This is a flashlight from Byblight model F11-T Deluxe. Upon ordering this light it comes with a lanyard, solar keychain, 2 rechargeable batteries, a charging port, and of course the flashlight.
To start with this flashlight is made from an aluminum alloy. This makes the flashlight very durable for the instances of accidental dropping. The alloy also helps prevent rusting when or if the light comes in contact with water.
This light comes with a water resistance rating of IP65. Which means: Protected from total dust ingress and protected from low pressure water jets from any direction. What this means you can actually use this flashlight while it is raining and not have to worry about it being ruined.
Now when it comes to the torch. It says it can produce up to 1200 lumens. I have no actual way to test the lumens of the light other then I can see about 100 feet really easy with this light. There are 5 total settings for the light. There is high, medium, low, fast strobe, slow strobe for settings. There is also the ability to telescope the torch to constrict the light making it more focused and brighter at the fixed point.
It is very simple to go through the light progressions. Pressing the power button on the bottom of the light the first time engages the high setting. Pressing again turns off the light and doing this after each change in the light powers the torch off. Next press brings the medium setting. Then the next light setting is the lowest light setting. Pressing yet again to power the light puts the light in fast strobe mode. Pressing the button to power the torch puts the light into the slow strobe mode.
Next the batteries, charging station, and charging. This light comes with 2 Li-ion 26650 3.7v-g rechargeable batteries. These have the capacity of about 3000Mah. Included in this kit is a USB charging port for these batteries. This works for charging the batteries from any powered USB port. I was able to charge these batteries from my laptop, desktop, and 110w adapter. Now it takes a couple of hours to get a decent charge into these batteries. The charging does go a little bit faster when using the 110w adapter.
The battery life all depends on the light modes you are running. If you are running it on the high setting full time the battery will lose charge much faster then on low setting. I noticed I get a few hours of use out of the flashlight on the medium setting. This is usually more than enough for any project I am needing light.
The other 2 items included in the box are the lanyard and the solar key chain. The lanyard is nice but not big enough for my arms. It takes stretching it to max to be able to get it around my hand. Yes, I do have big hands so take that into consideration. Next is the solar key chain. This is a press and hold button to turn the lights on. These lights are 3 LED lights that are actually very bright. It is more then enough to light up a doorway to put a key in the lock.
Lastly going back on the build of this flashlight and the aluminum alloy casing. If you are carrying this while out on a late night walk or something along those lines this flashlight can be used as a self defense tool. It is strong enough to take some thrust into your attacker and not break apart in your hand. I know this is not the intended purpose of the light but it is a very nice side effect.
I have had mine for a couple of months now and have yet to have any issues at all with the light. If you are in the market for a nice flashlight this is one you should consider. It is made for durability, water resistant, multiple light modes, a very easy to use charging station, and with batteries which is very rare. I would like to thank Eileen Wang from 1easylife/Byblight for sending me this flashlight to try out and share my opinion.
