Really like this flashlight. Two suggestions would make it the best.
1. Having to cycle through the high to low light is a bit old tech. Create a memory function to pick up where you left off; e.g. if last light level was medium when turning off. Have the light start at medium when turning it back on. The highest light level is a bit of a shock when turning on. I like, and want the highest light level, just not always when turning on. I have to place my hand over the lens sometimes and cycle to the desired level.
2. I really like the super wide field. The light focuses down to a smaller beam; but, would like an even tighter beam for illuminating items further away.
These items are not a big deal. It is a great flashlight. Low level is great. Super high is like a wide-angle car headlight. At close distance you do not need anything brighter. It works!
The flashlight is very well made. Heavy duty, great feel. You could club a bear with it if needed. Super bright shine and fast run is a better option. The lens is domed glass, not plastic. Very cool. The lens is well protected by the strike bezel. I believe the light could handle more than the one meter advertised drop.
I have not tried to charge other things. Probably works well. You will need to purchase a cable with correct ends or an adapter for the USB A plug (larger type, provided) to plug into the item you want to charge. The charge port on the flashlight is USB mini-A. This is the usual port size found on most items for charging. It would be nice to have the more modern USB-C so you do not accidentally jam the plug in the wrong way. But most of us have learned to be careful so it’s not a problem. Besides, everyone has a million USB mini-A’s. No worries on locating a charge cable! And Dorcy includes another one.
