RovyVon A8 Review: Most Feature-packed Keychain Light?

[@christopherbareja996]

Oh man, I knew it was possible to get it to start in moonlight mode! I did it and then undid it without knowing how. Thank you for explaining that it's memorised by leaving it in that mode for 3 minutes! A lot of other reviewers don't know this and just say it can't be memorised.

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Your welcome mate! The manual wasn't super clear about it but that's what I interpreted from it.

[@MADHIKER777]

Rovyvon really has focused on Keychain lights and it shows. They don't really have any competition when it comes to features. Nice to note that the UV is at the proper frequency. Kudos to Rovyvon. When is comes a small light, total lumen isn't important as runtime. Use of such a light will be a last resort because you don't have anything else.

[@DarrenYeoYT]

It's definitely more than anyone will need for a keychain light haha. And yeah I was impressed with the 625nm UV light as well :)

[@MaZEEZaM]

Not a last resort for me. I used to use it whenever I left or got home or elsewhere in the dark, I don't want much brightness, just enough to light where I'm walking. Its a really convenient, everyday carry size.

[@SimplicityEDC]

I really like the A5 that glows in the dark. Easy to find at night when you need it

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Yeah, a surprising feature.. noticed the E1/8 are the same.

[@MaZEEZaM]

It's very impressive how much light such a tiny torch gives out.

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Yeah it's nuts. It steps down quick though, which is needed...

[@JohnnyBoy-mt1lj]

Best thing ever! Blinky mode!

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Yeah if you ride a bike etc.

[@trailtocamp]

It needs a low red light for map reading. It's to bright at night and is blinding for map reading as it is. Otherwise, a great light.

[@avgrim7729]

I have the A8 3rd gen with Amber, red and blue lights and the A7 3rd gen that glows green but i can't remember the side colors both have nichia.

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Awesome.. they come in a heap of different configurations. Interesting SMD LEDs too - they look like mini versions of normal LEDs.

[@avgrim7729]

@@DarrenYeoYT They come in handy checking your mailbox and getting your key in the door when the lights are off. High quality and very bright for their size.

[@DarrenYeoYT]

I like the look of their copper one :D

[@Erin-Thor]

How do you get yours to switch to red/blue modes? Mine does UV, white in 2 brightness and 3 red and red flashing modes. The manual says three quick presses, and that doesn’t work.

[@GehWegX]

I have the A3 G4 MAO Pro with Tritium…love it!

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Very nice mate!

[@truno7]

Moonlight memory is the best since this is my nightstand light and daily carry light.

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Yeah and so easy to access too. One click...

[@gotcharamsys]

I love A8 with amber light 👌

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Haven't seen that version but I do find that warmer light is easier on the eyes. I use the red one a lot but it doesn't make much light.

[@marcooscatigna916]

A4 pro, is on another level

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Titanium!

[@MaZEEZaM]

Given you have the UV version i had anticipated no red light but it does have the red light, so whats the difference with the Red Amber model?

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Yeah, there is a amber, red, blue aux version. I prefer the one I have as it gives a larger range of functions with the UV included.

[@Erin-Thor]

I see you swapped out the magnetic end-cap. How did you do that? I tried a screwdriver and a needle nose pliers and exerted enough force I thought I would break the plastic if I pressed any harder. Any clue how to swap it out without breaking the little thing?

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Use a finger nail and 'scratch' one of the shorter edges. It clips onto the the light that way so don't just pull it or it'll break that lip on the plastic

[@theprofessorheist]

is this the NICHIA version?

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Yes

[@n0dedotorg]

I have one and I don't understand the amber LED that barely lights up along with the UV LED. It's not bright enough to do anything and can't be turned on by itself.

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Hmm, the amber light should be able to be activated separately from the UV apparently

[@n0dedotorg]

@@DarrenYeoYT Just checked again. It's not an amber LED, but the white LED that just barely glows (and appears amber) when the UV LED is on.

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Perhaps faulty. Shouldn't do that. ​@@n0dedotorg

[@n0dedotorg]

@@DarrenYeoYT It does the same thing in this video.

[@DarrenYeoYT]

​@@n0dedotorgcan you activate it separately at normal brightness?

[@lachumansukhani2502]

Nice how much where can I buy

[@DarrenYeoYT]

It's in the video description, I left an Amazon link

[@herofx2881]

can't find a metal one with the side lights weird

[@DarrenYeoYT]

That is weird. The metal ones tend to have all the bells and whistles.

[@MaZEEZaM]

@19:00 is that a helicopter or plane?

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Not sure 😅 could have been a car too

[@MaZEEZaM]

ALOOMINUM What!! 🥶 Where'd the Aussie pronunciation go lol 😭

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Been influenced by you Americans too much 😂

[@MiscName]

Excellent review. But - “aluminum”? You’re Australian not American 😂

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Did I say aluminum? 😂 Been watching too many American reviews

[@jbreeze8610]

Cool but to much for a keychain light

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Yeah they are a bit pricey for keychain lights but they have tons of features too. I'd rather get a metal version next time, maybe copper/brass.

[@Erin-Thor]

Maybe… I bought mine after replacing the little AAA battery on my $9.99 300 Lumen O’light key chain light a few dozen times and realized the battery costs add up. This is rechargeable, multi modes and 600 lumens. I paid $37 not including tax. I’ve spent about that in batteries alone over the past few years, so IF you use it, not a bad deal at all!

[@miguelangelgomez9720]

RoVyVon are a very bad flashlight, only work for a few weeks. I never will buy another of this one. Expensive trash.

[@DarrenYeoYT]

They have a generous warranty at least so you can claim it if it breaks. I carry this one with me all the time when travelling
