EdisonBrightNitecore EDC33 4000 Lumen LED USB-C Rechargeable Powerful Tactical Flashlight, Battery, Paracord Lanyard Charging Adapter

The media could not be loaded.  Sure there's $270 surefire's etc but for $70 this thing can't be beat. It does get super hot on anything above medium mode, for long light sessions I could see that being an issue. Definitely wouldn't use it as a duty light but for edc/minimal use it's perfect.Stupid lanyard design, cheap plastic clip and paracord (Definitely not 550), i replaced it with a rovyvon lanyard with glow in the dark beads because we all know your edc gear has to be looking good.

They don’t include the correct charging cable, so after the battery dies all you have is an overpriced paperweight. Buy from a different company if you want a flashlight you can use more than once.

The light is super bright. The battery lasts for ever. But the light gets extremely hot and will start to shut down. So any prolonged use becomes unmanageable unless you turn down the brightness. You can only use the high beam for like 15 or 20 seconds. It's gets hot enough around the outside that it will burn you or even melt plastic. Make sure to lock the light button if you are storing this light in a bag. It can and will light your bag on fire if it gets turned on inside your bag or pocket. Very tough light also. It's just way expensive.

Great flashlight. The only downfall is that you cannot change the battery. It does get hot and I have not yet test the longevity of the battery while in use. However, this thing is super bright.

How can a light be this compact and this bright. It will be a benefit next time I am out on the lake.

purchase two,sent one back,not working, gave second one as a gift, now won't charge. will not buy again

I know I only rated it 4 stars but despite not rating it 5 stars it is still my favorite flashlight but users need to know its limits. On the positive side, this flashlight is insanely bright for such a small size. I like the fact that I can immediately access the super bright wide mode from fully clicking the button and can access the very bright distance searchlight by half clicking the button. There are some caveats however. The flashlight will only run in the super bright modes for about 20 seconds then the head of the flashlight gets so hot that the internal temperature sensor turns the brightness down to a lower level until the flashlight cools down. These super bright modes are apparently designed for short term emergency use only. The second caveat is that the flashlight doesn't have a user replaceable battery. This particular seller provided an upgraded wattage power supply to charge the flashlight faster. Another caveat is that it takes some practice to use the single button control. One full press goes into super bright, super wide mode, a half press goes into super bright long distance searchlight mode. A quick full press goes into one of the three lower level modes where the flashlight stays on. Click the button again to toggle to different levels. When I first got the flashlight I could easily get into one of the two super bright modes but I had a hard time getting into the lower, always on modes. I occassionally still have problems but it seems to work better now. I know I am better practiced but the button also seems to need to be used a bit to work better.It also has some nice features such as a physical sliding lock off switch that can be set to a partial lock off. This is good for pocket carriers or for packing the light in a bag and avoiding accidental activation. It also has an aluminum rotating charging cover which I like. I have already had the rubber charging covers on two other flashlights I had that broke off in my pocket. This should last a lot longer but I don't know how waterproof it is. They say it keeps it pretty dry but I'm not going to dunk the flashlight in a puddle of water to test it.Bottom line for me is that although it is a bit big for my pocket I do carry this all day. I love this flashlight, even with it's caveats. Someday there will be one that doesn't get so hot and you can replace the battery but right now it seems that to do so you have to have a much bigger flashlight. For the super bright light I will live with the limitations. When a better flashlight comes out I plan to switch to it but this is the best flashlight for me for now.
