Anker Rechargeable Bolder P2 LED Pen Flashlight, 120 Lumens, IPX5 Water-Resistant, 900mAh NiMH Battery ×2 Included, 2 Modes (High Beam, Low Beam)

This is a great light so far. I bought it on a lightning deal. It's exactly what I like in a flashlight: simple, durable, rain resistant, bright for home use, and inexpensive. It's not a tactical flashlight, which is fine for your average person that doesn't plan to survive the zombie apocalypse. It has no strobe or SOS function which is awesome. I hate having to cycle through six different functions. This has high, low, and off only. If you are going camping, bring a tactical light then. This a daily driver light for an average person that isn't going up against Has Gruber and his band of Merry Christmas thieves. It's body seems durable. Comes with the rechargeable batteries. It's low cost to buy and to operate because you do not need to buy batteries. Although you can if you want to. It's bright enough for a power outage in the house or walk through your average size suburban backyard without blinding your neighbors while they sleep. I'm fine with a flashlight this small in size not having a beam focus. I actually prefer not having them on pocket lights. The simpler the pocket light is, the more durable it is. It easily fits in regular pants pockets. Front jean pockets can be small though from manufacturer. I usually wear "Dickies" and have plenty of room where I forget I have it till I need a light. The clip it comes with works well in retaining it in my pocket.The only thing I'm concerned with is the long term durability. So far I have every reason to believe this will provide years of service. But, you never know for sure till time actually passes. So, if this breaks during/from normal use in short order I'll update this post.

So I have had 3 of these over the years, and I keep ordering a new one every time one breaks or is lost because it is hands down my favorite flashlight for working on cars. It is simple, rechargeable and ACTUALLY water resistant.I have dropped this thing on solid concrete more times than I can count, and my first one died after a year of reckless abuse. Second one I lost, and my current one is still going strong, and I drop it far less.The water resistance is no joke either, I have dropped it in buckets full of water, used it in the rain and snow, and not even so much as a single drop gets passed the rubber gaskets it uses to keep the charge port and battery housing safe.I found that on average I can go 3-5 days on one charge before this thing dies out. I work on cars for work, and constantly have this on and off for vehicle inspections, so for the battery to not die after a day or so really shows the quality of Anker’s batteries.Definitely pull the trigger on this bad boy, the cost is low, and the quality is absurd.

I am a server at a restaurant & was looking for a penlight to use at work where the lighting is very dim. I decided to try this one because I love the other Anker products I own. After using it for a little over a month, I can confidently say the Bolder P2 lives up to what I've come to expect from Anker!PROS:The design is sleek, the build quality feels solid in your hand, & the brightness is more than adequate for my application. I especially like that the beam is specific to your target as opposed to other penlights I've tried (e.g., Helius Beta VI), which produce a much broader beam.I have yet to feel any heat generated during use. However, it should be noted that I rarely have it on for extended periods of time, but other penlights I've used have gotten noticeably warm after just a few minutes of use.I can't attest to its longevity, but the rechargeable battery is super convenient & saves you the hassle—and money—of buying batteries.CONS:It is a little larger/bulkier than compared to other penlights I've used or seen and therefore more noticeable in your pocket. Besides leaving less room for the other things I carry (e.g., wine tool, lighter, keys, etc.), it also made it harder to reach for those items quickly.I wish there were a way to save or set a default beam mode instead of it just toggling between high & low each time you press the on button.

PROSThis is a nice looking pen flashlight by Anker. It has a nice build quality and finish to it. It has to modes, High which outputs 120 Lumens and Low which outputs 40 Lumens. The button feels well built and has a satisfying click to it. Comes with two Rechargeable batteries. Batteries are removable and takes two AAA batteries. Comes with a typical Anker micro usb cable that’s included with many other Anker flashlights.CONSIt Is not an adjustable focus beam design so only one beam focus at all times. The charge port has a sliding sleeve located on the outside and below the led (Picture 3) Normally the area where you adjust the focus of the beam.Neutral (things that I really don’t care for)It is not as light as the COAST HP3R pen flashlight. It is a bit heavier so it might make you shirt pocket sag a little more depending on your shirt material and condition. It is a bit thicker on the bottom than the HP3R and taller (Picture 6)The beam of the COAST HP3R is a lot brighter and wider only because it has 245 Lumen and adjustable focus left side of Picture 7. Picture 8 is with the HP3R fully zoomed in at 245 Lumen on the left side. The Anker Bolder Pen flashlight has a whitish light to it and the HP3R has a blueish somewhat purple color.OVERALLGood flashlight, lightweight, nicely built rechargeable. I give it 4 Stars only because it does not have adjustable focus.I’d recommend the Anker Bolder pen flashlight over the HP3R only because of the price. Which is the better flashlight? In my opinion the HP3R, 100 more Lumens, weighs less, and has adjustable zoom with LIFETIME WARRANTY.
