these are all lights I've found that had at least a four star and above rating
some of them have hundreds of reviews and a few of them have many thousands
number six the nicron N7 600 lumen flashlight rated 4.3 out of five stars
from six hundred and sixty eight ratings and has a price tag of $14.99 number
five the byb f-18 is 800 lumen flashlight four point five out of five
stars from 748 ratings and a price tag of 1998 number four the gear light s
1204 which I did not find an output ratings so we'll assume they want us to
think 1200 it rated 4.7 out of five stars from nineteen hundred and fifty
ratings price tag is $13.99 number three the anchor Boulder 900 lumens and rated
four point four out of five stars from 3468 ratings the price tag is $27.99
number two out light a 1000 a 600 lumen flashlight four point five out of five

only $9.99 number one the j5 tactical v1 pro three hundred lumen flashlight rated
four point four out of five stars from thirteen thousand five hundred fifty
four ratings and has a price tag of $13.95
this chart shows all of the testing I did for each light for the output on the
lights that could use multiple kinds of battery like the AAA and a 14 500 I
tested for both of those and I have that next tooth he claimed output on this so
you can binge on that chart I'll also link it in the description now just so
you know none of these lights were sent to me by anyone for review I purchased
them all with my own money but if you check the links in the description and
you purchase using those links you are still supporting this channel also I've
loaded several of my own products from my shop on Amazon which shipped from
Prime so you can get them as fast as possible if you decide to buy one of
those please leave feedback your own review on Amazon very much appreciated
thank you first up was our Nicron N7 and even
though it had the least amount of ratings this is definitely one of the
best flashlights that you can get on Amazon for cheap I buy this for people I
know personally it is super quality for the price it's all metal it runs on a
single AAA battery it comes with a sturdy pocket clip a magnetic tail cap
and it even does this little trick normally I don't like gimmicks but this
is really good that joint there is sturdy there's absolutely no wobble this
is a light if it had a different brand name on it I would expect to cost 40 or
45 dollars the user interface is simple you get on low off it does have blinky
stuff but to get to that you press down and hold and then let off and you're in
your blinky stuff there's a strobe and you can click again and get what looks
like SOS maybe if you want you can use either a rechargeable nickel metal
hydride battery or a 14500 lithium cell in there if you like my rating 5 stars
all the way onto our byb f-18 the build quality of this light seems good
solid it doesn't make any rattling we got a Cree led the switch feels great
it's very easy to make it come on it has a decent pocket clip it is rechargeable
inside here it has an 18 650 and to charge it we have a USB port here
unfortunately the battery is not removable so that means that when the
battery wears out and it will then your light is toast the user interface we
click for on and we have four brightness modes and you just click and
it'll cycle through those from high to low the off is by a press and hold if
you want your strobe you can double click the price tag on this is $20 and
for that I think this is still a good light because you don't have to buy a
battery and a charger this is a 4 star light I can't give it five because I
don't like that the battery is not removable before the gear light s 1200
is a zoomable flashlight a little bit ahead wobble not terrible this one is
powered by three AAA cells in an adapter but alternatively I found that a 26-6 50
will fit in there you'll need you know something to sleeve it with but a
rolled-up piece of paper would work the build quality overall on this just feels
kind of mediocre to me the threads are not good they're really cheap feeling
the switch is not bad the switch feels pretty good our user interface is it
defaults to high and then we have medium low and then our to blinky modes my
rating for this light in my mind I know that you're getting a lot of flashlights
here for 14 bucks this is a good light but I I know it's just because I'm a
jerk and they make me his snob number 3 in our lineup the anchor Bolder
also seems to be a pretty good flashlight it is a zoomable light the
build quality is good there is some wobble on the head but not bad it
doesn't feel cheap the tail switch is a reasonable press feels good it's not
spongy and the beam on it is gorgeous the color of the light the build on it
is pretty unique the LED is encapsulated under some kind of a dome that sits on a
post and it uses both an optic and a reflector
one other key feature this is also an 18 650 flashlight also USB rechargeable we
have our port here under the tail cap but something I've never seen before you
can just remove that little plug and inside you put your own battery the user
interface for our Boulder is we click for on and we can cycle modes high
medium low and then we have strobe and SOS and it will memorize any of those
modes it has off time memory so you click and
you got to wait about like 10 seconds and it'll memorize the last mode in you
so next time we come on we left off in strobe so there we are this is a 5 star
light to me for that price ok number 2 this is a familiar looking light sold
under a million names this is the out light 1000 a 1000 excuse me
powered by three Triple A batteries or you can put in 18 650 in it and this one
did come with the sleeve to do that you know with this one we we have got some
head wobble our user interface is the high medium low and then strobe and SOS
and this light will default back to high ten dollars is the price tag on this
light so I'm gonna try to be reasonable minded here and consider that this is
not a light you would ever see on my channel otherwise other than fruit for
this I if you really want a zoomy of all of them I've ever seen if it looked like
this I would much rather see a person buy this for ten dollars then the
identical one that's 40 bucks that's secret military technology because for
10 bucks this is a lot finally the j5 tactical v1
this little guy has 13,000 plus reviews and still rates almost five stars so I
was really curious about this and it's good quality it's a really nice little
flashlight it can run on either an AAA battery or a 14500 the finish is very
good the design is I think fantastic looking it's got a very sturdy for its
size pocket clip the tail switch is easy to access the head zips up and down
easily we do get a crisp image of our die when it zoomed out this light was
$14 to me this light is definitely a rival to what is it the cific that was a
little zooming we all had for a while we got a multimode user interface we got
our default too high and then medium or high low and strobe sorry as far as how
I would personally rate these in order of greatests to least it would be this
the micron in seven is by far the clear winner second I would put the anchor
Boulder followed by the B Y B and then the j5 tactical and then what I would
call a tie for last place is the out light and the gear light one last Golden
Nugget amazonbasics is selling their own
rechargeable nickel metal hydride AAA batteries and they are good I got
there's a couple different kinds they have the ones you want are these ones
right here the 2400 milliamp pre-charged I load tested these and they really
perform if you look at this chart they not only have that perfectly flat
discharge curve even under a heavy load they still maintained a reasonably high
voltage I also tested their self discharge capability like how well they
hold a charge if you leave the battery I bought tons of these and I left a
package of them sit it was for three months almost 90 days and when I load
tested them I still got a capacity of around sixteen
hundred milliamps I'm not ready to say that these are Amazon brand rebadge and
loops but they are made in Japan and they do perform in a similar way as what
you would expect with a quality battery from sanyo first we'll do some inside
stuff with our AAA lights this is the j5 tactical v1 Pro 300 lumen on an AAA
battery now we'll do the micron in seven on an AAA battery that's using our
amazonbasics nickel metal hydride rechargeable now
with the 14500 rechargeable that is with the lithium ion battery in the night Ron
and seven was my pick of the litter now we'll do
j5 tactical on the 14500 here's our side-by-side j5 tactical on the right
and micron micron in seven on the left
starting with our smallest in size this is the byb f18 this is the reflector
based light fix focus now the out light a 1000 that is our 600 lumen
zoomy
now the anchor Boulder
that's sumed all the way out for this one has the optic now the gear light s
1200 that is using the three Triple A or three AAA adapter sorry
there are amazonbasics nickel metal hydride cells and as always guys super
thanks for watching and good luck
you
