World’s Brightest LED Flashlight

Right now some of you are thinking, here we go again another world's brightest flashlight, or world's best flashlight. Those words we get kicked around a lot on the internet. We hear that all the time, but I assure you the O light x7 Marauder is something very different.

 Let's just classify world's brightest flashlight for a minute. I'm not in any way boasting, but these hands handle a lot of flashlights, but of all of those flashlights they have never held a smaller more compact powerhouse than the light x7.

 This tiny powerhouse delivers its factory rated 9000 out the front lumens. You might say that I've seen plenty of flashlights that say they have a higher output than that, but if you've seen my video internet lumens versus actual lumens you know that's all they're doing is saying that. There are manufacturers building legitimate lights that output more than 9,000 lumens, but could you do this with one of those lights? How about this? Or even this?

 Okay maybe not that all i'm saying is none of those lights have the portability at 9,000 lumens that the Olight x7 Marauder has. So how about the user interface once again we've got the Olight one click on 1-click off UI, however this time we have a total of seven modes from the on position. We can press and hold the switch while  cycle are low medium high low medium high and when you find the one you want you let off.

 We also have a turbo and a Turbo S mode which can be accessed with a double click and then a double click again that gives you your maximum output of 9,000 lumens. The light does have a mode memory but turbo and Turbo S are not memorized to access the firefly mode, you simply press and hold to access the strobe you can do three fast clicks for me position light also has a lockout if you press and hold the firefly comes on continue to press and hold for just a few seconds that will walk out the switch function to gain access again you just press and hold wait a few seconds and then you're back in business it does not have the mechanical lock out

 You can unscrew the tailcap but it's still accessible that way it's powered by 4 18650 lithium-ion batteries these cells need to be capable of a discharge of at least 8 amps. One great thing about this too is it doesn't just rely on large pcbs like some of the cheap lights, they just have one great big PCB in there and the cells slide around on it. They have good high-quality contacts and there's really no way that you could get this wrong as long as you get the batteries in the right direction.

 There's a couple of pins here that you can see this swivels and these pins will line up in the holes right there. Looking down the barrel you can see we have three Cree xhp 70 leds highlighted with this attractive blue ring and shrouded with a really good orange peel aluminum reflector that eliminates all of the articles and dark crosses that are associated with the four diameter.

 The beam of the Olight x7 is velvety soft on a white wall and even better once you get outside, it has a bright Center but I almost hesitate to call it a hot spot because itself even spread and blends well with this spill but it's also got range too 313 meters is the calculated beam distance from this life and it feels that way when you're using it I'd like to hear what you guys thing. Do you have a portable flashlight that you think rivals the Olight x7 for world's brightest flashlight, let me know in the comments

The High Lumen Flashlight Review

In this article we're getting a first impression of the Duracell 350 lumen flashlight 3 pack.This is perfect for the high power rechargeable LED flashlight I purchased this with my own money, I'm not being compensated from Duracell for this review, and no one is seeing this except for me. This is the standard disclosure for this channel to maximize transparency with our readers and encourage increased transparency in the YouTube community. This was a Costco purchase and I'll have a link to the item in the video description below. 

We use flashlights around the house occasionally and are used to Maglite flashlights, but when I saw this at Costco for $19.99 I thought having three smaller flashlights around the house would be handy. The price was definitely right too. In the package you get three 350 lumen flashlights that each take four triple AA batteries  are included. Duracell says these flashlights have a rugged and lightweight build that's made of anodized aluminum, a variable focus that can go from a high intensity spot beam to a wide flood beam, has a range out to 200 meters, and can run for one and a half hours on high or seven hours on low. The flashlights are made in China.

 Let's  open it up. OK so here we have one of the flashlights You've got a gripped texture throughout the whole length of the flashlight so you don't have to worry about it slipping out of your hand. The design at the top is really great. Duracell doesn't say anything on the packaging about any kind of tactical use I don't know how well this will hold up. The LED inside and the push button cap

 When you push the button it's going to start off on high and then if you push the button again it'll go to low and then pushing the button again will go off. And it looks like there is no kind of memory function on here so it should always start off on high and then cycle down. The batteries are in here. Duracell doesn't say anything about weather resistance or waterproofing or anything, but there is O-ring in there to help keep some of the elements out. You've got your battery compartment there.

 And so to go from the flood light to the focus beam it's a matter of pulling on the flashlight. Let's see if we can get some of these lights turned off and we can get a better look. that's the flood. It really zooms right in there. And there's low.

So Duracell says about seven hours on low and about an hour and a half of run time on high. That's going to do it with this first impressions video. I think it's pretty neat. We wanted the 3-pack so we could have a couple of them in the house and one in our vehicle glove box.

 There have been some concerns on the Costco website for reviews that people have talked about battery draining, maybe there's something with the push button cap that's draining the batteries. I think maybe in the vehicle I'll have this loosened up so it won't make contact.

So if we had it stored maybe we won't have to worry about batteries draining. Of course you always want to be prepared and keep an extra set of batteries with you. I will be on the lookout and note my observations on the flashlight. If anything changes my initial impression, which I'm happy with this and if anything changes we'll update the article or shoot a new video

                                              High Power Flashlight

The high power flashlight has several advantages  ranging from its use underwater to camping flashlight. It has also been know to provide illumination in less developed countries when there is power outage. Helping in continuation of surgical operation during power surge has helped saved a lot of lives in such countries

Over the years there  has been significant improvement in the design and operation of the flashlight. The high lumen flashlight now uses the LED bulb as against the filament bulb, this has resulted in less consumption of battery power. Brighter light has also been produced using the LED light bulb.
