RovyVon A28U Gen 2 Pocket Torch,1000 Lumen with Sidelight Super Bright Handheld Touches, USB C Rechargeable EDC Flashlight Waterproof for Hiking,Outdoor,Emergency

I had watched lots of reviews of various flashlights (EDC stands for "every day carry" in case, like me, it takes you a few videos before someone says it long form) and this one seemed right for me.They do a smaller one that fits on a key ring but if it's dark and I'm out it's probably winter and I will have gloves on. The little ones look like you could drop them in a puddle pretty easily if your gloves are wet with rain and some are not as waterproof as this one. They do metal handled torches but these new led lamps get pretty hot very quickly so the polycarbonate handle of this design seemed practical. It is very tough and completely waterproof (ipx8 so up to 20m for 30 mins, I believe)The buttons are big enough to operate with gloves on yet the device is still very small. Very easy to put in a pocket or bag. It comes with an excellent clip that isn't as difficult or fiddly as some critics make out.I got the variant with three different lamps in the handle. They are all so bright on full power that I really can't see why anyone would need an extra white or an extra red one. The UV (or blacklight) mode is fascinating. So many ordinary looking objects glow unexpectedly. Try the bottom of a clipper lighter or the cables for an iPhone.The main beam is awesome. Truly astonishing from such a tiny unit. The whole torch is smaller than a battery from an older device. Remember C size batteries in a cheap tin handled torch? Faint flickering of the yellow bulb?Ah, the old days. Weren't they terrible?This feels like sci-fi in your hand.It does have a strobe function, I hope nobody needs that. The torch is bright enough that if such a tactic were ever going to work this one would do it but I wouldn't rely on dazzling someone for long enough you could escape or really carry out an effective counter attack.I bought it because occasionally there are gaps between street lights and I can't see what I'm stepping in so for me the instant-on momentary functions are perfect.It looks and feels great, I am very pleased with it and just hope the battery remains good for a decent number of years. The battery is not replaceable.Oh and yes, there are a lot of functions making for lots of button press combinations to remember despite the functions being divided over two buttons but quite honestly it isn't hard to remember the ones you actually use and if you fiddle with it you can work out how to do the ones you forget.Probably still a good idea to read the leaflet as there may be things you didn't realise it could do otherwise like the lock function.Oh yeah! The SOS function actually does spell out SOS rather than just flash like a distress beacon. I thought that was a pretty good design choice.Actually one more thing that I don't think it mentions in the sales blurb or the manual is that the edge of the circuit board inside the handle has glow in the dark edges! If you have been mucking about with the uv light in a dark room you will find it has charged the boards edge when you turn off the lamp. It doesn't last long but looks really cool. I don't think I have had anything that glows in the dark since the eighties 🤣

This is the Swiss Army knife of torches. I do security from construction sites to alarm break-ins which means I have to search a building for intruders etc and my job takes me to places in the middle of nowhere where there is no lighting at all and this torch is the best torch I’ve owned (and I’ve used many in the past) let me tell you the reasons I like this torch, it’s small so I can fit it in my pocket, the usb charging means as I travel around in the car I can plug it into the car usb and I have no worries about batteries dying when I’m in the middle of nowhere etc it’s water resistant so I have no worries about the elements outside. The clip makes this even more practical because you can clip it to belt etc and the clip is magnetic genius, it’s has a red flashing LED for if your in an emergency also a UV light and a regular white LED light but the main thing is its main beam with multiple options of lighting and strobe light to disorient intruders giving me them few vital seconds to get to safety. The main full power beam at 1000 lumens will light up any area with a good spread to and covers a really good distance ahead. To sum it up for its size it is awesome and so practical, the Swiss Army knife of torches and a life saver.

Perfect EDC light. Make sure you get the version you need. I.e do you need a red flashing light, white side light or uv.Uv and white side light (this version) is perfect for me.Great design. Great clip, great beam pattern and great battery life for such a tiny torch.Uv is amazing for checking cleanliness and bank notes.The smaller versions that rovyvon make (A5, A8 for example) are amazing for a keychain, this not so much, it’s small for such a feature packed light, but a little too big for a keychain light. But as a pocket sized torch that’s has great useful features and packs a punch for its size. This is my favourite torch.I’d love a mix between this and the s23. 4000 lumens with a clear body and the features that come with these smaller lights would be amazing.

I absolutely love this torch! it is well worth the money. its small, light, and VERY BRIGHT. the build quality is also great. and the uv light is quite useful for checking licences etc. the battery lasts a long time as well, I use the torch every day for a few minutes and it can go over a week before the battery runs out. the side led is good for looking at things that need accurate colour distinction like checking the back of the throat. i would definitely recommend this torch.

This is a good torch but it is rather complicated to use with all the functions and the instructions while written in good English are not easy to follow.

This is an excellent torch, the moonlight mode is easy to access as is the turbo mode and as for the in-between modes, it'll remember whichever setting you last used when you turn it off, which is better than on the A8 where you have to have it on for 3 minutes before it'll remember.It comes with instructions for three variations of the torch and I found it a little hard to tell which mine was as the model numbers on the instructions don't really seem to make sense with the model name on the box. There's a mistake re button 1 where it refers to accessing strobe mode and says "double click from strobe mode" when what it actually means is triple click to get to strobe mode.

I love torches. From a child I was always scared of the dark, and so loved torches. I have many, and also love the fact that torches have got smaller & brighter over the years. I love this wee torch, it's my second Rovyvon. The UV is amazing, it will light all your light colours and transform your room. But the 1000 lumens of white light will literally make it seem your main ceiling light is on! Love it. The fact that it's also rechargeable is a bonus. The build quality is good. You will not be disappointed.

A quality micro torch with a lot of functionality. Excellent.
