Hey Jon. Bought the A8 gen 4 on your recommendation and its an amazing little light. Interesting little feature in case thise watching arent aware, you can "program" the you want to come on with a double click by switching to the level of brightness for 3 mins. I set moon beam mode and i have instant access with a double click. Love your content and i cant wait to see what else you bring us.

Thanks to your recommendations got an A8 G4 last week. I don't use the clips/loops supplied or what you use but I use simply a length of dyneema, with knots each end doubled-up to not fail, then I feed it through the A8 , then through the loop I made, then at other end make a loop and feed what I just made through it and belt loop and then tighten. Result is roughly 8 inch of string with the A28 just short of the bottom of your pocket. Nothing can rattle and if I want to detach it just loosen the loop on the belt and pull out. I do similar thing with my door key on other side of trousers. Nothing to rattle as it's only dyneema against key / flashlight. To lose your light / key would involve a pull so strong it would rip your trouser belt loop as dynemma is stronger than your trousers, otherwise you can't lose them as they're tied your pants.

oof, long comment got deleted or youtube glitched. My first run-in with rovyvon had me getting a defective Angel Eyes E8 and customer service looking at a video of it I sent and telling me it is fine. That really put me off to them. They stuff looks and feels GREAT, but I figured that was it. Since then and after some interesting luck, I have acquired several of their lights and a WORKING AE-E8 and they are fantastic. They dont replace my Olight Warrior 3 for EDC, but I do have the A8 on my keys now in place of my little i1r eos that I had and my working E8 is my formal wear EDC. The busted E8 is for garage work, fishing, and fidgetting because I dont care if it gets more broken or lost. So far, that first bit aside, they have been well worth it. That says something coming from someone that has every right to crap on them. If you are thinking about it, give them a shot. E8 is my favorite by far and a fun side effect of the dual batteries is that the AAA cant put out the same power as the Lion so the side white light is SUPER dim on low and wont blind you at night or for reading and it takes the edge off the side red light, then you can just swap to the Lithium for max power. ALSO, lithium batteries have a lifetime before they crap out. As someone that tried very hard to fix my dud E8, you are NOT getting this thing apart non-destructively to replace the Lion battery...so daily AAA use is more than enough and easily replicable until you are in a bad situation and the lithium actually becomes the emergency backup. also, if you get one with side lights, go for red/UV/soft white and get bright white for the front. No regrets with that setup. (and, if you are from the US, make sure you are buying from their US based warehouse or you are going to be waiting a long time)

A8 default light level: The default light level (the one it starts in when you double click the button) is set by keeping the light lit in the mode you want to set as default for at least 3 minutes.

This is my only gripe with this light. I prefer when double-clicking that the A8/A5 always start on low. But if I used the higher modes for more than 3 minutes--memory is updated to a mode I don't like. I find myself periodically leaving the light on low mode for 3 minutes to reset it. Annoying! I have to consciously remember to cycle modes when using the light for a couple of minutes on one mode to avoid setting memory.

The switching in of an AAA cell is a novel idea... but going this route, I wish they'd allowed for a NiMH cell that could be recharged when plugged in. The runtime on AAA cell is just too short. What ultimately would make more sense is to have a larger main cell, something like 600 mAh, and then have a battery level indicator. At present, the only indication is a flashing LED when near depletion. It's high time RovyVon introduced a battery level indication. Other brands like Trustfire do it, with a simple blinking of an LED (1--low to 4--high) when the light is first turned on.

One thing I believe you've missed is the memory. When the light is on for 3 minutes at a given intensity, that's remembered when you first turn on the A8. Unfortunately, there's no quick way to override that (e.g. reset back to lowest level). You've got to leave the light on for 3 minutes to set a new memory. It's the one annoyance I have with the A8/A5. I prefer the first mode to always start on the lowest setting.

I have an old A5x with micro usb charging and a non-magnetic clip and I absolutely love it. The size is practical and I love that the body fluoresces, that is among the most practical features of these. The side light combined with the clip also means you have a hands-free light on you: just clip it to the collar of your shirt. The main light clipped to the brim of a cap is more practical for this purpose as the beam is more focused, but I'm not someone who wears caps, so the sidelight is really practical. I typically clip it into my front right pocket and use the key ring as a quick grab handle. It's so much quicker than using your phone as a flashlight and because of this, I use it more, for example when it's dark where I'm going, so it's improved my safety. If I just had my phone, I would not go through the inconveniences of pulling it out just to see where I'm going, and I'd be more likely to stumble down stairs and so on. Also, I work in theatre so I use it daily, and it really holds up. It doesn't have the brightness of a bigger flashlight, but a bigger flashlight would weigh my already quite packed (with things) trousers down even more and I wouldn't be able to clip it to the collar of my shirt as an improvised "headlamp".

This is a ridiculous question, but any advice on how to put the rubber battery cover back in the A8? After 30 minutes of struggling to get that little pin part back in, I'm ready to send this back for a refund. Does the A28 cover function as poorly? Everything else about this light is great, but the Oclip Olight Pro absolutely has this beat in the battery cover (though I hate everything else about the Olight). Thanks, and great channel!

Hi Jon, thanks for sharing your reviews on these remarkable lights. Just received the E8, and in your opinion, what would be the best pairing battery for it. NiMH, Li-ion rechargeables or lithium primaries? Secondly, on A28 G2, I’d do prefer the old style pocket clip as the clip on version on G2 looks bulky somewhat. Can the G1 be upgraded with the G2’s battery pack? Cheers

Thanks for the video. Unfortunately the "Amazon links" don't work.

A28 every damn day Construction shift work. House hold work. Automotive work. Camping. Traveling. It’s a perfect light ever since the new pocket clip type c generation came out. I discovered rovyvon cause of you. So happy I bought it years ago

Guess I’ll retire my A28 gen 1 to my backpack and get the latest version for EDC. I have 4 RovyVon lights. Wonderful products.
