New Flashlights Sept 2024 (Loop, RovyVon, Nitecore, & more)

[@timb4425]

Man, it is so wild how far we have come since the days of the huge and heavy maglights we all had in the 90s. Thanks for the overviews.

[@dr.oetqer]

A while ago I found my 4D Mag again, after two decades with the batteries still inside. To my surprise it switched on just like the last time I used it! 😂 😂 Okay, I have to admit the light output didn't even compare with a small keychain light, partly because of the old batteries. I'm thinking about upgrading it with a led bulb.

[@txvet7738]

⁠@@dr.oetqeryeah I had a cell corrode in my 6D cell Maglight/baton that I had to get out. After getting it out and cleaning the inside it runs like a champ again. It is crazy how the output levels have advanced so much since then!

[@johnwayne666]

Exactly.....i said the same thing. Only on a Rc car video....they fly 50 feet in the air....i use to have to run after mine if youknow..youknow..😂😂😂...

I picked up an A8 with the uv side lights. it’s very good. The uv light is surprisingly effective and it has a glow in the dark body, which doubles as a way to find your keys in the dark

[@Jefreeman13]

Been carrying my A8 for around a year now, by far the best light I’ve had for edc

[@Erin-Thor]

I love mine, I bought the clear body. Which one glows in the dark? 😊

[@Nostradankus]

@@Erin-Thor The A8 is actually the only Rovyvon light in this form factor that doesn't glow in the dark. The A5 and A7 have full glowing bodies and even in the A6 the button and charging port cover glow.

[@Erin-Thor]

@ - I just bought an A3 gen. 4 and it doesn’t glow in the dark either. LOL! Thanks, I’ll look into the A5, A6 and A7 and see if I can’t live without them. Any interesting features?

[@Nostradankus]

@Erin-Thor Ah right, the A3 doesn't have a clear plastic body so I didn't even think about it! The GITD is the only standout feature for A5, 6 and 7. They all have 2 side light functions unlike the A8's 3, so they're not as nicely equipped but they're a bit cheaper too. It's odd, the same '2 function with GITD or 3 functions without' pattern also applies to the bigger E series lights. I wonder why that is.

[@Philscbx]

Regarding the​ L2 (NLIGHTD) - 25:11 This is the first time being introduced to an LEP Flashlight. Now retured, but used to service L-1011 aircaft fleet all night at 35 below zero at MSP Mpls Terminal. I was the only one who had the highest output Police Bataan Flashlight made at the time mid eighties. Similar to a 4D cell Mag Flashlight. Before flight engineer boarded, he'd grab me to do final walk about inspection before every flight. Where being able to see 55 feet to top of tail in middle of the night is quite critical. Had we had this class of LEP, details of rivits coming loose would have been ultimate. A lens kit adaptor to dial in average flood beam to this sharp edge detail would be cool. Truly worthy for late night rescue boating, if engine out, drifting down river heading for danger. Out of entire crew, I'm the only one on board with high output flashlight, was able to signal a boater over 1/2 mile down river, to tow us three mles back to port. Fortunately, blown rod of supercharged 350 Chevy at wot didnt breach the hull. Cheers

[@focusonthefocus]

I love to see you dedicate a flat flashlight video. Flats have intrigued me since learning about Flateyes from Panther Vision. Kobalt, Husky (in store only), Coast, Rovyvon, Nitecore and Flat Eyes... would be a cool overview/comparison.

[@Sparkysparkerson]

I use the aurora everyday. Great little light

[@gqborges]

The loop light has a really cool feature, it has a electric tridem that will stay lit up for up to two years so you could see it in the dark

[@whatfreedom7]

I have the rovyvon penlight and it’s been a great little edc light. I use it daily at work and it’s held up great with no issues.

[@txvet7738]

I still have the 1st gen Aurora with the old USB charging port and it is still running like a champ, I love it!!

[@MichaelRossi__]

Same I got the A3 and A33 and can’t justify upgrading them!

[@txvet7738]

@@MichaelRossi__yeah with so many variations of the Aurora series it’s hard to find the best of the best in that series!

[@MastaT]

I actually just picked up the A3 this month and have been using it aLOT. Its a great small size for easy carry and the light gets VERY bright which is amazing for the size AND price.

[@diemman70]

I love flashlights so I’m buying the the EDC25. Done. And maybe the loop too.

[@Artur-sw8er]

The led light color is generally overlooked but you can really see the difference.

[@UltraFire-Official]

I learned a lot, thank you for your video!

[@adriancazac420]

Rovyvon makes such a good flashlites, i love the dual power options.thank you .😊

[@jseden]

really like the looks of nlight d.. its essentially the titanium antman in a different body. I carried the antman for a while as a "tactical" light for self defense. Recently replaced it with a cloud defensive mch hc though. the cloud doesn't quite match it in candela but its overall a more useful light. I also carry a smaller light for lower light tasks.

[@MrChow]

I got the RovyVon E30 Pro for my EDC light it's been probably the best EDC light for me and everything it does.

[@DampActionRC]

Nice trit slots in the back of that L2

[@kevinhauser8250]

Bought mine 1sr Gen. uSB type A , 2 years ago and i still live it. Battery charge hasnt held up well though. Just my thoughts.

[@maxlvledc]

which one?

[@davegeorge7094]

LOve these photon blasters 2nd.and LASERS 1st!

[@Erin-Thor]

On the e30, I’d love two rechargeable batteries (both sides) instead of the two types as it would/should extend runtime. Are both replaceable? If I’m working, I want to just replace a battery and keep working.

[@XBLHAX]

u got me on that first light lol. bought the last one in stock!

[@lacanian_lifter]

Great reviews. Can’t say that either of the bar-style lights are going to move me to replace my Monstrum, which hits a respectable 2000 lumens and has a powerful laser pointer (that I use to direct my 2 year old in crowded stores, lol).

[@gregbeck906]

Please do a Flat Light only version! Thank you 👊

[@haroldg1688]

there is edc 29 model also

[@ryanmarquez9404]

I got the tunenge flashlight and its exactly the same as the first light you showed. Its under $20 on Amazon right now

[@vijaydhingra007]

Request for a detail comparison video on RovyVon Angel Eyes E90 Flat EDC Flashlight vs Nitecore EDC29 flashlight models.

[@edc_victor]

Did you see the Trustfire Mini X3?

[@twinty3326]

The look looks incredible!... But the Rovyvon A28 is cheeper and has the same gimmick but better. I do really hope loop improves on it!

[@twinty3326]

Out of morbid curiosity I have ordered one and will properly compare it to the A28

[@ks-hg5vo]

The sk03 is let down unfortunately by the 8 press for lockout.the stainless steel version is fantastic looking.

[@hellhound2260]

Nice stuff, waiting for your review of wuben x2 pro whenever you get your hands on one though.

[@blackforestghost1]

The nitecore edc 27 and 27uhi have an oled display, not LCD !

[@JorgeLausell]

the L2 for onboard a sailboat,small craft?

[@ucitymetalhead]

I'd probably get a rovyvon a3 but I really want that inlightd one.

[@The_Expert]

The power button that sticks out on my Nitecore EDC27 doesn't cycle through the different output levels after 2 months.

[@rays5163]

Question about the E30. It looks like theres a pro model with side lights but if im reading correctly it just has one big rechargeable battery instead of rechargeable+triple A back up. I'd really like the sidelights (with a UV emitter) but the dual power source seems like a smarter choice. Does anyone have any recs that tick all those boxes?

[@edc_victor]

Does the Gift Glow A2 tube fit other lights? It may be a way to avoid the UI.

[@txvet7738]

Question…do you think 50 lumens difference in power noticeable? I noticed the Aurora A3 Pro G4 has 650 lumens but the Aurora A3 Pro has 700 lumens. Some of the features on the A3 Pro G4 I like but I also like the higher power of the A3 Pro, just don’t know if I would notice it. What do y’all think?

[@cdc19845]

I have the E 30 rovyvon. It won't hold a charge for a week. Not even using it at all during that time. Rovyvon is ignoring ignoring me for some reason.

[@_EDCstuff]

The screwdriver light seems like a good idea, but, wouldn't it be likely that you turn on the light in your face when using it in screwdriver mode? Even if it had a side mounted button, I think you'd have that issue. It looks pretty cool, and I like the concept, but, it seems problematic, including the weird U/I. Combo tools always fall short, unfortunately. Plus, most times when using a screwdriver, I need the light to see my work, so having them independent from each other is my preference. Having the light aimed the other direction would be awesome for use as a screwdriver, but, that would probably take some clever engineering to do well.

[@michaelmartin2262]

My coworker has the EDC25 as a work light. I dont care for it. The light feels very floody, it doesnt feel very bright compared to my olight baton 4 at the high setting which is 600ish lumens. But I am also referring to using it in a work setting where you need to see small parts with limited light for about 2-4 hours at a time. Floody lights might as well go lantern.

[@txvet7738]

With all the to me confusing variations of the Aurora series, can someone tell me what are the main differences? The only thing I can see is the A1-4 and A9 have one light and the A5-8s have a side light, am I right?

[@t8858x]

Does the RovyVon have a back-up AA/AAA battery, or just rechargeable? Batteries are key.

[@Mrb00st]

Really tired of lights lying about output. If it steps down to about a third of output at 10 seconds(!) It doesn't actually produce that quantity of lumens. If ANSI spec is 30 seconds, if it's not putting that turbo output out at 30 seconds it doesn't count.

[@othername1000]

Next memory would make sense mechanically. To avoid parasitic drain.

[@kermitthepog7063]

Would you reccomend the new Nitecore MT2C Pro? Looks like good value to me, but I don't know a whole lot about torches. I have the new version of the NU25 and a powerbank from them, both work great. Just looking for something around that price to help me find a spot to camp when I get somewhere after dark in our 4pm sunset Scottish winter.

[@B-RaDD]

Wooo

[@jaskiniamestwa]

Hold on, everybody's happy over new Olights now...

[@trowawayacc]

I really think a button does not cut it for more than one mode. This lights need dials or some other way to access btwn the often 3 or 4 modes. I dont think the button will hold up too well in years. Also just finished the video and wao 😂 its just bad.

[@d2cuadrados510]

I had my eye on that Loop flashlight untill I realized the button is too easy to press in your pocket and another KZbinr pointed put you need to press the button 8 TIMES to lock it out 😂 Also, what are your thoughts on Anduril 2.0? I might get a wurkkos hd10 to try it out.

[@TopDog8762]

Flat Form Factor, I use a RovyVon E30 Pro. but the new Nitecore EDC29 looks better.

[@GMTD11]

I so in love with new "square brick" flashing format. It's slim, compact, fits in most pockets and organizers. I wish we can have some kind Nitecore Tube 3 with simple plastic body, one button 1lm/300lm two mode and 700-1000mAh battery. And ≈15$ price plz.

[@jorgeg.6847]

Linternas que detesto: * Sin memoria de último uso. * De batería interna no reemplazable. * Planas (carentes de ergonomía). * Diminutas, por su difícil manipulación.

[@DanielTAGyota]

✌️

[@user-wr6wo6vr8r]

The battery you need for the Rovyvon is a 10880

[@pikemaster20]

If one is doing heavily armed security work an LEP on you hat could be very useful. About the only time someone would want that on a hat.

[@B0n3rdawg]

That E30 looks great but the clip right in the middle like that kinda kills it for me

[@maxlvledc]

yea, a lot sticks out imo.

[@EDCMECH]

No e30 pro?

[@maxlvledc]

haven't tried it yet, but it also doesn't have AAA option

[@EDCMECH]

@@maxlvledc no it doesn’t but it has the side lights and higher capacity main batter and for some reason it looks even brighter. If the A8 was Bruce Banner, the E30 would be the Hulk!

[@scruffyronin9382]

Man I've been looking at the Loop for a while. I want one, but the price is just a little too high for it being a bit gimmicky. Especially the Pro version, that clip is not worth an extra $30 to me.

[@DONK0]

Nitecore edc29 review

[@cicerolaska]

I just want that clip

[@randomescu]

I never bought a RovyVon after my Aurora droped due to the shitty clip. I was walking, not runing or working. I heard they improved but i wont gave them my money again.

[@OnusBones]

I like that little Rovyvon A3; I may get one. Right now my keychain light of last resort is an Olight imini2; very small, but on/off is controlled by whether or not it is in its little holder; you can't really hand it to someone else. The A3 will eventually die, but it is cheap enough that I will likely have gotten my money's worth out of it. The E30 looks like a nice light, but way too expensive for what it is. Flat flashlights are nothing special, and pretty much guarantee non-replaceable batteries dooming them to eventually becoming expensive paperweights. The Loop, sadly, is a gimmick. There are better ways to get a spot+area light, especially for that much money; I'll pass. The Nitecore is also way overpriced. One of these days I'll get a LEP, but I don't think it will be this one; I'll go bigger. The A2 is also a way-overpriced gimmick with, as you say, the worst UI ever devised; flashlights from Hell use that one. The screwdriver end needs to be where the illumination is, and fumbling for pieces which will get lost only adds to the frustration. Send this one to a mortal enemy.

[@theceo1537]

GO GET THE NEW HYPER TOUGH 125 LUMEN POCKET FLASHLIGHT FOR $12 AND THE MINI FLASHLIGHT FOR $1.98... DO A WALMART HYPETOUGH REVIEW...

[@maxlvledc]

Ill check it out

[@Tbone42tx]

In my opinion the Wurrkos TS22 is a hard light to beat. Love mines also own the TS23 which is a Thrower/ Spot light... for the price you can go wrong there just as good as $100+ lights... it's my go to brand of lights coming from Olight which is just overpriced and overrated your just paying for the name

[@kathleensmith370]

interesting

i have no interest in flashlights where you are not suppose to replace the battery, i have to assume there are pouch cells in them. These flashlights are build for landfill. Pouch cells can get very nasty if they are at the end of their life, they gas out into the outer layer and look like a cushion. The 'breathing' of a pouch cell is also a normal process in charging and discharging the cell. If the pouch cell hits a sharp corner while 'breathing' you have a Samsung Note 7 fire problem. Getting a a bloated battery out of it's case without destroying the case or the battery (very hot) is very difficult. tl:dr: Non replaceable pouch cells bad, cylindrical cells good. Don't buy! :o)

[@VRStoned1978]

no battery change option …no value
