FZHEDC Small Flashlight Powerful with 365nm UV Black Light (2PC) - Super Bright 900 LM USB C Rechargeable LED Mini Keychain Flash Light with COB Side Light, Magnet -11 Modes, IPX65 Pocket Torch

I have purchased a dozen of these lights over the last couple years. Most gifted to my brother and friends. Also to appliance/repair techs who worked at my home and did good work. I believe it is the ideal light to have in your pocket 24/7 because it is so compact and lightweight but with powerful light output. I don’t leave my chair without one in my pocket. I give them to women to carry in purse or pocket.If you own a 3/4 ton pick-up just to bring weekly groceries home, you might not like this light. It doesn’t compensate for anything. Many people will likely want a different light in their tool box to suit specific requirements for output, beam width, multi-hour battery duration.I have carried a pocket light 24/7 for decades doing field work in poorly lit areas of telecom COs, cell sites and shelters. I started with compact bike headlights. Those lights have narrower beams for deeper penetration to accommodate a rider going 15 to 20 miles per hour. Such a beam might also be good to spot a deer standing in the field behind your house. This FZH light has a more diffuse beam that lights a wider area and is more practical for someone walking or standing and not trying to penetrate into the darkness of the woods. The FZH lights are compact and do not have a lens that forms a narrow beam.A couple caveats:1. I mistakenly thought both of my first two lights were DOA. The included instructions were poor and minimal. They did not tell me that a double-click must be used to turn the lights on. I visited the product info again to learn that before i sought to the return the lights. It turns out the light functioned correctly.2. There is a lot of online dispute as to whether USB-C is identical to Apple USB-C. My lights will NOT take are charge from an Apple cable. It is a travesty against the ideal of a universal standard meant to benefit consumers. The cable ends are virtually identical. The FZH provided cable will plug into an Apple device. The Apple cable will plug into the FZH flashlight. I again mistakenly thought my new flashlights have failed prematurely. I even cracked open the case of one of my FZH lights to investigate the problem. Then i got suspicious able the cable. Both of the lights I was actively using charge just fine when I use the FZH provided cable. My wife tried to use the FZH cable with her iPhone in her car. That did not work. I am still delighted with the battery duration on these lights. I use two in rotation so I can swap without interruption. I use each for several days before needing to charge. I hold a light in my teeth while at band saw, drill press, miter saw etc. I cannot read fine text without added light.3. On one of my lights the headlight switch (but not the ambient light switch) has failed. It is the only actual failure I am aware of among the many lights I have bought. Oh, I also knocked the magnet off of one once too. They lights take a beating in my pockets. In there with a knife, keys, sockets, screws, bolts, tools and parts. Me crawling on belly or holding wood against my thigh while nailing. Had a light in my pocket when i set my pants on fire while angle grinding.4. Adding caveat 4. The metal ferrules at the flashlight end are not glued on. They can work loose. One came loose in my pocket and the pocket had a hole in it. I collected the parts and reassembled but I was missing something. Two days later my dog (a retriever) brought me a tiny metal ring. It took me a day to ywo before I realized what the ring was from. It was the missing piece needed to reassemble the light to keep its water resistance! If one of your ferrules fall off, you need to look for 4 part. The ferrule, or cap, is what you see on the outside of the light. It has a very fine inside thread that screws onto the light’s plastic case. There is also a solid clear plastic roughly cone shaped piece that is the lightguide. There is a tiny clear rubbery gasket (washer) that fits into the front of the ferrule. The flat face of the lightguide sits on this gasket. Finally the is the metal ring that goes onto the metal case and encircles the LED. This ring is tapered inside to fit the cone shaped portion of the light guide. To avoid having a ferrule thread off, I suggest putting a drop of CA glue on the threads. I haven’t done that myself; instead every time I catch myself fingering the light in my pocket I take index finger and thumb and apply a tightening torque to each ferrule.Glow in the dark sounds like a gimmick, but it has been useful to me on several occasions while working in darkness or visiting in strange guest rooms. The glow is robust (after using the ambient white light) and last a long while. I intended to time it but never stayed up long enough. Imagine shutting down in your camping tent and then realizing you should pee once more before sleeping. I can find the glowing light without needing to find glasses first. Edit: The glow is a beautiful green color. I often turn on the ambient white light for a few seconds and let the light glow as i fall asleep. Since original review I did a test. I ran ambient light (the COB white LED on top face of flashlight) for thirty seconds. The glow was still visible more than 90 minutes later. Of course that is with my eyes adjusted to the near pitch darkness.I am as cheap as anyone you know. Buying the two pack is a great deal. Each light is nicely boxed with USB cable, key ring, and “instructions”.I recommend these lights highly for everyday carry! Yes, depending on the type of work you do you might also need a headlamp or whatever. I go nowhere without this light in my pocket!

Overall the idea is great, functional EDC flashlight, USB-C rechargeable, multi-light mode with a hold to burst. Unfortunately you get what you pay for here. One of the lenses fell off within a week and the dust cover for the USB-C charging port came off the first time I opened it to charge the flashlight.UPDATE:Shortly after posting this review company reached out and offered a full refund. I didn’t take it. But it’s cool to see a company standing behind their product. Increased from three to four stars for that alone.

A/A

These are cool but don't hold a charge for very long.

Very small light. With a ton of lighting settings. Very bright, went out for a night walk and had the light on high for 30 mins with no problem or heating up in my hand. The only thing i didnt like was the blue/red flashing feature as i dont want someone thinking im playing a cop. Also the double click lock out is good for stopping accidentally turning on
