Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

This flashlight mimics the military style flashlight but in a more compact size. The beam is decent, while not particularly bright, it can be seen in the dark. The bulb that comes with it *, but if you replace with an led it's a perfect light.

The torch works just like it should. They are more durable to drops. No loud battery rattle. Having a flashlight that can take batteries instead of recharging is important.



Cons

This thing is so dim, even with new batteries. The colour lenses it comes with are neat but you can't use it for much of anything other than cosplay. Get something else.

So, for the price, it's a bargain.

Packaging/appearance


Came packed in a military issue style cardboard box.


Perfect for filling out a ranger school packing list or other army packing lists, mine worked perfectly but i’ve seen others break easily

Competitiveness


It's labeled a mini but i would call it mid-size, compared to the larger original that i used in the military.


I had originally bought the bigger and heavier version from another vendor.
