Bolder LC90

Anker LC90 LED Flashlight. This torch is amazing and such good value considering the high quality aluminium construction and bright light that it emits. The pros are 1. LED bulb with 3 brightness settings, strobing and SOS flash 2. Very good quality made from strong aluminium 3. Rechargeable with supplied high capacity lithium battery 4. Water resistant rated at IP65 5. Pocket sized 6. Lightweight without compromising quality 7. Zoomable so you can focus the light to a specific spot The cons are 1. Power button to the rear but I suppose this prevents accidental switching on or off while carrying 2. The process of cycling through the different modes can be a little annoying 3. Can get a little hot on the brightest setting but you will rarely need it that bright I've been using this torch for 18 months now and it's still going strong. I mainly use it for walks through the countryside or on the beach after the suns gone down and a couple of camping trips. Battery life seems good, though I mainly using it on lowest brightness as this is enough for general use and used it for a good 4 hours+ without any problems. I take the battery out to recharge on a 18650 battery charger that I have for my vape device and would recommend doing this as it gives a much better full charge. You can get the charger for around £10 from Amazon. Overall good quality, good value and perfect for seeing clearly in the dark. Recommended.

Bought this for my son to take on a school residential as my 1200 lumens CREE torch would be a little too big for an 8yr old. REALLY surprised at how well it performed. I'll admit I didn't really read the specs of the torch when I bought it as I just wanted something from a decent brand for under £30. Very surprised that this torch was rechargeable via a microUSB cable. The battery is an Anker branded, protected 3350 mah, lithium ion battery which is protected with an IPX5 rating to ensure that the electronics are protected by the elements even when raining. I would suspect that its would be protected if dropped into puddle too. It came well presented in a sturdy box containing the torch, battery (with a manufacturing date), micro USB charging cable, a lanyard, and a easy to understand manual. - The lanyard didn't contain a tightener so I purchased a separate pack for extra security from a different seller - http://amzn.eu/h2u6IVh To operate the torch, there is a button on the tail cap. A firm press turns the torch on but to switch between the various lighting settings is a little more fiddly. With a half press followed by a full click of the button you cycle through the modes. There seems to be a variation of flashing modes and standard lighting with varying degrees of brightness. I really think that this torch is a bright as you would ever need in any situation, I am sure that with the right adapters, you would even be able to attach it to the front of your bike at night or day to make sure that you were visible to other road users. Unsure of the run time yet as I haven't used the charge that was in the battery on arrival, but we've had a full weekend away in Wales and its still not flat. Very impressed so far ! The quality of the torch is very well finished, my only gripe is that is doesn't come with a storage case to protect the outer finished from being scratched (when in storage) as its far too nicely finished to be ruined by an accident The torch has a zoom operation in which you focus the head forwards and backwards very much like a telephoto lens on a DSLR Camera, it has a fair bit of resistance to it so you can tell its a quality product. The zoom functionality is very much like used on LED Lenser and FELT Torches Very decent price considering the quality of the proctuct and that comes with an 18mth Guarantee too. Might look to replace my BIG torch now with an ANKER rechargable product :) And to amuse you all, i've just found out that my 8yr old only needs the torch for reading in the evenings, I thought they might have been doing late evening walks through the woodland :) Maybe this torch may have been just a tad OTT ! lol

This is a review of the Anker LC90, I have bought this with my own money. I've been looking for a USB rechargeable LED torch for a while, steering clear of the cheaper end of the market with dubious Chinese lithium batteries of unknown quality and associated fire hazards. I cannot justify the prices at higher end of the market for what is just a torch. I stumbled upon this torch from Anker when I received an email from them for a one day sale, showing this torch with £5 off, making it £20, and very affordable so I ordered it. I have bought a few Anker powerbanks over the years so I had a reasonably high expectation of what the torch would be like, and I wasn't disappointed. It came well presented in a sturdy box containing the torch, battery (with a manufacturing date of only the previous month), micro USB charging cable, a lanyard, and a easy to understand manual. The battery is a Anker branded, protected 3350 mah, lithium ion battery. It is inserted into the torch by removing the tail cap, and then a secondary cap, and following the polarity sticker on the inside of the casing, and refitting the secondary cap. This is something you only need to do when new, and I suppose when the battery is worn out. You charge the torch by removing the waterproof tail cap and plugging the supplied micro USB cable into the port. A red led changes to green once charged. This took about 4 hours from first charge with a 1.5 amp sony charger from my phone. The Tail cap is retained to the torch with a little lanyard, which is a nifty feature to save you losing it. A button on the tail cap turns it on, and wow, a very bright white, light with the slightest blue tinge. Comparing it to other led torches I have, I've no reason to believe it's not the 900 Lumens as quoted. Switching between modes is not quite as intuitive as you would expect, with half presses and full clicks means you need to cycle through the full range of modes more than you should, to arrive at the setting you want. Medium setting is slightly dimmer than full, and low slightly less again. In my opinion the low could ideally be lower still, (and a moonlight setting would be fantastic) but you do need to remember the price point of this torch. I doubt you ever realistically need a brighter torch. I've not fully tested the runtime yet, but a few hours use on full whilst camping at the weekend would suggest again that the 6 hours stated is about right. The torch itself is very well finished, with high quality anodising with a good knurled grip, the zoom action is smooth easy to operate one handed. The zoom from spot to flood is well implemented, being similar to anyone used to a led lenser torch. In summary a bargain at the price, rechargeable, and very bright with Anker 18 month guarantee. You won't be disappointed. I just hope that the bigger lc130 makes it to Amazon UK.

Klein, hell, Akku hält sehr lange, perfekt die abendliche Hunderunde

Bright

Great quality, sharp LED torch. Beam is not adjustable, bilut the light is great. Nice and compact lightweight.

Buena calidad

I have received this flashlight just several days ago - but with my current usage this is already confirmed to be an excellent product! Have tried it during the night, max brightness is extremely good and max distance for light is same as it's mentioned on the production description. Flashlight came in a nice little box with small charging micro-USB cable. Flashlight was already charged. I did attach it to my micro-usb, charging indicator shows red colour. Once charge has finished, it turned into blue colour. Size is relatively small, holds very nicely in hand. Button (for mode operation) is pleasantly tight, so it shouldn't accidentally activate in your pocket. Word of caution - you have to go through all 5 modes of operation (pressing the button each time), though it's standard for the majority of flashlights. Bottom line - I highly enjoyed this product and would recommend it!
