Such a badass light. I’m an industrial radiographer so I’m climbing in and out of big metal vessels daily and this thing rocks. Not to mention everyone asks me where I got it. It’s a tough little light. Great illumination. Mag base is crucial. One thing is I wish it took usb type c.
I just got one of these for Christmas. I am a female photog and often I have to set up my cameras to catch morning light, so I start in the dark. I LOVE THIS FLASHLIGHT!!! For the FIRST time I had great light to work in, PLUS it sticks to my tripod so I dont have to hold it while working. Great gift!!!
This really is an impressive little torch. As an electrician I've had so many torches but this one is my favourite in the small, but incredibly powerful class of torch in my collection.
2 things that could be improved to beat the competition... 1. start using usb c 2. Use AA Battery style, they are more convenient and also it's possible to get just a bit more runtime out of it without loosing the very nice and compact design
Wrong get less light on as and not convenient lol I don’t carry as batteries rechargeable is better because don’t need to carry stupid batteries just for darn thing..
Such a great light. So much potential. So many uses. So many problems! First one died after a week. Second never worked to begin with. Third doesn’t hit even a midrange brightness and flickers unless you jiggle the micro USB port.
Got acres of woods behind the house this is a awesome light to carry in a pocket. Shines well into the night to see the dog 🐕 as he strolls his land😅. Works amazingly well as a light in the night walking to the mailbox its about 120 yds up a hill on dirt. Lot of critters come out at night. Love this slim powerful light.
I ride swing stage Scaffolding up and down high rise buildings, downtown Cincinnati. Sometimes we take off up the side of the building @5:00 am , still dark outside. Nebo has been my go to lights for over 4 years now. I have 2 of their headlamps, the Slim , the luxstreme that shines a half mile!! Their “touchy” and a few others. I’ve never had any trouble with any of these flashlights except charging the torchy and a headlamp that takes the magnetic charger….boo on those charges, they charge but not very well unless you have a flat surface to lay it on. I can’t have my light go out when I’m 20 stories up on the side of a building , Nebo has been “spot on” for me always. I can see me switching to another brand anytime soon. Good job Nebo!! Ditch the magnetic chargers!! Doug
Agreed on the magnetic chargers, they all suck. Just give me a freaking usb-c that's all I ask for. Even micro USB is a no go for me too. It's 2022 who in the hell is still using micro USB? I refuse to buy light if it is not using usb-c. That is the most no nonsense logical way to charge a light I'm shocked when brands want to do it their own fancy way
I wanted to like this light. However, the 2 brand new lights came with batteries that did not hold a charge. Also, there was moisture in one of the led part for some reason. Ordered from Amazon... maybe I'll try again one day but avoiding the brand for now 😔
I think I’ve had 3 or 4 of these and all have crapped out within weeks or days of first recharge. Inspector RCs last until you lose them… what gives Nebo??
Only had one Nebo, horrible experience. But my Thrunite broke after three years and I can’t get in contact with thrunite in anyway to have it rebuilt. So been carrying a crappy energizer pen light. I hope this experience is better. Though I might glue the slider on the 360 part as I’ve got a good feeling it’s going to open every time I take it out of my pocket. Hope this one isn’t crappy like the last one but after feeling the fragility of the slider I’m not too confident. Wish y’all would’ve just made it have a zoom function as for me i can’t think of a time I’ve needed 360° light output on an INSPECTION light. Though I hope I’m wrong and it’s dependable and capable.
Dude you need the coast a9r inspection light or the slightly larger inspection AA pen light coast g20. They are fantastic. Have only 1 single high mode and that's it. No cycling through all these other modes. The light output is also fantastic you should look into it and you'll see
Bruh you might want to re-think your user interface when you have to have a 7 minute long video explaining it all. Honestly majority of people just want low-high. Maybe a moonlight mode depending on style and size of light. Even a sizeable percentage of people just want high mode and just that! But low-high should be the only modes that's it!! ESPECIALLY on an inspection light it should just be one click for high and that is it!! Anyone who's a mechanic or similar I know for sure would agree that all we want is one high mode because the environment which we work in is best suited for a single click single high mode for quick inspection. No nonsense bs stobe low medium high sos red light blue light green light come onnnnnn mannn
Lumens hardly even accurately describes a lights output, id disregard it entirely. Candella is a better unit of measure when it comes to beam pattern and how far it goes. I'm not defending this light in any way just sharing information to you

Should use a type c charging cable

Can you recharge the rechargeable battery while it’s not on the light when using AA batteries?
While using the usb charger what charging brick would be recommended?
so every time you turn the light on, you have to wait 8 secs before turning it off? thats dumb
Stop with the bullshit charging port. USB-C everything. It’s 2022
Honestly for real!! Why on earth would they use micro USB I won't even look at something if it's not usb-c come on man
Ordered for automotive work
My new light flickers

Buy something else then. 🤡
Faulty lite , harbor freight much better and cheaper.
Very good review
Not really. Too far away throughout the review, and the actual light test was in a bad area.
Trash output, decent throw at turbo. But 500 lumens for that large of a light ain't it. Especially the 360 light. 200 lumens is nothing.
Lumens hardly even accurately describes a lights output, id disregard it entirely. Candella is a better unit of measure when it comes to beam pattern and how far it goes. I'm not defending this light in any way just sharing information to you
i wanted to buy but when i heard the "30 sec goes back to previous blabla" and this complications im out
