Torches LED Super Bright, 500000 Lumens Rechargeable LED Torch, USB Flashlight, XHP70.2, IP67 Waterproof, 5 Light Modes Zoomable, for Camping Hiking Emergency

Summary. For a budget-priced pocket torch, this is impressive. Description. Looks and feels good quality. Light enough and small enough to carry in a trouser or jacket pocket - weight 350g (just over 12 ounces), length 18cm (7”). . Uses a single CREE XHP70.2 chip – one of the best in its class. The torch doesn’t have a reflector; instead, it uses a fish-eye lens to focus the beam. The lens does rattle in its mount a bit, but it does the job perfectly well. A zoom feature (simply slide the head back or forward by up to 1.5cm) allows you to control the width of the beam; at full width, the beam has a nicely focused circular hotspot, with peripheral spillage providing useful all-round illumination. Narrowing the beam using the zoom function leads to considerable distortion, but I doubt that it’s a feature that many will need or use. Range, or throw is difficult to define - different people have different eyesight, different sensitivities and different requirements. With this torch, at full power, trees, animals, objects and people are clearly and brightly illuminated at 100 yards. IMHO, in terms of seeing what you’re searching for, 200 yards is about the functional limit – but people will be able to see your torch from much further away. Charging. Very easy: plug in the included UBS-C cable, or plug in any USB-C cable such as one that you use to charge an Android phone. Switch on-off etc: To switch on, press the on-off button for 2 seconds – the torch automatically opens at full power. To switch off, you can either hold the on-off button for 2 seconds and the torch switches off. Or, click through the various modes using single short presses - one press reduces to medium power, one more short press reduces to low power; one more to rapid (and very bright) strobe; one more to low-speed strobe; next press is off. Whichever way you close down, the torch will always switch on at max power. There is much to like about this small torch, but I do have one gripe. Shadowhawk, like many other Chinse torch suppliers, seem unable to resist telling absolute whoppers about the alleged lumen output and beam length of their torches. A quick glance at CREE’s web site will tell you that the maximum output of a XHP70.2 chip is 4,140 lumens – which will be considerably reduced by the absence of a reflector. So why claim 500,000 lumens, when that’s such obvious nonsense? All that does is make me (and presumably many other people) distrust every claim that Shadowhawk make. Do all Chinse manufacturers lie about their products? What about Chinese cars? Despite Shadowhawk’s dodgy technical data, this is still an impressive piece of kit. At the current ‘Limited Time Deal’ offer it's very good value, especially if you buy two and enjoy a 20% additional discount. Based on current price and actual performance, I'd rate this as a 5-star torch.

I bought this Shadowhawk torch thinking it would just brighten up the shed. Instead, I’ve somehow ended up with a handheld lighthouse. This thing is so bright I’m pretty sure I signalled aircraft by accident. One click and the entire garden lit up like I was filming a crime documentary. The beam reaches so far I started checking if I could see my future. It’s sturdy too — feels like it could survive being launched at a wall during a spider emergency. Battery life is great, the zoom feature is weirdly satisfying, and it makes every other torch I own look like a sad candle from a school nativity play. If you want a light that turns night into day and makes you feel unnecessarily powerful, this is the one.

Great torch...so bright and rechargeable

The Experience I’ll be honest, the "500,000 lumens" claim on the box made me laugh. For context, a car headlight is usually around 3,000. If this actually put out half a million lumens, I’d be able to see into the next county and probably melt the casing in my hand. That said, once you get past the obvious marketing exaggeration, it’s actually a very decent torch for the money. I used this for a late-night walk in the woods behind my house, and it certainly does the job. It feels heavy and solid, like a proper bit of kit rather than a plastic toy. The zoom function is useful; you can pull the head out to focus the light into a tight square beam that travels incredibly far, or push it back for a wide flood that lights up the whole path. It’s significantly brighter than any standard flashlight I’ve owned before, even if it doesn't quite meet the impossible numbers in the description. The build is rugged enough that I wasn't worried about dropping it on the trail. It’s got some weight to it, which I like, though it might be a bit bulky if you’re looking for something to keep in a pocket. Pros & Cons Pro: Serious Brightness. Marketing aside, it is impressively powerful. It turns a pitch-black garden into daylight easily. Pro: USB-C Charging. I love that I don't have to hunt for a specific cable. It charges off the same lead as my phone, and the little digital display shows exactly how much battery percentage is left. Pro: Solid Build. It’s made of aluminium and feels like it could take a real beating. It also has a "tactical" edge on the front, which seems sturdy enough. Con: The Lumen Claim. It’s clearly not 500,000 lumens. It’s more likely around 3,000 to 4,000. It’s plenty bright, but the fake numbers feel a bit dodgy. Con: Gets Toasty. If you leave it on the highest setting for more than ten minutes, the head of the torch gets quite warm. Not enough to burn you, but definitely noticeable. Final Verdict If you want a powerful, rechargeable torch for dog walking or keeping in the car for emergencies, this is a great buy. Just don't expect it to actually have the power of a lighthouse. It’s a solid, bright, and dependable tool as long as you ignore the over-the-top specs.

This torch is fantastic! It feels very well built out of metal, fits comfortably in my hand and feels durable and is a good weight. The brightness is astounding and the zoom design allows you to narrow the beam to light a specific area. I like that you can replace the battery either with another rechargeable one, or use the adapter and use ordinary batteries instead so is versatile and future proof. Overall, I feel it is excellent value for money.

I wrote a negative review about this torch, but I was wrong. It appeared not to work properly. But I later found a thin clear piece of plastic, on the battery sides. When removed, started working as it should be. Working well and shining brightly. Was difficult to see!

Broke after 2 x weeks and only used on a handful of occasions, LED bulb burnt the plastic lens and when I unscrewed the lens cap found that the internals had all separated from one another, really cheaply made, avoid at all costs and buy something else!

Super Hell und zuverlässig. Ich liebe sie

La deuxième en 3 ans, l’ancienne a commencé à buguer après un usage presque quotidien l’hiver + les intempéries. La batterie tient bien, éclaire vraiment très bien!

Grymt bra ljus i lampan

Producto nuevo, pero defectuoso esta es la 2da vez con esta marca. La 1ra vez se salía la cabeza de la linterna, la 2da vez el producto no enciende.
