PIOOCAN Rechargeable EDC Flashlight 1200 Lumens, AA Pocket Light With Clip, Super Bright Small, 4 Modes for Camping, Home, and Emergencies (Green)

Nice product

Great for such a small light. Very easy UI so you can hand it to anyone. USB-C on the 14500 cell is very handy for charging, plus the light can be more waterproof when there's not a USB-C port on it's body. It also can take any standard AA battery, making it a handy light to keep in your car with a few spare AA cells for emergencies. Reversible clip makes it easy to clip to my cap.

I should start by saying, "I'm really picky about flashlights." My wife wants to put me in a 12-step program for obsessive flashlight buying. (This doesn't last long...I just ask her to step into our closet and I point to her shoe collection.) Anyway, I'm always looking for something small in size, large in lumens, and easy on the pocketbook. In order to find the perfect flashlight for the job, I have searched long and hard. Keep in mind, there's probably no flashlight made that would satisfy every need or situation. But if there is, the PIOOCAN L2 should come very, very close to it. First of all, 'brightness.' Not every situation calls for something with enough lumens to light a film studio. In fact, most of the situations I find myself in call for something not quite so...blinding. Also, realize, the brighter the light, the faster your battery will run down. The L2 is a perfect compromise on that front. Three levels of brightness, in an easy to use thumbswitch - double-click to go from dim/med/bright - and the levels are perfect for say, looking at directions in your car (too bright a light, and you'll be unable to adjust to see the road), looking around the room for where you left your glasses before bed (it happens) or searching the house because your wife heard 'a noise.' (Apparently, this is my job.) The supplied lanyard makes it easy to hook onto a nightstand or headboard. the hook lets you attach it to a shirt or pants pocket, or even affix it to the bill of a ball cap - mighty handy when you need to keep both hands free in the dark. The PIOOCAN L2 is rechargeable - but to do so, you have to remove the battery and plug it into a USB-C cable (supplied). I'm of two minds on this...it's an extra step to have to remove the battery to recharge it, but it's also going to be MUCH easier to keep it working should you drop it in a puddle or otherwise get it wet. What else? It's lightweight (solid aluminum body) and lightly crenelated bezzel make it an easy add for your every-day carry, especially when you're trying to 'go light.' All in all, it's a perfect choice for an EDC light, or anytime you need to see what you're doing, without calling in one of those howitzer flashlights that can double as a portable tanning booth.

I work in an auto shop so I need a flashlight pretty often but carrying a bulky one isn’t great and I’m constantly on the move so having one clipped to my belt isn’t comfortable plus it runs the risk of scratching paint as I move around cars. THIS little beauty is super compact in the pocket, brighter than the sun, and easy to use because the brightness setting stays the same so you can simply click it on and off (you don’t have to cycle through all the brightness settings every time). It’s important to note that the rechargeable battery it comes with is 3.7 volts, not the 1.5 volts that most “AA” or “14500” batteries are. When you put a normal 1.5V battery in it, it works of course, but it’s nowhere near as bright. That said, the battery lasts me a couple days of reasonably heavy use, but I’m never nervous about it going dead because USB-C chargers are literally everywhere these days. Time will tell on how long it lasts, but it seems to be made well, the button is very tactile, so I feel like it will hold up for a long time even with nearly daily use. The only “negative” I can think of is that on the highest setting, it does get kinda hot pretty quickly. I only use it for 10-20 seconds at a time for the most part, but keep that in mind if you plan to use it for extended periods and you need to illuminate the moon during the day. It doesn’t get hot on the first and second brightness settings though. If you need a compact and super bright light that is rechargeable, this is the one for you! Thank me later!

I absolutely love this little flashlight. I've owned this flashlight for about 2-3 months and work nights so it's definitely pretty used by myself. Definitely my EDC flashlight. I've even decided to buy another one to have mounted to my home defense shotgun. There are 3 downsides I found about this little piece of gear. One, the battery life isn't very good but considering it flashes up to 1200 lumens I'm not too surprised about it. The battery that comes rechargeable and it's not hard to find a similar product on Amazon that sells rechargeable batteries. Two, the paint is already scratching off. I keep this in my pocket everyday and the paint I can tell will not last very long but it's not too much of a problem to me personally. Three, the double sided clip catches onto a lot of random things if you keep it clipped to your pocket often. Eventually you will need to bend the clip back into place to where it clips nice and tug. But a pair of pliers should do the trick. Not too much of an issue. The flashlight itself works absolutely fine and as advertised. Definitely a well invested purchase. Well enough for me to want another one.
