Wowtac A1S LED Flashlight, Pocket-Sized LED Torch, Super Bright 1150 Lumens CREE LED, IPX7 Water Resistant, 5 Modes Low/Mid/High/Trubo/ Strobe for Indoors and Outdoors (WOWTAC A1S NW)

I really labored over my first purchase of a tactical flashlight. I wanted something that I can use equally on camping trips and for home defense. The 1000 lumen rating and strobe seemed to fit the bill. The light arrived and I was excited to open the package. The packing was good quality. The light was packed with a cardboard disk inside to keep the batter from discharging. I removed the battery to charge it. The USB feature charged the battery in about 15 minutes (it must have been nearly full charge) and the green light worked on the battery. The light body looked and felt great.This is where it took a turn for the worse. The large thumb/end switch clicked and the light powered on. Then the light flickered without touching the side switch. I tried to cycle through the different lumen output levels... it was very dim on on all settings. The SOS did seem to work. When I held the side button, the strobe worked. Through the entire test the light flickered. I never saw anything close to 500 lumen, let alone 1000. The side switch seemed way to light to the touch and had no tactile response... it was like a mushy spring.I am returning this. I am buying a mainstream light from one of the "high priced" options I tried to avoid. I am looking at Streamlight, Olight, and Surefire. Sometimes you get what you pay for.... I really wanted this to work.

I really like this flashlight. After my Olight baton gave up the ghost I said to myself, “there’s got to be good lights out there that don’t cost a small fortune”. I picked up this one and the headlamp model A2S. I’m very satisfied for the money. The only thing I can really complain about the A1S is that I wish the function switch protruded a little more to make it easier to find in the dark. I’ve been turning the clip around in line with the switch to better index where the switch is.

Great light but older model worked perfect. We bought ten of them. Just received two of this model and both of them had defective mode switches. Returning.

Best bang for the buck flashlight. I have the A1 & the A1S. For me I like the A1 better. Cheaper and a tighter beam which seems to shine farther then the A1s, depends what you like a tighter beam or a floodier beam. Both are built solid.

Upon receiving my A!S I was very impressed with the type oflums this flashlight puts out. For the price, it can not be beatand the quality is just as good as any other product on themarket today. The rechargeable 18650 battery is one of thebest and will save me money over time.

Super bright. clipped to my handlebars it is as bright as a headlight. Gets warm though.

I was really impressed with the the brightness at first, and overall it was a solid flashlight. But after less than a week the light would only produce a flicker, before completely shutting off. Pretty disappointing, don't waste your time or money on it.

Much better this replacement is very good item came new and packaged as expected performed very well very bight durable light will buy again!

Bought three of these in less than a year 1 flashlight doesn't work a few months later one of the batteries stopped working

Top of the line. Can't beat it for the price. Incredibly bright

Very nice flashlight. Build quality is very close to my Thrunite TN12. I have the NW version. Free battery with usb cord is a plus too. Get them while you can. 😁

This is a GREAT little light. Nice and durable (I've deliberately lightly abused it for testing purposes) and is confirmed waterproof. It is BRIGHT, and has decent battery life.

I initially bought 1 A1S and it worked great for about two weeks. I'm a home inspector and I use the light every day. I returned it when the switch became defective.

I got mine yesterday and inside was a hand written note that told me that it had power issues and the mode selector wasn't working properly.
