If Rovyvon got rid of the proximity sensor and replaced it with a green laser and added a magnet to the clip, this would be an insta-buy from me. Edit: bought angel eyes E80 and I do pretty much love it. Only thing its missing is a magnetic clip to mount it places and the pocket clip juts out a bit too much making it slightly uncomfortable in the hand. Rovyvon offers a thinner Titanium pocket clip, I think I'll buy one but I'm modding the clip to add my own magnets. Other than that I just wish it had a crenulated bezel for striking and face standing, other than that it is perfect.

I have the light and while an additional laser would be very cool, it's an awesome light without it, due to all the other features. (I've disabled the proximity sensor on favour of using lockout instead).

One of my buddy’s have this light and he loves it. He is in Law Enforcement and works overnights. The red light he says, works amazing, and works great when clipped into his Molle vest. He said he also gets loads of compliments from the other guys asking about where he got such a slim flashlight with so much power, which matters a lot when you care about the space you have on your vest

I got one of these and I just love how complex this light is! Took me a month to figure out how to turn off the proximity sensor and back... Very usable, very EDC. I think for a backup or as a secondary light always at hand it is terrific! Also I went with a backpack the light attached to the strap. I used the red sidelight to illuminate the road ahead. Very convenient!!!

I tested mine in the water. Was swimming with the light in my pocket for ~10-15 minutes. The light was never deeper than ~1m. When I got out, you could see water behind the sidelight and main light lenses. I would not count on this being IPX8. Water resistant probably, and maybe could survive a quick drop in the pool or a lake, but I wouldn't depend on this light being IPX8.

I got the e30 without sidelights and I loved it practicality. When the pro came out, I got one and I love it. The only con is that it doesn’t have dual fuel like e30.

This proximity sensor is actually a good idea for a flashlight for survival or for work where you need to look at the instructions etc. We shine into the distance and in a moment I look at the map or instructions and there are 10lm. Actually it's a good idea. It's nice that you can also turn off the proximity sensor.

@ChrispyThings 5 ай бұрын

It’s a little much don’t you think? I’ve never seen a sensor that activates from so far away. Yes it’s a good idea to have a sensor that can be turned off but I think it’s too sensitive. 👍🏻

We are so spoiled for choice since the 2AA 1watt incandescent pen light days. The torch on my Solar Garmin watch is the most handy edc ever and is brigter and longer running on lowest out of 4 levels on white or red light. I rarely need my trusty old 1000 lumen cree xml2 Klarus rs20 but Rovyvon continues to be inovative.

@Jake_S_ Ай бұрын

Functionally, it seems like a scaled up A28, which I've been pocket carrying as an edc for a few years. I love the A28, so I might check this one out. The new E90 seems almost identical, but has a 2-way clip. Also, the button complexity isn't an issue for me because the A28 is the same! And I love the additional functionality of the extra lights.

They might as well have just made one of these but clear like they’re smaller lights and also give it a laser and have everything in one such as all the side emitters, including a UV and a warm emitter and a red and they might as well throw some RGB in there as well. Just make it a light that has everything, so if you just wanna go crazy and show off a light and have fun with it. It doesn’t have to be some like super Duper tactical and every kind of thing it can just kind of be a crazy fun light that does literally everything. So it wouldn’t be for like police officers or something like that but just for a flashlight enthusiast that wants to have a crazy light that literally does everything. No one’s done a clear glow changeable battery as well as an onboard rechargeable battery such as the previous version that literally does everything including what smaller glow-in-the-dark lights do.

Perhaps you would like the Klarus FlatTac X1 better? It's just the main light, and its dual Sst70, instead of 40. So might be more practical for your concerns. It is a 2150mAh battery, instead of 3000 though. That was the deal breaker for me. And why I went with E90.

@dialucrii31 3 ай бұрын

I love your videos but I strongly disagree with your conclusion on this one. If you're used to the usual rovyvon UI then this is actually quite intuitive with only a couple of additional steps. Ultimately, we can't eat our cake and have it too - if we want this many functions in a single flashlight, you need the same buttons to perform several functions. It's either that or people would complain about there being too many buttons. So you have to either accept reduced functionality/led options or master a slightly more complicated UI. I have a LOT of flashlights and it is easy to forget which UI does what as I rotate flashlights, but as someone with several lights from rovyvon, I find this E30 pro quite easy to use. The other thing to consider is that most people looking for a multifunction light are not collectors or at least aren't rotating dozens of lights, so won't be so phased by learning the UI to operate it. And the functionality, well.... I don't believe there's a flashlight light that does as much as this does aswell as it does it, in terms of combining EDC and tactical functionality. If that means a slight learning curve to master the UI then I'm ok with that age I think most people would be. I got out for £52 in a rovyvon website sale and compared to the nitecore etc equivalents, it blows them away at that price. The functions, lumens, battery capacity and just how it feels in the hand (I have the marble version, very premium feel). Out of 100 or so different lights that I own, this is the closest to "one light light to rule them all" that I've found so far. There will never be a flashlight that is perfect for all purposes, but this gets pretty damn close in several categories imho. Keep up with the great reviews. 👍

@ChrispyThings 3 ай бұрын

That’s the thing. I don’t want that many functions in a flashlight. I’ll gladly carry 2 when I need different functions that would perform better than an all in 1. That opinion could change, but as of now I want an EDC floor, and a separate TAC thrower.

@dialucrii31 3 ай бұрын

@@ChrispyThings I hear you but with this light you're getting all the edc functionality while still having an easily accessible Tac mode. I agree it lacks throw for searching at distance though and if I was heading out walking at night I'd want a thrower too. But for 90% of use cases, including self defense, this light covers everything you'd ever need. And I value having all that in a single, light, compact form that's easily kept on me all day. More practical than carrying two lights and it frees up a pocket for other things. FWIW, if I was to carry two it would be the E30 pro and a warrior x4, though the javelot turbo might replace that, just because it's so compact. I think once someone was used to the UI, this would become their go-to (as has happened with me), especially if they value red light at night, which is partly why it ticks so many boxes for me.

I have the nitecore edc27 and the 3000 turbo is a gimmick. The battery has to be fully charged for it to come on and if you use it at all and the battery is at say 90% turbo works for about a second or two before it shuts off. I don't know why they even added it to the flashlight. It only works if the battery is at 100%.

This is by far the best performing, most useful flashlight I've ever owned by a mile. Maybe a country mile. Nitecore can take their shit version and jam it
