Bolder LC40

I have purchased, oh maybe a dozen of these Anker flashlights- Model LC40 ( only this model for review- they lump these together sometimes!). It is compact, very bright - even on medium bright- and the pocket clip is strong- I keep one hung on my shirt pocket(outside, it IS about 1" dia on bulb end, 3/4" dia the handle- too chubby to fit in my pocket with my other doodads for me). They are durable aluminum, having dropped on concrete floors dozens of times from my grip, not from ladder- perhaps a couple times) and still function great. This is not a focusing beam type, no moving parts. have oqned so many bc I have given some away to my family, glove compartments and a couple rooms in house- the strobe is quite strong- i think handy as part of the home self defense ( too short to be a weapon). These can sit in a drawer for weeks and weeks and still work great- i use mine lit for maybe 4-5 hrs a day (mostly on hi) and it rarely runs out of juice. The on/ off button will turn it off at current setting if you hold the button for 2 seconds, shorter than that just cycles to next function (hi, med,low, strobe , sos). Very pleased, and I have had one replaced with warranty that broke after two weeks (and one drop). Recommendation by a repair tech mechanic - me!

I ordered this after I was impressed with one of those generic 18650 based weapon lights as a backup to stick in my pack. I replaced it with this one and am now ordering the bigger model as well for this Anker's original intended role. Hopefully it's the same basic build scaled up. I am not a flashlight aficionado, so keep that in mind. There may be a much better deal out there, but I haven't found it. I just wanted light and convenience, this delivered. The mode button has been mentioned as a negative. There are two ways to use it: 1. From OFF, the first press yields the full 400 lumen output. Another tap for the dimmer output (still reasonably powerful) and two more for the fast/slow strobes. A final tap turns it off. Pressing it again begins the loop anew. 2. Holding the button in any mode turns the light off after a second or two. A tap will turn on the last setting used. For a weapon light this can be useful as with a single tap it's dispatching a rapid flash of 400 lumens. In a select few circumstances, this may prove useful for disorientation and -might- allow you to avoid using lethal force on an attacker. It's only useful in that role if your mount places the button within easy reach. The highest virtue I can think of in a cheap flashlight is doing everything pretty well. WWater resistance, battery life, size to output/runtime, aesthetics, blend of flood and spot, even coverage etc, remaining reliable under moderate abuse and lacking any severe compromises. If the mode button setup will irk you, look elsewhere. Otherwise this thing is dank! It's brighter than the "1200 lumen" weapon light (which is no slouch) despite purportedly containing the same LED. It looks nice, it feels nice. It's lightweight but does not feel cheap, its finish lending it the feel of a precision optic. Just the feel, no claims of equitable build quality here. The low weight is also a few grams less on the front of a shotgun or rifle. My cousin's surefire feels better, but not THAT much better, at something like 6x the cost. If surefire bought these from anker and rebranded them with a revised mode button and top shelf 18650 cell for triple the money, I suspect it would still be considered a good value. No one gave me anything for this review. I'm glad I tried this flashlight.

Good flashlight for cheap. It comes with rechargeable battery so not having to by 123 batteries saves a lot of money. It has decent battery life also and is very bright. It handles being dropped as I have dropped it several times. The light always stays on. One of mine the lense broke but stayed in tact it was just no longer clear and had visible bubbles but still works. I ordered a 2nd just because it is soo cheap. Stream light is the best brand out there in my opinions that is somewhat reasonably priced. This light is not as good as that but is much closer in quality than most. Anker is a very quality brand I have bought portable chargers from them as well. All of them have been high quality products for a very affordable price. I don’t hesitate to buy anker ever now and there reviews seem to match that. It’s one of those brands you see on Amazon that offer cheap China made prices but are extremely well designed and made and have excellent customer service. These are rare but this is one of them. Spigen cell phone cases and products is another. Rav power is pretty good also. Anker is the only one I have customer service experience with and it was with there wireless headphones. I was not satisfied with sound quality. I simply lest a review I did not attempt to return. They apologized and disagreed but sent me the next step up in Bluetooth headphones for free and said the bass would be better on that model as that was my main complaint in review. So they went pretty far to make sure I was happy considering I never directly contacted them. Another reason I like Amazon reviews keep sellers honest. ( to an extent)

Love these flashlights. I have had 3 of them over the years and keep buying replacements. They are bright, have a good battery life, and have multiple settings. My only complaint is that the power/ settings buttons wear out after a while (2-3 years of use).

Klein, hell, Akku hält sehr lange, perfekt die abendliche Hunderunde

Bright

Great quality, sharp LED torch. Beam is not adjustable, bilut the light is great. Nice and compact lightweight.

Buena calidad

I have received this flashlight just several days ago - but with my current usage this is already confirmed to be an excellent product! Have tried it during the night, max brightness is extremely good and max distance for light is same as it's mentioned on the production description. Flashlight came in a nice little box with small charging micro-USB cable. Flashlight was already charged. I did attach it to my micro-usb, charging indicator shows red colour. Once charge has finished, it turned into blue colour. Size is relatively small, holds very nicely in hand. Button (for mode operation) is pleasantly tight, so it shouldn't accidentally activate in your pocket. Word of caution - you have to go through all 5 modes of operation (pressing the button each time), though it's standard for the majority of flashlights. Bottom line - I highly enjoyed this product and would recommend it!
