Flashlight for Resin Flash Light High Powered for Home Car Camping

DONT BUY!! I should’ve known based on the tattered generic box it came in, with a small card of instructions, but I was excited to get a powerful flashlight. It worked the first night. Plugged in to charge, and it won’t charge and hasn’t worked since. Went out and bought a new USB cord thinking that may solve the problem and it still won’t charge!UPDATE- 5/13/24! - 1 DAY after my scathing review the manufacturer offered me a full refund or a replacement. Cool…. I took a chance on the replacement and it’s GREAT after arriving 2 weeks later on a boat from 🇨🇳 China.. I have no idea what the product number is because it came in a tattered white box with no instructions just as the one before but this one works so far… Blinding light with zoom! Lightsaber mode! LED display for power percentage, and many modes of “light” including SOS. It’s heavy, metal, and large. It’s a weapon without the light. I’m very happy with the replacement and hope it’ll continue to work for the foreseeable future.

Small to tiny hand-held LED flashlights are all the rage right now. Unfortunately the batteries on those flashlights lose their charge really fast. It may be okay since they're all rechargeable, but I prefer the general utilitarian service life of old Ray-O-Vac zinc/carbon batteries in the flashlights of yesteryear.Modern lithium-ion reachargeable batteries inside LED flashlights are engineered to produce extremely bright light, but all that brightness comes at the cost of using up service life. It's a problem because the manufacturers forgot we need useful SERVICE LIFE from every flashlight/battery. So they make these tiny flashlights with brilliant light beams and negligible service life before you gotta recharge the thing.This product has two rechargeable lithium-ion cells. Lasts twice as long as the smallish single-cell version, which is still over 6 1/5 inches long. (This product is ~10.5 inches long)Thank you for reading my rant. If I may add, It seems flashlight makers are competing with each other on the basis of brightnes and features. Since brightness is controlled by whoever makes LED's, they have to compete on feature sets they can control, and in my opinion they've gone off the deep end. I don't need strobing. I don't need to morse code SOS. I don't need the complexity of using a single switch to sequence different 'modes'. Just give me a effing simple flashlight with usable brightness and a simple off/on function. Is that too much to ask?One more point: I've noticed that these flashlights 'get lost' on my desktop, in a cluttered drawer, in the trunk of my car or wherever I place them. Basically they disappear from sight almost as soon as I put them down. That's because they're all black, and black is perfect clutter camouflage. Simple fix is to gorilla glue a bright fluorescent orange strip of ribbon on each one and look for that when looking for - where did I leave that darned flashlight?Thank you for reading this.

I found this to be extremely bright but the adjustability of the spot focus was rather odd in that when focusing the full intensity upon the smallest area possible, the beam was divided into for square blocks of light--this inevitably is due to the source being in fact four square LEDs soldered very closely to one another on a single circular PCB.This perhaps isn't the best solution given that each LED chip requires ample contact with quality heatsink material sufficient to wick away the heat generated by each when powered on--heat that if not conducted directly off the individual LED chips would be detrimental to the LED longevity.I cannot speak to the longevity of the included LEDs because I unfortunately got 1 full charge out of the unit prior to it failing. I've tried other charging cables that I knew with certainty worked on other USB-C devices such as my cell phone and tablet. This did not solve the problem.I checked the charging port for any fuzz or debris which might be preventing complete insertion of the charging cable but this was also not a problem since the charging port has a rubber flap that fits into it and covers the charging port (USB-C) as well as the included USB-A port for charging other devices. I haven't used the USB-A port to power any other devices because I cannot get the flashlight to recharge so I can try to use it for that purpose!Tried lower amperage charger (500ma) and a midrange 1ma as well as the 2.5ma charger for my Samsung Galaxy S10. None of the different currents mattered...the flashlight simply WILL NOT RECHARGE.Sadly...I did NOT use the flashlight enough in the first 30 days of ownership to notice the inability to recharge it, so it is past the return window on Amazon. It worked fine the first time out of the box, then never after. Perhaps the seller will stand behind the product, but at this point, I must rate 1 star for the unsatisfactory lifespan.This was a VERY EXPENSIVE DISPOSABLE 🔦!!!

Okay, first thing first it came in a white box that said, “made in China”. Everyone knows the Chinese CCP puts out garbage but I’m willing to try. Amazon does need to inform on the site when something is “Chinese made” they don’t make quality stuff. Now, it does have a bright light and feels well made. No instructions inside white box. It says nothing about how to turn on the side lantern. Therefore honestly I hope it last since it’s made in China. To turn on the lantern you have to push the main button twice fast, then it shifts over. So far so good but I’m leaving off a star due to not knowing it was Chinese made. It’s needs to be stated on the first line of the sale. I do not support the CCP or Russia. Other than that it appears quality, time will tell. Update…. The flashlight it’s very, very good quality it’s been many month now. It’s super bright and super quality! It’s been dropped and is held up to everything!
