This looks like an odd looking flashlight. It is so much more then your ordinary flashlight though. It has tons of features and settings to help if you are in an emergency situation. Upon ordering this flashlight it comes with multiple adapter cables, instructions manual, a fairly nice box to store it in, and of course the flashlight.
I will start with the flashlight function. For the flashlight to come on you have to press and hold the power button for a few seconds. You have to do the same to turn the light off as well. Now you can click the power button and it will do burst strobe lights of about 5 flashes and pauses and continues the cycle. Then if you press the button quickly one more time it will put it into a continuous strobe function. The last thing you can do with the light function is pressing the button quickly 2 times in a row while the power is off. This will start the red LED strobe effect. The light of the flashlight is fairly bright and will light up a good 40 feet or so in front of you so you can see what is coming ahead on your path. These are all LED lights so they will last for a very long time, usually 50,000 hours or more as a general gauge.
The first adapter I will go over is the USB cable. It has a multi device plug on 4 different wires. This attaches to the bottom of the flashlight under neath a rubber cover plate. It plugs in like any other USB cable. This is super easy to use, it requires plugging into the USB port on the flashlight and then matching the correct plug for your device.
Next is the DC adapters. There are 3 total types of DC adapters included in this kit. First is the one that plugs into your flashlight on the DC in side(labeled on the cover) to charge the flashlight. This is a standard charging cable that plugs into your 110 outlet and then into the flashlight. Next is the car adapter that plugs into a lighter plug. This is for charing the device as well and very simple to hook up as well. This requires plugging it into a car lighter socket and then into the DC in side to charge the flashlight. The last adapter is really unique on how it works. This one is designed to work in the DC out(labeled on cover). This makes it where you can power a laptop if you need to. This is a cable that is about 10 inches long. This cable comes with a set of power plug adapters for almost any type of laptop power plug slot. There are 8 plug adapter included with this kit, these work much like the universal kits for power supplies you find at most stores.
The last adpater is for jump starting your vehicle. There are a set of steps you are to follow when using this adapter. These steps are detailed in the instuctions manual. This adapter plugs into the base of the flashlight under a rubber cover. On this cover it shows a picture of a car(this plugs here), it says USB, and on/off on this cover. It was fate for me when I got this flashlight sadly. I no more then got this flashlight and the following weekend my battery died. I used this to get my truck up and moving towards O-Reilly's. This is not the super boost you get from your normal jumper boxes so if you have a draging starter it might affect the results.
This flahslight has a 10,000 Mah battery. I am able to charge my phone, tablet, Bluetooth earbuds, and Bluetooth speakers from the USB adapter plug in the bottom of the flashlight. I have not tested the DC out for my laptop at this time but I am guessing it will get about 15 minutes of time before depleting is reserve in the flashlight. I was able to jump my truck with the adapter without any problems at all, and it did not show any drop in the charge in the flahslight afterwards which was great. I was thinking jumping a battery would be a one and done thing. I am very happy that it will jump more then once per charge incase the vehicle goes dead on your way in.
The fucntion to change between the amount of volts and amps are controlled through the power button as well. Pressing the button once turns the power on. Directly above the power button is the scale showing what voltage setting you have the flashlight in. Once it is turned on it will go back to the last setting you had for your voltage output. Now to change the settings between 12, 16, and 19V is done by pressing the power button quickly and releasing it.
For all of this to work there is an on/off switch located underneath the rubber cover at the base of the flashlight. The light will not function as long as it is in the off position. If you are going to be storing this for a long period of time it is recommended to make sure it is in the off position. I keep mine in my truck box located in the bed of my truck in the off position. It also says do not keep this in an extremely hot area or extended direct sunlight because it could damage the battery.
The best thing about this is you can charge it almost anywhere. It is very light weight and compact making its portability very easy. The flashlight weights in about a pound. The flahslight is about 2 1/2 inches in diameter and about 8 inches in length. The box that this kit came in is about 6 inches by 9 inches and holds the flashlight and all adapters in it without any problems.
If you are looking for a very verasitile emergency kit for your car, boat, truck, or even motorcycle I recommend checking into this kit for sure. It is portable, light weight, can charge almost any device, has a decent size batery capacity, and able to jump start a vehicle. I would like to thank Bestworld and affiliates for sending me this emergency kit to try out and share my opinion.
