Flashlight, NICRON N7 600 Lumens Tactical Flashlight, 90 Degree Ip65 Waterproof Led Mini Flashlight 4 Modes- Best High Lumens Are For Camping, Outdoor, Hiking （Not including Batteries）Gift

I own dozens of lights, I have owned dozens more and this Nicron N7 is a heck of a value. What’s more, it’s not particularly what I would call a “value light” either. It stands on its own as a quality light with great features that just happens to be a great value.My work requires the regular use of lights. In addition to that, I ride (motorcycle) and I am somewhat ‘outdoorsy’. I use lights ALL the time. There are MANY criteria to take into account when choosing the right light for the right job and, at the end of the day, priorities become a judgement call.There is NO perfect light so, in this case, maybe I value ruggedness over optimal usefulness. In that case, maybe I value portability over brightness.After years & years of using dozens & dozens of lights for numerous situations I have a starting point for light purchases. I want my lights to have a rechargeable power source that can be replaced with commonly available batteries. There are exceptions to every rule (my core lights for work are Milwaukee Red Lithium... judgement call on priorities) but I’m tired of going through tons of disposable batteries or being caught in a situation where I can’t use the light because I used up the battery & I have to charge it.The N7 meets that basic requirement. I have a rechargeable lithium 14500 battery in the light and a backup. In addition, in a pinch, I could use regular AA batteries which I commonly keep on me but, also, I could get anywhere. I can literally buy them at any gas station. That is the height of power source flexibility and the best of both worlds since the 14500 rechargeable lithium version gives outstanding performance due to output and the standard alkaline gives longer life with a lower output.The size is excellent. The brightness is excellent for the size. The battery longevity is very good considering the brightness and size. This light balances these three features exceptionally well.The build quality is very good. The light is quite sturdy. The magnetic base is strong enough and improves the usefulness of the light. The head, which turns to 90˚ and can be left anywhere in between does the same. The spring steel pocket clip enhances that usefulness even further.While I prefer a tail cap button I understand that the magnetic base makes this impossible and feel that is a fair trade. I like the button operation. It has a positive click & engagement even without perfect finger position & at imperfect angles. The 2 second hold for on & off decreases the likelihood of accidental engagement. Additionally, you can loosen the tail cap 1/4 turn or so to “lockout” the light so, if you’re carrying it in a full pocket, you don’t have to worry about accidental engagement.As if all that wasn’t good enough I have never seen a better button cycle operation. 2 seconds on, 2 seconds off, single click back & forth between high & low. It is straight forward & simple. It takes absolutely no deep thought & causes no confusion even if you haven’t picked up the light in 6 months. Strobe & SOS are a 4-5 second hold on the button. Light manufacturers could learn something here. Options are nice. Everybody loves options. WAY too many options & settings to cycle through creates confusion & wastes time when you don’t use the light EVERY single day. Well, even then it still wastes time & sometimes you need to see something RIGHT NOW. Another 3, 4 or 5 seconds cycling through options just shouldn’t be necessary.That’s a lot of features! What does all this mean? It means this is one of the best options I’ve ever seen for an EDC light. For daily work I have better options. Headlamps & lights with longer battery life & more secure mounting options. For trips & every day carry this light is perfect for me. It has the right balance of features to make it one of a few favorites for this purpose and this $17 light is among much more expensive company for that role. Just a heck of a value.

These flashlights are awesome, I think I have about six of them. I like them because of the size, the ability to rotate the head for different mounting angle options, the magnet at the bottom and the flexibility to use either off the counter, AA batteries or lithium ion batteries. I generally stay away from flashlights that use some specialized battery that, would be expensive and hard to find in a pinch.

It's small enough to fit in a pants pocket and would make a pretty good EDC light. I don't carry it simply because I like minimal things in my pockets. I like that it uses a single AA battery but can also use the 14500's for more lumens. I feel that it's plenty bright with the AA and they are available almost anywhere. I'm using rechargeable AA lithium ion in it right now. It remembers the light setting (high/low) so you don't have to toggle back and forth every time you turn it on. It also has a strobe and SOS function that can be activated by holding down the power button when turning on, but only if you want to use one of those functions. I haven't gone through a battery yet so I can't speak about how long it lasts, nor have I dropped it in water to test its water resistance. The magnet is decently strong and the swiveling head is very handy.

This is a great light with alot of features. I've used plenty of flashlights through the years and this one is impressive. I'm mostly a recreational user, hiking, camping, night trail running, night road running, etc. I'm always looking for a small lightweight functional light with good lumens. So far, this is my favorite. The 2 trail pics are with light on the hi setting with AA battery. I like the ability to clip the light in a pocket and rotate the head where I need it. Iv Don alot of trails at night and find a Headlamp attracts bugs right into my face and mouth. This light I can attach to a backpack shoulder strap, waist belt, whatever I need. With the current output, I don't plan on buying the rechargeable. I like the flexibility of have an extra AA or 2 and swapping when it goes out. So far I've used it about 2 hours and no changes in brightness.And the on/off feature requires a 2 second hold to turn the light on. Nice so you don't accidentally turn it on in your pocket or bag. Great little light for the money, very durable, and bright with 1 AA battery

I'm writing this review after owning this flashlight for a short time, but I have to say that I'm blown away with how capable and really cool this little flashlight. I have owned several different flashlights and none has been anywhere near as useful this flashlight. If you have any kind of steel you can position this little torch and shine a lot of light where you need it. Under the hood, or over the fender to aid a tire change are why I have 1 in my car. This thing is so useful I'd want one in my car, pocket, drawer and you name a place you could use a light like this. That's why I just bought four more. Which I don't normally do, but I'm really afraid that it'll disappear. You know how it goes a company makes a really cool product and people buy a lot, and then they discontinue it. It's like they say " oh they're buying and loving this flashlight we better discontinue it". That's how I imagine it anyway.If you get this flashlight you won't be disappointed by it's abilities (tons of lumens) or it's compact size (1 AA battery)(you can get literally anywhere)--oh yeah it can swivel it's beam like an owl's head and stick to any piece of steel.There is one caveat though! I don't mean to complain, but it should have a lanyard. There could have been a rind with eyelet so you could lanyard from the side and not interfere with the magnet. I put a lanyard to the pocket clip, but it's not ideal.Maybe when they discontinue this model they'll do that. Kidding better get before this little gem ain't no more!I'm gonna!
