I have NEVER used the strobe mode on any flashlight, on purpose; nothing says "cheap flashlight" like a strobe mode you HAVE to click through to turn it off or get to the next mode. This one does score big points on versatility because of the side light. I'd keep one around as a quick-grab.

I was just about sold on this light. Because it appears to be a portable battery bank & Its not overly bright. So you should be able to see wire and cable colors. Which is a must for all my work lights. I like that it has a red light. A UV light in place of the blue light would have been nice. But not a deal breaker. I, am in the market for a light to replace my AA Rover light because I’m tiered of the cap falling off and having to hunt for it. But the flashing feature is a deal breaker for me. Why does every flashlight manufacture these days think an LED light has to flash to be a flashlight. Id bet < 1% of people ever even use the flash feature. To me it just cheapens the flashlight and makes it unpractical. In this case more features is NOT more better. But thats just my opinion. Id pay the extra $60 for wuben just so I don’t have to cycle though the two useless flashing modes. But Id probably buy 3 of the Warsun if I didn’t have to cycle through the flash featured.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@mumbles1justin I agree on the cycling.. it’s a bit of a pain. And I never want a strobe

[@mumbles1justin]

@ out of curiosity is it actually a power bank? As in, can you plug a phone charger into the USB-A or USB-C and charge phone or another device with it?

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@ yes on the USB A, the usb C port didn’t charge when I used it. Their manual has hardly no instructions in it, I didn’t even think about trying that till you all said something about it

[@mumbles1justin]

@ I may have to overlook the flashing modes and order one now. I don’t use my rover light often but the side light comes in clutch in certain scenarios. But a light that could be swapped out and not take up any more room on my bag and be able to charge / top off my KTC neck light or Vessel 220usb while I’m walking across a plant would be nice. May have to see if the Warsun is hackable so custom firmware could be loaded on it to get rid of the flashing features.

[@OnusBones]

The Boruit V20 may be what you want. It has a pivoting head, side lights, UV light, doesn't force going through strobe, and is under $30. Another option to consider is the Sofirn IF23 (not the Pro). It has a very bright main light, a very bright side light, can do colors if you want them (but not UV), and is powered by a 21700 and can act as a power bank (you'll need your own C->C cable). The battery can be charged in the flashlight (USB-C), or can be removed. Its magnet has no problem holding the light out at 90 degrees. This is, IMHO as a flashlight collector, the best toolbag flashlight I have found.

[@OnusBones]

#LETSGETLiT The forced cycling through all modes will keep this off the First String, but it still looks useful in a lot of situations. So, pressing and holding the switch when it is on does not turn it off? The Boruit V20 for a similar price has a pivoting head and the side light, and doesn't force mode-cycling to turn it off. The additional USB port on it is to provide an emergency charge to a phone or other device. Obviously it won't be much, but will do in an emergency, for at least a couple of calls. What is the battery capacity? Can it be replaced?

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@OnusBones the manual has very little info. It does charge on the USB-A, I tried it today. Doesn’t say on the battery, it does have screws where you can take things apart

[@KevinRodriguez-lv1li]

#LETSGETLIT I usually just have a rovyvon e5 on my hat, I'd say it's similar to the wuben without rotating head. I like that it has dual fuel option with a small internal battery as well as taking AAA batteries across voltages. So if all I have are lithium ion AAA, or alkaline I'm fine. I usually run it with a battery before it swaps to the internal battery so I know I'll have to replace it once I've got downtime.

[@OnusBones]

The reason my e5 is no longer my EDC is because it turns on way too easily. Otherwise, the dual battery feature is a real winner.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

That cycling button is a terrible implementation. I would've easily paid $25 for it if it had a couple extra buttons for the different functions and it probably would've cost them no more than $1 extra in work & materials to do that. But I wouldn't pay even $10 for it as it is.
