Could be better
Love the build quality. Don't expect the battery to last more than 20 minutes on high setting, which they already mention at 30 minutes so not a big deal. Good for quick inspections in dark areas.
-
Works good but waiting for version 2.0
This version does not support last used light-level memory setting so, I like it and use it but waiting for the next version to be a happy camper!
-
Not bad!
I’ve been looking for an EDC light. This has some heft to it and seems well made. It’s brighter than expected but I don’t have much use for the pointer. It’s more than I wanted to spend but I like it so far.
-
Super bright and handy
It is a great flashlight and works super nice, it does get warm when youre using the brightest setting but overall super nice. My one gripe is that the battery will last about 2 minutes 3 tops on the brightest setting. Laser is quite handy to point things out, I thought it was a gimmick but I find myself using it often now that I have it.
-
Better than expected
This is a very sold EDC torch. Not as slick ergonomically as the ArkFeld but much less expensive. Good all around features, fairly simple UI. The blue laser is very cool - though no sure what the utility of it will be as of yet. Seems very well built. Battery indicator seems to dial back pretty quickly on Turbo - but the light doesn’t seem to step down all that quickly Not blown away by the Gun metal grey- would have opted for black or blue Overall it’s growing on me.
-
Perfect size
This fits perfectly in your hand, the only drawback I find at all is no memory, it always starts in super bright mode. The laser works great and after more than a week of steady use it’s only down to 75% charge.
-
slim and powerful
very strong laser and light. wish you could set the beginning light setting to the one you want when you turn it on. always turns on at 1000 lm and you have to manually go to a lower setting. other than that its a great edc.

Decent EDC laser/light
I want an EDC carry laser/light that was small and would not roll away from me. I had been carrying it for about a month and found myself using it more than I thought I would. I bought a second for my range bag. PROs: + Good pocket clip + Good brightness for flashlight + Green laser is very clear CONs: - Warms up pretty quickly - No simple on/off; have to press and hold to cycle through power settings COMMENT: + This thing can get hot so I understand why there's no simple on/off button to avoid being accidentally switched on.
-
It’s not a bad light
I really wanted to like this light and it’s not bad. This light is bright, it’s well made. My problem with it, is that the whole body gets pretty hot to the touch when using it. Plus the battery dies pretty fast. It also takes the light awhile to cycle through all of the light levels. The laser works good. It is a nice little light otherwise. In my opinion the ade is worth the extra money.

Cons: Turn on delay, no memory mode, and no cover for the buttons from accidental pressing
It's a decent flashlight overall. The construction and quality of the materials are good. The capability and features are lacking. I wish there was "no delay" in turning on when pressing the flashlight button, as well as a memory mode. I also wish there was some kind of cover over the buttons from accidentally pressing them. I had to jerry-rig a way to cover the buttons from accidental presses. I used some hard thin plastic scrap I had lying around and cut a shape to cover the buttons, along with velcro fastener tape and strong glue. ----- With this model, you need to press the flashlight button twice and it turns on with maximum brightness--do this if you need maximum brightness, you cycle through the different modes by holding the flashlight button down to cycle each mode. Press the button once to turn the light off. To turn it on with its "lowest brightness setting", you hold the flashlight button down for a few seconds. Again, to turn the flashlight off, press the button once. It took some practice to remember that to turn off the flashlight, you just press the button once, quickly, and it'll turn off. Initially, I had the habit of holding the button down, which switched modes. ----- As for the laser, there are no modes, you just press the button once to turn it on and off. I had an instance where the laser button would accidentally turn on in my pocket due to the button making contact with other objects when moving around.

Super bright
I was shocked to see how bright the light gets and the laser is fun to play with my cats

SUPER bright!
Very sleek and will be easy to carry everyday. Holding the button down makes the light brighter which took me a minute to figure out.
-
Very bright and very long lasting battery life.
This flashlight is crazy bright and has a very long lasting battery. The laser has a nice throw and it's nice and bright as well. The battery indicator is very bright and easy to see. All of this in such a small package this light is as small as my pocket knife. I just use this light on a nighttime hog hunting trip. In the blind I could see just using the laser or the battery indicator light to see everything in the blind. So far this has been in a great flashlight perfect for an everyday carrie. It is small and lightweight you barely even notice it in your pocket or on your belt.
-
Nice Tactical light/pointer combo.
This is a cool little EDC light that can be used as a laser pointer or in an emergency a directional guide. Sleek design is easy to uses and looks neat.
-
Nicely bright, with two settings, and the laser pointer is a fun, if somewhat pointless, addition!
I was pleasantly surprised at the brightness of this light, though I am not 100% sure if it is actually 1000 lumens, as other lights that I have that are rated for 1000 lumens seem significantly brighter with a wider and longer throw. Flashlight snobs will scoff, but this works perfectly fine for limited/casual use, going out on walks and what-not. The battery life could be longer, but for an internal battery rechargeable pocket-size flashlight, it is perfectly adequate!
-
5.0 out of 5 stars Great EDC flashlight from a reputable company
The form factor is sleek and easily fits in a pocket without a lot of design drama going on. The laser I think is more of a tribute to their products than a key feature here. They make a lot of rifle scopes, lights, and lasers so I think it's more of a tribute/signature add. The light itself has switchable intensities so you can prolong the light if needed by going down some lumens as a compromise. It also has a clip like a pocket knife would if you prefer to carry it that way or perhaps store it on a loop as well.

The best flashlight
This little flash light is very small, but very powerful! It is super small and light weight, fits easily in my hand. It is rechargeable and has an excellent battery life. There are a few different brightness settings to choose from, as well as a blue light laser that is excellent and my cat loves it. I love love love this little flash light and I would recommend it.

Powerful Light, I wish the battery lasted longer
It is the perfect flashlight for everyday carry. It is compact, durable, and water-resistant, making it ideal for use in a variety of situations. The flashlight also features a powerful blue laser, which can be used for a variety of purposes, such as pointing out objects or marking targets. The flashlight’s only downside is that the battery life could be longer. However, overall, it is a great choice for anyone looking for a powerful and compact flashlight. WHAT I LIKE Compact and lightweight Very bright beam Powerful blue laser IPX 6 Rated WHAT I DON'T LIKE I only wish that the battery life was a bit longer.

A GOOD POCKET LIGHT
When all you need is simply some light in a dark area without having to carry a large flashlight, this one might serve you well. It's a rectangular shape so it fits well in most pockets and the power level is high enough to use in most circumstances. The controls are really very simple, you do not have to press buttons several times to find what you need, and the laser is a one-button choice that is nice to have on a job site when pointing out an area of concern. The claimed power of 1K lumens appears to be right. The battery so far seems to not hold a charge for as long as I would like, but charging is simple enough so it's not a big problem. I'm not sure, but the size and capacity of the battery might be limited by the shape of the flashlight. The light is of medium weight and size and it does get warm when in use but all lights of this type will, it's the nature of LED's. It also happens to be a nice attractive-looking flashlight that doesn't look like a flashlight when carried in a shirt or pants pocket.

Awesome EDC flashlight
This is a pretty impressive flashlight and laser combo for everyday carry. The construction quality is definitely apparent - it's a solid, sealed, metal case. It also has a quality pocket clip and a bezel around the lense. Upon unbixing I gave it a quick charge and tested all of the features. You quickly learn how to operate the flashlight with a double press of the flashlight button, and one tap to turn the light out. Three quick presses activate a strobe function. The laser is strong and bright (use caution) and it's obviously effective over short and long distances. With an easy USB-C charging port this really feels like something you could easily carry everyday. We messed around with for over an hour, using the flashlight and having fun with the laser for our puppy, and it still has a 50% charge (there are a series of charging light indicators that inform you of the level of charging). This tells me that it would more than suffice for occasional everyday use in parking lots, entering the house at night, or walking the dog at night. It has features that would be useful for self-defense, too, so that is a plus. I would highly recommend this device.

Fantastic Compact Rugged Light Cannon with Powerful Laser!
This is a fantastic EDC light. I have been carrying this for about 3 weeks and I am impressed. The battery life is very good considering its size and it charges quickly. I love that is has a USB C port. The light has been more than bright enough for everything I have needed it to do. I had never carried a laser before but surprisingly it has really come in handy on several occasions. It really feels nice in your hand. It does get quite warm on high power but this is to be expected considering its size and the fact that it is all metal. Other great features that have really appreciated include the magnetized base so you can attach the light to something to the side or above you for hand free operation. Also, kind of a little thing, but it sure is nice that it is not round. The flat shape can be put on a desk and not roll off. My son asked me to borrow it last week and it was difficult getting it back from him. I am planning to get him one for his upcoming birthday. The only negative I can think of is if the battery ever fails, I don’t think you can easily replace it. Overall, this light does everything I need it to do and more so easy 5 stars!

EDC Flashlight!
I absolutely love this flashlight. I had been wanting a flashlight that I could carry in my pocket with ease and not take up a bunch of room. I have always just had to use the small, cylindrical flashlight she get from the dollar store that aren’t very good. But this, flashlight has been a game changer. The first thing I love about it is that it has a belt clip, it doesn’t get lost in my pocket and is right there when I need it. The second thing I love is that it isn’t round. It is very similar in profile to a OTF pocket knife, so it fits in the pocket and doesn’t take up really any room. You can easily attach it in a day pack or or use it in your pocket. The flashlight is super bright and the laser is insanely bright as well. I can see it from a very long distance away. Overall, I’m super happy with this EDC flashlight. I use it every single day it seems and it continues to perform spectacularly. I love the fact that it is rechargeable through USB And I recommend it to really everyone to have a good every day carry flashlight with them.

A great EDC flashlight
ADE has a reputation for making great, reliable products and this little pocket flashlight is no exception. It is equipped with a pocket clip (sort of like a pocket knife) and so can be easily carried unobtrusively, especially considering its flat form factor, which I personally like. The light has five different brightness settings which are changed by means of a long press on the off/on button when the light is on. It retains its memory of the last light setting and is turned on with two short presses. Three presses gives you a strobe effect, and a single press turns the light off. The illumination pattern is basically a floodlight with a brighter hot spot at the center. At its highest setting, the unit does get quite warm and the battery is depleted much faster, but I believe it is putting out every bit of the 1000 lumens advertised, which is pretty remarkable for a package this small. 4 small blue LEDs show you the current charge remaining, and these are also used to show charging progress when the unit is charging via a covered USB-C charging port. I got the gunmetal finish unit with a blue laser pointer, and overall it's a very attractive package and intuitive to use, although I'm not sure how much use I'll get from the laser pointer. It even has a magnet on the butt end that allows you to stick this to a metal surface if you should need. I carry this every day and frankly I almost forget it's even there, given how compact and lightweight it is. If you need an EDC flashlight (and you probably do if you EDC other - ahem - self-defense equipment) then I can't recommend this piece of kit highly enough. It's well-built and seems durable and well worth the price.

Great Value
This is a great EDC light. Super bright, laser reaches far, and fast charging.
-
Slim
Very slim, and fits in a pocket. Love the green laser, and the flash light is bright enough. Highly recommended.
-
Works well
Overall I like this flashlight. My only complaint would be that I wanted a red laser but not a big deal
-
Nice light
I really like this light. To me it is a great Olight Arkfield alternative if you are looking. Available with green or blue laser, I have the blue one and range on the laser is pretty good.
-
Love it
I love this so far. Light is bright and laser works well. Battery life is where it lacks but with the lumens you get out of this it’s expected.
-
Great flashlight
Seems reliable, good laser, I love the magnet feature. I wish I could figure out how to have a lower lumen setting be the default rather then having it always turn on at 1000lm. It's crazy bright. I'll try to return in 6 months or so and say more
-
Muy buena calidad
Excelente producto,muchas gracias

Best Flashlight on the market
I carry one of these everyday for work and wouldn't know what to do without it. Turning the light on can be a learning curve but once you get the hang of it, it works great. I have 3 of them now and buy more whenever they go on sale. I've had the first one for about 2 years now and still lasts me weeks on a single charge.
-
Outstanding product for the price!!!
For the price of this flashlight, it's well worth it. You definitely don't get a super long period of high output light. Also the product being all metal framed, the heat generated from high output is a risk factor. But with 5 settings, it's pretty easy to manage. For everyday functions however, I have used this light more than most I have owned. 100% recommend this and I have to many already. Great product!!!!

Better than the OLight
Light is significantly brighter than the OLight arkfield’s and I prefer the separate light/laser buttons to the Olight’s button/switch for activation. I’m not a big fan of having to double click the light button to get it to turn on but I can get used to it. The arkfields switch started sticking on me after several months of use too so individual buttons should be less failure prone. Laser on both ark field and this one are definitely not on the brighter side, regardless of color choice but I’d recommend green for the most visible option. See below. I chose the blue laser because it’s different than the usual red or green-I’d advise against this though as the blue is extremely hard to see in any conditions other than darkness. Green is most visible but red has less drain on the battery than blue or green. Just fyi if you’re trying to decide on color.

Brighter than any flashlight I have owned and so small
The light fits in my wife's gun bag, purse, backpack, it is the size of a USB and the dang thing will light a football field at night How do I know, cause I did it. Got to talking and stayed to late. Off go the stadium lights and out came the Small little lite that should be enough for the stairs. Wow, talk about bright
