Euyee M4 Right Angle Flashlight 2300 Lumens Led Flashlight IP67 Water-Resident
Looking over the other reviews, it's like they're reviewing a different flashlight.I'm reviewing the Euyee M4 Right Angle Flashlight 2300 Lumens Led Flashlight IP67 Water-Resident.Mine doesn't have a pivoting head; it's a 90-degree (fixed right-angle) aluminum body flashlight that uses an 18650 battery. Those were my requirements, and this flashlight delivers for about 1/2 to 2/3 less than what NiteCore would have charged.It also comes with USB-C charging capability and a magnetic base.One of the more interesting features of this flashlight is that the head unscrews from the body (which, in turn, unscrews from the end cap). What this means is that the flashlight seems to have been designed for different battery configurations—depending on the length of tube used. As it is, it's 18650. But my guess is that Euyee might have other battery body options planned or available.The head also has a spring! So there are springs at both ends of the battery! Not sure what the design intent here was, but no amount of recoil is going to disengage the battery.I would describe the light as cool white, and the spread as wide without a pronounced hot spot.The overall quality seems as good as NiteCore. At the price I paid, the overall value trounces NiteCore.

Interesting twist on a flashlight
I am an avid hiker, camper, and wilderness backpacker/trekker. One of the single most important pieces of gear to bring along always is a flashlight. My favorite kind of lighting is the headlight. It allows for hands-free operation, a particularly important need while hiking or reading a map in the dark. My other kind of light I prefer is the tactical type. This Oudmon, however, is different: it can also be operated in an L-shaped configuration while attached to a belt or backpack.First, my FAVORITE brand had always been Petzl for headlights. Fenix for handheld, very bright lights. Then came along this particular light from oddly-named, Oudmon. What caught my eye is its L-shaped function.PROS- 2 flashlight modes: shine straight or at an angle (as much as 90 degrees)--- The L-shape lighting mode allows it to be attached to a belt or backpack (with its clip) like how you see the Astronauts wear them in the movies (sort of)- Built-in USB for charging without needing to bring a cable--- Rechargeable battery built in- Magnet at base to allow the light to stand on metal objects (ie. cars)- Unscrew the textured part above the magnetic base, and you can move the base into any direction (so the light can shine at wherever you need it to)--- Instructions didn't say this, but I found another use for this mode: it allows me to additional attach a piece of cord around the magnetic base to further secure the light to my backpack from moving around- Strong, aluminum body- Can be worn as a headlamp with included head band, though it is far more uncomfortable than wearing a traditional headlamp- 5 light modes: High, Low, Side bar (white), Side bar (red), and Side bar strobe (red)- MUCH cheaper than a Fenix light, though that company does not have a product of this type at the time of this writing- Charge has lasted for several months I have taken camping and backpacking, and I still did not have to charge it- Claims to be waterproof, but does not provide an IP rating. As such, I only have confidence in it withstanding light rain (as long as the USB port is protected tightly)CONS- Front light is only 200 lumen in brightness, and the side light is 150 lumen- Rechargeable battery cannot be replaced- One cannot turn off the flashlight by long-pressing the power button. Instead, you have to cycle through all 5 modes until it's off- When you turn the flashlight back on, it starts in High mode, though that's normal for many flashlights- Not IP65 or higher rating (which would guard against heavy rain or water submersion). As such, it may not be ideal in some tactical situations- A wrist loop is not providedOverall, I am sufficiently happy with this light, particularly the interesting, L-shape light function that proves to be particularly useful for attaching to the backpack. It is not very bright, its battery cannot be replaced, and one cannot immediately turn it off without having to cycle through all modes. Nonetheless, the utility of an L-shape and its low price makes it a decent purchase.

I don't like the way the modes work
This light is bright and well made, but... you cannot just turn it on and off and have it remember your last "mode" next time you turn it on. The light always turns on in bright torch mode, and you have to cycle through all the modes including the annoying strobe mode to turn if back off. That's right, you have to press the switch five times to turn it back off, and endure the strobe. If you miss "off" you have to press another 5 times. It is no good if you are going to be turning it on and off all the time which is how I use these small lights. If you don't mind having to press so many times to turn it off, the features are nice, especially the Red lamp.

Super cool little light
This is a great little rechargeable flashlight for the price. The battery life on the high setting is about 1.5 hours of full brightness, then the light dims to what you would see on the fully charged low brightness setting for hours 1.5 to 3. After 3 hours of continuous use on the high the light becomes quite dim. You can still use the light during this time but you will have to be withing a foot of what you are looking to illuminate. The battery lasted till hour 8 in this dim setting. So on high you can reasonably expect yo be about to use this light for 1.5 hours to its maximum ability and right around 3 hours without too much issue. All the light settings pretty much work like this. On low mode you get roughly double the use of what I listed above on the high setting. For the bar light the battery life is 1 hour of max brightness followed by hours 1-2 of low brightness and hours 2-3 or useable dimness. I really like the tail cap assembly with the magnetic swivel base. It is a super handy feature.

Nice Multi Use Flashlight
As a field inspector I needed a multi-use flashlight for use to inspect structural elements. I have used the standard LED flashlight that is difficult to use in dark places and taking notes and the LED work light that has no beam focus. This light with its multi uses from head lamp to flashlight is what I needed to free my hands to take notes or a beam to focus on dark areas. I like the fact that it has a magnetic base that I can stick onto a metallic object if I need my hands to be free. Another good point is I can plug it into my computer USB at work with any special cable.The clip readily clips onto the headlamp band that is provided. The clip engages the headlamp band easily and the band itself is adjustable.UpdatePurchased another light after I lost the first one at a site. Works well for site inspections and the price is very cheap.
