    Great Build Quality, Very Bright, Don't Love the Power Button Design
    Likes:1. Belt clip. Not too tight and easily clips on belt or pants.2. Brightness. Super bright.3. The quick button on the bottom. You can toggle the light on and off with holding in the bottom button.4. The focus is a good medium of a flood and direct. Right in the sweet spot.5. Easy to charge with your standard USB-C charger.6. The build quality is very nice in the hand.Dislikes:1. The main, on-off button on the side is not very easy to push. I wish it protruded from the body further.

    No photos with this review. This is a good flashlight. I keep it in the backpack I carry to the office every day because we have fairly frequent power outages in the municipality where I work and our facility's backup generator does not always work as expected. I like that the button the back of the cylinder can be used for quick steady or flickering light whereas to turn on the light and leave it on, there's a button closer to the light-bell. I dislike that the beam cannot be focused - the beam's just what it is, like an old-fashioned flashlight. I have had one problem with this light and it's that when I have it clipped to a loop inside my backpack and I throw the pack into the car or toss it into my office closet, that action has at least once depressed the power button near the light-bell and the light's stayed on for hours thereby depleting the rechargeable battery. Mercifully that didn't produce enough heat to burn the bag, though.

    Stout flashlight. My teenager says I'm "addicted to flashlights." With that in mind, I like this one. Four Stars not Five because of the minor dislike and minor problem noted above. Nevertheless, if I had spent money to buy this flashlight, I would have been satisfied with my purchase. Recommended.

    I love how bright this thing is, especially the tactical button.
    I keep it on my ekickscooter as an emergency light + at night it could easily pass as a self defense tool.
    I have only had it happen twice, but the light cut out and the power button flashed a few times then it wouldn't turn back on. I resolved it by unscrewing the battery door and reseated the battery. It worked right away. Not sure if it was a glitch with the battery protection or something, but worth noting.
    I just wish it was 21700 instead of 18650, but I have several of both types on hand.
    I don't trust the 3x AAA adapter as it could be a good backup for longer use, but with that kind of brightness and power pull, I just don't feel good using it in that mode. I can only imagine how fast those batteries would drain on high beam.
    It's hit the floor a few times and no visible signs of damage after hitting ceramic tiles.
    The clip feels solid and rigid for quick belt/shirt/strap securing/deploying.

    I use a lot of flashlights since I live in the woods away from street lighting. So, I rely on having good lights. Last week, we had a power failure and I reached for this light. It lit up my room just fine while the electricity was off. I set it on the medium setting and bounced the light off the ceiling. It was adequate for most tasks I needed to do.

    I like that it is rechargeable. If you have a longer term power failure, the light comes with an adaptor so you can use CR123A batteries. The rechargeable battery is sufficient for me needs right now. Having the option makes it more utilitarian. It's easy to charge with the built-in USB-C outlet.

    The barrel is made of metal so it is sturdy and will stand up to a lot of use. I do wish that the barrel had a bit of knurling on it though. That would help with grip if the barrel gets wet. It is smooth, so can get a little slippery.

    There are three lighting modes on the main button toward the front of the light. You get the usual high, medium and low. The tailcap also functions to get you into a flashing mode. It is rated IP68 for water-resistance. That means it can withstand submersion in one meter of water for 30 minutes. The head of the light will get hot if you run it on the brightest setting for a while.

    Overall, it is a bright light with an easy-to-use menu button. It is rechargeable, which saves money on batteries. It's handy for emergencies, and can withstand some water and dust. The build quality is good. I think it is a good value and am happy with this purchase.

    As at least one other review has reported, there is a battery issue with this product where use of the 'tactical button" causes the flashlight to stop working The only quick fix is to remove the battery for a moment. It's a nice looking flashlight but I own many other Hoto flashlights and this one definitely misses the mark. Its just a weird product that does not function as it should. Disappointing at the regular Hoto price point.

    I like the brightness of this flashlight, it is one of the best I have. I cannot get the end button to work for me beyond a super flash which frankly blinds me. I wish there were easier on off buttons. It charges very easily. Personally I would not pay $80 for this flashlight, it seems a bit pricey. Solid light though, probably worth around $40 ish.

    This rechargeable flashlight is really well built. It's got a nice weight in your hand and feels solid. The 3 brightness settings are great ond it's very bright on the max setting.

    The button on the back activates a strobe feature when you hold it down, which has some uses. It's not a feature I'll use often, but it does work well!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful Super Bright Torch

    Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
    I liked this torch from HOTO.It has a qaulity look and feel to it with it's satin aluminium finish.It's not too big or heavy, it will fit into my coat pocket or with its strong wire clip with rubber grip i can carry it on my belt.With a press of the on/off button the torch lights up on it's lowest brightness setting which is suitable for most tasks.Press it again for a higher level of illumination and once more for full brilliance.On the highest setting this torch is exceedingly bright and it will light up the surrounding area to a high level.There is another button on the base of the torch that operates the tactical features.Press it lightly and it lights up immediately on full brightness,a slightly harder press strobes this light and it can be used effectively as a means of self defence or to attract attention if in distress.The light goes out the instant the button is released.I will say at this point that i don't think this torch is suitable for use by children unless perhaps supervised due to it's high level of brightness and strobing feature.The torch comes with a short usb A to type C lead to charge the fitted battery supplied and alternatively it has the ability to be powered by two non rechargeable batteries of type CR123A (not supplied) that fit into a holder that is inserted into the torch should the rechargeable one run down during use.When being powered this way the torch works at a reduced brightness level.When charging the on switch lights up and fades continuously until charging is complete,a feature the manufacturer calls a breathing effect.When fully charged the light stays on for 20 seconds then goes off.When using the torch battery level is indicated at 30% by the indicator light white and on,below 30% it turns red and at 10% it flashes red so I will know when it requires recharging.I think this is a powerful, well designed and engineered torch of qaulity construction perfect for anyone who wants one that is a not too big but is still powerful,and I think the tactical features are a great additional feature that would be extremely useful in an emergency.I am happy to recommend it.

    Ich habe mir die Taktische Taschenlampe von HOTO für Nachtwanderungen mit den Kindern bestellt. Sie ist von der Optik und Haptik her Klasse.

    Die Bedienung ist einfach und selbsterklärend. Sie hat einen Schalter an der Seite für die normale Bedienung und einen Schalter an der Unterseite, mit dem man die Taktischen Modi schalten kann.

    Sie liegt gut in der Hand und für ihre Größe hat sie eine sehr gute Lichtausbeute, sie leuchtet alles schön gleichmäßig hell aus. Ihre Leuchtdauer ist abhängig von der eingestellten Stufe und kann bis zu 15 Stunden betragen.

    Von der Verarbeitung her kann ich nichts beanstanden. Es sind keine scharfen Kanten oder Grate dran. Die Oberfläche ist sauber eloxiert.

    Fazit: Gute Taschenlampe, die man überallhin mitnehmen kann, weil sie klein, extrem hell, robust und wasserdicht ist.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Durable, Quality Build/Design, Defective Button Top Battery Made the Light Unusable Out of the Box
    Reviewed in Canada on June 5, 2024
    Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
    The media could not be loaded.
     The flashlight comes with a USB-C charging cable, CR123A spacer tube, 1 x 18650 Li-Ion battery with a button top & a user manual.

    High quality building using a durable all-aluminum design that looks very nice. It measures approx. 15cm (long) x 3.4cm (head diameter) x 2.8cm (body diameter) and weighs 184g with the battery and 135g without making it fairly compact and light

    Strong removable belt clip that includes a rubber/silicone protective piece, so the clip doesn’t scrape on any hard surfaces when attached/removed.

    The end cap comes off and shows the dual O-rings to keep the light water resistant (it’s rated as IP68 waterproof). I found I would misalign the threads a lot when trying to screw the cap back on. I think it may be from the very fine threads and the double O-rings. I would have preferred larger threads as it would prevent misaligning and possibly screwing up the threads.

    The product description indicates that the light is zoomable, but I can confirm it is not. It uses a single LED module centered under what feels like a glass lens.

    There are 2 power on modes, button on the side or the quick press tactical button on the end cap. The tactical button allows the light to stay on as long as you’re holding the button and turns off as soon as you release. This eliminates the need to cycle through the mode before turning off the light. There may be situation where you need a quick hit of light at maximum lumens to disorient an intruder.

    Powering on the light using the standard side power button and it defaults to low. Subsequent presses go to medium, high & then off. There is no memory function and no option to press and hold the power button to turn off the light, so you have to cycle through the light modes to turn it off.

    The tactical button on the back is dual functioned. A shallow press & hold provides you maximum brightness, more than when in high mode. This is really meant for short bursts as it does drain power quickly and the flashlight gets warm. The second function is if you press all the way down and hold the button down (you can hear a defined click), this will enable a very disorienting strobe at Turbo brightness. Releasing the button at any point turns off the light.

    During the use of the tactical button and enabling Turbo mode, the light flashed a couple times and then turned off and would not turn back on. The side button wouldn’t function as well. I needed to unscrew the endcap and screw back on for the light to start working again. I original thought it was because the battery wasn’t charged, so I charged up the flashlight (side power button pulses white when charging and turns off when complete). After it was fully charged, I was able to get Turbo mode again. But again, after a couple uses (just a few seconds total), I noticed that the side power button LED was flashing red. According to the manual, this means that the battery is low. Not sure how that happened as I just charged the battery moments earlier. I removed the battery and placed it into my 18650 charger and found that the mR (milliohms of resistance) was at 107mR, which from my research, is very high and anything over 100 fully charged should be replaced. After running a full Nor Test on the battery, it is only capable of achieving 3.54V for a 3.7V battery which is why the flashlight indicates a problem with the battery. So, it looks like the included battery was not up to the quality of the flashlight itself. Unfortunately, this flashlight required an 18650 battery with a button top vs the bulk 18650 batteries I have, so I won’t be able to get a lot of Turbo mode brightness out of the flashlight. It does come with a spacer to allow you to use 2 x CR123A batteries, but this is not something most people would have available at home. A more common 3 x AAA adapter like most flashlights provide would have been better.

    I did find a couple 18650 batteries I got from Amazon that were rated as 3600mAh but had a flat top. I DIY’d the battery with a small round magnet that acted like a button. This allowed the flashlight to actually function, but unfortunately, either the DIY caused too much of a voltage loss or the flashlight just needs a specific battery to be used, but the Turbo mode was just as bright as the High mode, so it doesn’t hit the rated 2500lm.

    From the testing I was able to do before the battery errored out and with the DIY battery, I was able to test the different modes. Turning on the light using the side power button, it defaults to Low mode, Med, High & then off.

    The light pattern is it creates has a bright hotspot in the center with a light ring around the hotspot when up close. The hotspot is slightly malformed and not perfectly circular as I’d expect. The edges of the light ring also have notches as the flashlight housing as a mild striking bezel around the lens. Normally it’s a bit more aggressive, but this will work to protect the lens on drops and striking. Further away, the light almost turns into a flood providing a soft light that covers a lot of area.

    Switching modes provides gradual increase and not too abrupt. The colour temp of the light is yellowish but has a greenish tint to it, which is a bit weird. Medium still has a slight yellowish/greenish tint but has a brighter hotspot. On High, the center hotspot is yellowish/white, with a yellowish/greenish ring around the hotspot and the outer ring is cold-white, which is what you’d expect a cold white temp for the entire light pattern from an LED flashlight.

    Overall, a very good looking flashlight with a durable build. Good light output and convenient tactical button cap. Unfortunately, the light colour temp was a bit off-putting as I normally don’t see a greenish tint in any of my flashlight output. But the major item was the defective button top battery it came with. Button tops are less common than the bulk flat top batteries, which I have plenty of, but the flashlight is not designed to support these battery types, so specific batteries are needed. Or, 2 x CR123A batteries could have been used in the included spacer adapter, but these aren’t common to have in a household. A very easy way to make it compatible with any battery type is to have had a button or spring on the flashlight side and this would have made it universal. And, at the time of this review, a price of $109.99 plus a 15% off coupon is available, I would have expected more. It doesn’t matter how beautiful something looks if you can’t make it work properly out of the box. Definitely something HOTO needs to improve on. Would I buy this light again? My response would be no, I’d look for a much better light at this price.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Durable, Quality Build/Design, Defective Button Top Battery Made the Light Unusable Out of the Box
    Reviewed in Canada on June 5, 2024
    The flashlight comes with a USB-C charging cable, CR123A spacer tube, 1 x 18650 Li-Ion battery with a button top & a user manual.

    High quality building using a durable all-aluminum design that looks very nice. It measures approx. 15cm (long) x 3.4cm (head diameter) x 2.8cm (body diameter) and weighs 184g with the battery and 135g without making it fairly compact and light

    Strong removable belt clip that includes a rubber/silicone protective piece, so the clip doesn’t scrape on any hard surfaces when attached/removed.

    The end cap comes off and shows the dual O-rings to keep the light water resistant (it’s rated as IP68 waterproof). I found I would misalign the threads a lot when trying to screw the cap back on. I think it may be from the very fine threads and the double O-rings. I would have preferred larger threads as it would prevent misaligning and possibly screwing up the threads.

    The product description indicates that the light is zoomable, but I can confirm it is not. It uses a single LED module centered under what feels like a glass lens.

    There are 2 power on modes, button on the side or the quick press tactical button on the end cap. The tactical button allows the light to stay on as long as you’re holding the button and turns off as soon as you release. This eliminates the need to cycle through the mode before turning off the light. There may be situation where you need a quick hit of light at maximum lumens to disorient an intruder.

    Powering on the light using the standard side power button and it defaults to low. Subsequent presses go to medium, high & then off. There is no memory function and no option to press and hold the power button to turn off the light, so you have to cycle through the light modes to turn it off.

    The tactical button on the back is dual functioned. A shallow press & hold provides you maximum brightness, more than when in high mode. This is really meant for short bursts as it does drain power quickly and the flashlight gets warm. The second function is if you press all the way down and hold the button down (you can hear a defined click), this will enable a very disorienting strobe at Turbo brightness. Releasing the button at any point turns off the light.

    During the use of the tactical button and enabling Turbo mode, the light flashed a couple times and then turned off and would not turn back on. The side button wouldn’t function as well. I needed to unscrew the endcap and screw back on for the light to start working again. I original thought it was because the battery wasn’t charged, so I charged up the flashlight (side power button pulses white when charging and turns off when complete). After it was fully charged, I was able to get Turbo mode again. But again, after a couple uses (just a few seconds total), I noticed that the side power button LED was flashing red. According to the manual, this means that the battery is low. Not sure how that happened as I just charged the battery moments earlier. I removed the battery and placed it into my 18650 charger and found that the mR (milliohms of resistance) was at 107mR, which from my research, is very high and anything over 100 fully charged should be replaced. After running a full Nor Test on the battery, it is only capable of achieving 3.54V for a 3.7V battery which is why the flashlight indicates a problem with the battery. So, it looks like the included battery was not up to the quality of the flashlight itself. Unfortunately, this flashlight required an 18650 battery with a button top vs the bulk 18650 batteries I have, so I won’t be able to get a lot of Turbo mode brightness out of the flashlight. It does come with a spacer to allow you to use 2 x CR123A batteries, but this is not something most people would have available at home. A more common 3 x AAA adapter like most flashlights provide would have been better.

    I did find a couple 18650 batteries I got from Amazon that were rated as 3600mAh but had a flat top. I DIY’d the battery with a small round magnet that acted like a button. This allowed the flashlight to actually function, but unfortunately, either the DIY caused too much of a voltage loss or the flashlight just needs a specific battery to be used, but the Turbo mode was just as bright as the High mode, so it doesn’t hit the rated 2500lm.

    From the testing I was able to do before the battery errored out and with the DIY battery, I was able to test the different modes. Turning on the light using the side power button, it defaults to Low mode, Med, High & then off.

    The light pattern is it creates has a bright hotspot in the center with a light ring around the hotspot when up close. The hotspot is slightly malformed and not perfectly circular as I’d expect. The edges of the light ring also have notches as the flashlight housing as a mild striking bezel around the lens. Normally it’s a bit more aggressive, but this will work to protect the lens on drops and striking. Further away, the light almost turns into a flood providing a soft light that covers a lot of area.

    Switching modes provides gradual increase and not too abrupt. The colour temp of the light is yellowish but has a greenish tint to it, which is a bit weird. Medium still has a slight yellowish/greenish tint but has a brighter hotspot. On High, the center hotspot is yellowish/white, with a yellowish/greenish ring around the hotspot and the outer ring is cold-white, which is what you’d expect a cold white temp for the entire light pattern from an LED flashlight.

    Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
    Als Hundehalter gehören Taschenlampen zu unserem Alltag. Morgens und Abends sind sie im Einsatz, dabei sollten sie einfach zu handhaben sein , robust und wetterunempfindlich. Eine Fokussierung ist überflüssig. Die Taschenlampe von HOTO , im eher edlen als taktischen, silbernen Design haben wir jetzt mehrere Wochen im Einsatz. Im Großen und Ganzen bin ich damit zufrieden auch wenn ich eine Bedienung mit nur einer Taste bevorzugen würde. Die verschiedenen Leuchtstärken sind nützlich, den Unterschied kann man auf den Bildern sehen. Aber in der stärksten Stufe wird die Lampe auch sehr schnell warm. Die Möglichkeit auch Batterien nutzen zu können ist lobenswert.
    Die Preispolitik ist jedoch verwirrend, es gibt große Unterschiede innerhalb weniger Wochen, im direkten Vergleich zu meinen anderen Taschenlampen wie z.B. Olight , scheint der Preis von 99,- € ( Stand Sept. 24 ) aber etwas zu hoch.
