Which RovyVon Aurora is best? Six compared
I first started using LED flashlights nearly 15 years ago when the technology was new, have since acquired a diverse and coveted collection. Now, as prices have come way down and the LED technology has matured, stunning lights like the Aurora series can be had found with features that used to be reserved only for $100+ torches. If you are already here, you likely know that RovyVonโs small A series lights are terrific. However, the differences between models may be mystifying at first. Letโs break down any confusion. Weโll talk about common features, differences, and what I recommend: WHAT KEY FEATURES DO ALL OF THE ROVYVON AURORAโS SHARE? BATTERY: A couple of years ago, RovyVon upgraded to a longer lasting 330mAH battery. Thus, almost all models currently available have it. Look for the round on/off switch and not the older vertical design. MEMORY FOR YOUR FAVORITE INTENSITY SETTING: Letโs clear up any confusion. Double click to turn on the light. Then click through to find your desired default intensity. Leave on for three minutes. Turn off light. Viola! Itโs set. Note that the highest lumens intensity is extraordinary for a torch of this size but can only be obtained by keeping your finger down on the button. For good reason this blindingly bright setting can only be used for 30 seconds and not preset. SIDELIGHTS: This is a unique and cool RovyVon feature. The lights will come on with a triple click. Click again to cycle through brightness, blinking, etc. These lights come on just below the on/off switch and if unaware can be really a shock to the eyes. Keep your finger over them as you naturally would when typically turning on the flashlight. Depending on model, your third sidelight setting will either be a UV feature to make the light really glow beautifully in in the dark for many hours, or a red light version. However, hereโs what Iโve learned re the UV advantages: On almost all of the A series models, UV wonโt do any counterfeit bill or crime detection. If you need that get the A8UV. However, despite the similar physical look of this model you will give up the glow (GITD) ability. The red color in some models is more useful than Iโd figured and can be used blinking, or not. The other models with UV instead of red do make the glow more quickly intense. However, you do not need this feature at all to ensure your light will glow beautifully, either short term or overnight. LUMENS: Plenty! Donโt worry about the numbers. All are exceedingly bright, whether the emitter is cooler XP-G3 CREE or warmer NICHIA 219. Whatโs most important to so-called pros like me is the lowest low setting, also referred to as โfireflyโ or โmoonlight.โ All current models will go down to either 2 or 3 lumens. The difference between 2 and 3 is not noticeable in real world use. Thatโs not as low as youโd think in the middle of the night. (More about this later.) DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MODELS: Very little indeed. At the time of this review, the $27 versions with GITD can still be found in either Nichia with red sidelight option, or Cree without the red sidelights. A tremendous value! (As is $38 for lights of this caliber.) A5 or A5X: Great! These can be found as low as $27 when the pricing is best. Same model, whether marketed as โX โor not. A8UV or A8U: Again, same light. This is the one that DOES NOT GLOW. But it has genuine UV counterfeit detection. The other models marked U or UV do not. A7X: It glows blue instead of green. Keep in mind blue looks cool but is not quite as bright. NICHIA OR NOT? With most having a free returns policy, you may want to pick up both the Cree and Nichia versions of the light you are interested in, if offered. As a pro photog, I like warmer tones yet these are not necessarily more accurate. You do get more perceived contrast with Nichia. And, again, in real world use donโt be dissuaded by 450 lumens vs. 650. That means little as you actually use your torch. I love these little gems so much I own both Nichia and Cree versions. DO YOU NEED A FLASHLIGHT THAT WILL โTAILSTANDโ ? This is an area of needed improvement. You can technically get these to tail stand so they work like a candle. However, not with the clip on, and not easily. Iโm planning to glue a small round magnetized disc on the bottom so my Auroraโs will now easily stand up. The Auroras are unusual in having the sidelights, so they can work like a lamp with the light oriented face down, but not at the lowest moonlight setting I covet late night. IS THE โLOWโ AT 2-3 LUMENS LOW ENOUGH? No. I hope the good folks at RovyVon will adjust this down to .5 lumens like several competing brands like OLIGHT and EAGTAC. Is it a deal killer? Not for most people. But in the middle of the night 2-3 lumens actually is jarringly bright. Perfect is .5 lumens. Fingers crossed for an Aurora improvement to make a near perfect light even better. SHOULD YOU BUY ONE? Absolutely! These are the greatest and although I prefer the green glow, the blue is uniquely beatiful and is plenty easy to find in the dark. I highly recommend this series of flashlight.Much tinier than you may expect and truly just a bit bigger than a AA battery. All recent models fully charge in 90 minutes. All are profoundly excellent for the money with a better than average two year warranty, too. If this is your first LED flashlight prepare to be blown away by the brightness .If you are like many torch-heads like me, your RovyVon become a bright new โgateway drugโ to starting an awesome new flashlight collecting hobby.

I'm blind and I'm broke after buying this flashlight-- but I'm happy I bought it!
This is not your average cheap dollar flashlight... This is a really professionally built, rugged flashlight, that glows in the dark! This is my second one, and I'm happy to spend the bucks on it. It's tough, it's small, it's bright, it's lightweight, the battery lasts forever, and it's well built, I could not be happier with this flashlight! It's also full of little options in how you control it, and they are well thought out options. It actually comes with-- and needs an instruction manual to operate! I currently own an Aurora A5, (dimmer version of this light), which I have had on my keyring or well over a year now, and it still works just as well as when it was new. I bought this Aurora A7 because it is slightly brighter than the A5, and I wanted something reliable for backpacking. I was a bit worried that the quality might have gone down between when I bought the A5, and this one, but nope, this is the same flashlight, just brighter. How bright you might ask? Don't look into it, you won't see anything for quite a while, it is the brightest flashlight I have seen in this size, it easily rivels larger lights! I can light trees up that are 50 to 75 feet away at night, and see clearly what is in them... About the only thing bad I can say about this flashlight is that if you leave it on for long periods of time, (over three minutes), you can start to feel it get slightly warm around the LED. Look at the photos-- the one of the curio cabinet hanging on the wall was taken in full daylight, in a very well lit room, with lots of windows around it and it still blew out the sensors on an iPhone 17 Pro Max due to brightness! The thing is made of glow in teh dark plastic of some sort, that does not break, and is very visible all night while backpacking. It also has built in side lights in it. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting a small very bright, long lasting, well made light for the keyring.

Just get it, 100% worth it!!
I am now on my fourth A7 from Rovyvon and have nothing but good things to say. The only reason Iโve had multiple is because I lost two of them due to my own dumb fault. The third one had the eyelet whole break after two years, so I contacted them asking about repairs, and they just sent me a new one, no questions asked!! Fantastic customer service! Itโs become integral to my daily personal, and work life. The brightness is stellar for a flashlight this size. Itโs even brighter than some larger lights Iโve used! If you will be using it as a constantly-on light, you might consider a larger model. But if you need it for short bursts of bright light to check on something, or a soft light when walking around at nighttime, this is the perfect light. It charges pretty quick, and can still be used when plugged in which is nice. One downside is that the metal tip can get pretty hot when youโre at the full 650 lumens for more than two minutes or so, but if you hold the plastic casing then thereโs no issue. The durability of the entire light is fantastic! There is only one weak point, and that is the eyelet hole at the bottom. If you use a key ring that is a bit too big, then it will eventually wear and break. But even using it wrong, it took a long time to break. In conclusion: Itโs a powerful, versatile light that can fit nicely on your person (belt loop for me) and be readily accessible for daily use. Plus, if it breaks, just email Rovyvon and they will help you out. 10/10

Excellent light; hard to chose which model to get
Iโve had this flashlight about a week, and I really like it. I went through a pretty extensive process of evaluation to decide which Rovyvon light I wanted, so I think itโs worth sharing what I found out. Rovyvon makes a lot of flavors of their Aurora series lights. There are a lot of different body materials (polycoarbonate, aluminum, stainless, titanium), and feature variations, and two different colors of the main LED, but they all break down into 3 sizes. The A_ series is about the same size as an AA battery if you discount the keyring loop on the tail, and it has a 130 mAh battery. The A_x series are the newer versions of the A_ series, and are slightly bigger. Theyโre about the same width as a chapstick, but about 1/4โ shorter than the chapstick, and have a 300 mAh battery. The A2_ series has a 600 mAh replaceable battery (donโt get too excited, itโs proprietary and costs like $30) and is more like the size of an 18650 battery. Weights vary depending on the body material. The polycarbonate A- series weight almost nothing. The bigger the battery, the brighter the main LED, and the longer it will last. All of them have a โturboโ mode that is super bright, but only stays super bright for about 2 minutes before it has to step down to a lower level to avoid overheating. (Rovyvon is very clear about this, and gives you the specs for both light levels.) The medium mode also steps down. For example, the A5x with the Cree LED in Turbo produces 650 lumens, but steps down to 130 lumens in a couple of minutes. The Nichia LED version of the same light goes from 450 L down to 90 L. What this means is, you can have a super bright flashlight for a minute or two, and a moderately bright flashlight for an hour or more. I tried 4 different polycarbonate models. I wanted a light that: - Is small and light enough to fit in my pocket without my noticing itโs there - is rechargeable or has a removable rechargeable battery - Doesnโt turn on in my pocket and drain the battery - Is bright and long lasting enough to hike a half hour on a dark road - Has a nice low-level light for when you want a bit of candlelight or moonlight in the room - Is bright enough on its turbo mode to scare away coyotes The A_ series are incredibly small and lightweight. Love that. Small battery, not so long-lasting. The Turbo modes were very bright but not stun-gun level. I found that the step-down light level was too low for me to walk around on rough terrain in the dark. It was borderline, though. If youโre young and have good vision, they may be plenty bright. But that made me go to the A_x series. The A5x with Nichia LED was bright enough in Turbo and step-down, and it can last 90 mins (according to Rovyvon. I havenโt tested that.) I also like that it has 4 light levels (A_ series only has three). Thereโs a pretty low Moonlight mode. The warmer LED Color and high CRI of the Nichia LED seems to give a little better definition to objects in the dark, which makes up for it not being as bright as the CREE version. Then thereโs the question of all the versions and their different options. I wanted the side light, so that meant choosing a polycarbonate body. I liked the idea of glow-in-the-dark, so I checked out the green (A5 and A5x) and the blue (A7). While I loved the blue when it was glowing brightly, it doesnโt glow nearly as bright as the green. More important, after theyโve been discharging for a while and the glow is just visible in the dark, I canโt tell the difference between blue and green color. So the green seemed a better choice to me. They also offer different colors of side lights. The white-and-red versions have one or two white LEDโs, and a red LED that can either be on steadily or flash. Thereโs a white, red and blue option that flashes red/blue like a police car, too. Then thereโs the white-and-UV options. RovyVon says the the UV is mainly to charge up the glow-in-the-dark body. (You can use it to see funny stuff embedded in currency, too.) If charging up the body is the only thing you need UV for, then donโt bother getting the UV versions. The body charges up just fine by turning on the white side-lights for about two minutes; that enough to make it glow all night. (I stick the whole flashlight in an empty cookie-wrapper thatโs made of a reflective plastic inside, that seems to charge it even better.) The A_x series has two brightness levels for the side white LEDs. I selected a white and red option (A5x), which has a red thatโs good enough to read small things without spoiling my night vision. The other light levels are all good as explained above. It fits in the 5th pocket of my jeans, and even if itโs in the main pocket, it doensโt seem to get beaten up by my keys, pocketknife, etc. It holds a charge well. It appears to be well-made, but only time will tell about that. If you only need a light now and then, the little A_ series might be just the thing, but I think theyโre starting to get harder to find. The A_x series packs a lot more brightness, duration, and a wider range of features for only a tiny increase in size (the A_x is actually a little easier to hold in your hand, too, and easier to clip onto the brim of your cap because the clip is longer.) I have not tried the A2_ series, but the size and weight specs seem like it would not disappear in your pocket quite as readily.

Best RovyVon Aurora Light Yet!
This is my favorite aurora light yet. I own 4 (A9Cu, A1, A4Ti, A7) and they are all great lights. The newer version has a larger battery which i greatly appreciate since that was the one downside of the older versions. I like the new button design and the controls are easy to use. This light has so many useful functions if you were to purchase only one Aurora i definitely recommend the A7 with UV light. It is ultra lightweight, super bright, and very handy! I use mine all the time as a headlight by clipping it onto my hat. It is so lightweight you can barely feel it and has more than enough brightness to see what you need to. The main light has a great beam pattern and has a great spot light that shines far. I usually use mine on medium or high to take my dog outside at night and it is more than enough light to see. On turbo i can see my horses in the field 50 yards away. It also has 2 led flood lights in the center of the light and the body of the A7 diffuses the light so they make great flood lights to read maps or find things in the car at night. If that wasnt enough it also has a UV light that can see stains on carpet or sheets and would be very useful (but probably scary) to use at hotels. The UV light also makes the body of the flashlight glow blue which is a neat feature. Also on a side note i read one review that said he left his light fully charged in a drawer and came back 2 months later and it was completely dead. That concerned me because like i said i own 4 and at least 2 stay in the drawer all the time. After reading that i tried my other Aurora's that had been left in the drawer for over a year and they still shined bright. Im sure they lost some power because all lithium ion batteries slowly discharge over time but mine still worked over a year after charging them. To sum it up if you want an Aurora the A7 with UV is the best one to get. I have a titanium version, a copper version, and a plastic verison and i definitely recommend the plastic A7 because it is less than half the weight of the metal versions. With a small flashlight like this weight matters when in your pocket or clipped to your hat or clipped to your keys. Bottom line...Buy the Aurora A7 UV. You wont regret it.

Comprehensive Review Comparison
UPDATE 2.0 So if you read my review below you will notice several ways that I said these lights could improve. And Im super impressed the generation 4 version of this light did indeed improve serval of those things! I recently bought the gen 4 green A5...but figured rather than leaving a review on that page id update this review since its so comprehensive and all the Gen 4 lights have the same enhancements. To clarify the first review was comparing the Gen 1 version of the light to the Gen 3. There were several flaws that made the lights stink. However they fixed some of those on the Gen 4 so here are my thoughts. Here is the review in the context of the previous review focusing on differences and improvements: On 1 Size: Nothingโฆits the exact same On 2 Clip : They fixed the clip. The arms of the clip do โseemโ to reach around the flashlight a little tighter now. (though we are talking in millimeters here so its hard to tell) Further more they made it so it clips onto a hat easier and added a magnet as well which is kind of neat. Though it does stick to my keys/kife and other things a little in my pocket so it can be slightly off putting at times. Suggested improvement: Though the magnet is sweet they could possibly include a magnet and non magnet version of the hat clip since that is not something i want to remove just avoid the magnet. Options can be nice. Also it could maybe be even a little tighter so it reaaaaalllly holds onto the flashlight. On 3 Cap: They fixed the tail cap!!!!!!!! Oh my goodness this was by far the biggest most negative aspect of the gen 3. That stupid rubber thing constantly popped off and tore and im careful with my stuff! As i mentioned it was on a curve. Not only did they switch the plug to USB C which lets the rubber hold on betterโฆbut they also created an indent for the plug area so the rubber can sit on a flat surface! (I made a whole reverse pyramid analogy before and im so happy they listened.) I used to have to rubber band the stupid thing on to keep it from being torn off. I havenโt had to do that even once on the gen 4. Further more they also were nice enough to begin including โreplacementโ rubber caps in the box just incase it does tear off which didnt come with any of the older models i ordered in the past. Major points!! Suggested improvement: Only way to make it better at this point is to give the bottom most part of the rubber a sort of ridge so it really POPS into place. That or induction charging but that seems too expensive and upgrade. (maybe on the Gen 7 :D ) On 4 - Modes: So they still havenโt fixed this. Medium AND high beams cant BOTH step down to the EXACT same level otherwise its pointless. This is the only critique that didnt get fixed. The only reason i can possibly see for doing that is so that the specs โlookโ more impressive. Id rather have a more honest light where the medium mode was less impressive but consistent than 2 modes which amount to the same thing. 5 New Tailcap: This is interesting. These lights are indeed light enough that the tail cap does actually work! Seems like it might break if you try to pop it on and off repeatedly like i did when i was testing itโฆgetting looser every timeโฆbut otherwise seems cool. Soooooโฆ.Ive decided to upgrade this review from 2 to 4 stars. This really is becoming the prefect EDC flashlight. Not quite "the one light to rule them all" just yet but its getting there. Making the rubber plug hole even tighter is key for EDC but i love that they fixed that. And adding magnet stuff and improving the hat clip doest give it more function so i love that they are in the right headspace. Honestly the hat clip was what started me on this company over the other mini EDC lights out there so please keep improving it. Here are a few other thoughts ive had and would love to see if they are willing. At least putting it on their idea board. A) Side lights on the A5/A7 vs the A6/A8. So for those who dont know the 5&7 are the โopaqueโ lights that glow in the dark and the 6&8 are the clear ones. Both versions have pros and cons but having purchased several RVโs now here are my thoughts. Id love to see these lights customizable. They do have many combinations already which does imply that that sort of thing is an easy fix in the factory stage. So why not make it so people can choose which combo of 3 lights you have. Like maybe all white side lights? Or an RBG? For me personallyโฆthe one i really want is the A6 or A8 to have a UV - Red - UV. With 3 clicks going to one and 4 clicks going to the other. Here is why. On those clear versions the โwhiteโ side lights really arenโt that useful. The white sidelights really work best on the opaque bodies because the light diffuses turning the entire thing into a mini lantern and charging the G.I.T.D body at the same time. But on the clear body its really just another slightly less amazing light that really doesnt flood at all. Red however is still nice for night vision/star gazing so being able to go directly to it as its own setting is key. As for UV that is where the clear body really shines over the opaque A5/A7. Because the waves arenโt blocked you can actually use the UV light for dollar bills, spotting filth for travelers, spotting scorpions, disinfecting surfaces etc. However it really needs a little more oomph. Dedicated uv lights often have multiple bulbs because the light itself is dim by nature. I live in a place where there are many scorpions but the ONE uv bulb isnโt quite bright enough when holding the light at waist height and scanning the ground. 2 UVโs and a RED would be sick. I havenโt purchased an A6 yet but would love to if/when i see that as an option. Id even settle for a triple UV making the A6/A8 a true dual light EDC flashlight. I have also seen knock offs of these lights with 4 side bulbs too which can give even more options! Just a final thought on ways to improve the side lights. B) Another possible improvement for the side lightsโฆis that they put that clear plastic bubble looking lens on top of the filament itself. See the nightcore keychain lights for more clarification. That could really help the spread of the side lights on the clear bodied versions. C) Third the orange peal reflector. They seem to be waffling back and forth on this one. Basically it comes down toโฆdo you want your beam to travel further or to spread the light out more? Personallyโฆi think the body should determine the answer. The A6/A8 need the orange peal reflector because their side lights suck at actually doing floodlight. (Unless they did the bubble lens thing mentioned above). However the A5/A7 should definitely have the smooth distance reflector since the side lights make the thing into a flooding side lantern. D) Lastly...like victorinox or other companies which sell replacement products or refills...RovyVon should make the selling of replacement products a thing. For exmaple: if i had an A8 but wanted to put an A6 glow in the dark plug cover on it i could buy one. Or maybe my plug cover just keeps getting lost or may hat clip is lost or i want to purchase a non magnetic hat clip. I think it would be pretty clever to sell those things separately as well. Since we are talking function here odds are the price might go up for any of these improvements. But then Im willing to pay that price for a light that can do it all and still fit on my keys. Im sure others will agree especially since there are cheaper RVโs you can buy if thats your main concern. Hopefully RovyVon continues to take advice and improve their product. I love companies like this that do that sort of thing. Thanks again for all your hard efforts. โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ Comprehensive Review Comparison UPDATE!: So the newer lights have a new button shape/design and a new rubber stopper hole. And they both suck! Im convinced rovy von made them worse to get the light to break so you have to buy a new one. Like a product having no defects so return customers were sparse. The rubber thing that holds the charge port closed was just gone one day. Im super gentle with it too. But it always poped itself open. Even worse than that the button jammed after like its 10th use or so. All i did was turn on the black light and then turn it off. And the thing got fully jammed now it won't turn on at all unless i push down on the button super hard. Sadly that makes accessing the 3 and 4 press button functions next to impossible to access. For a while i couldn't even turn the thing off i just had to let the battery die. I am so disappointed. This is the classic "dont fix what isn't broken" scenario. None of my older model rovy vons had this problem and i was pretty harsh on those cheaper ones. So this is my second rovyvon light. So some of this review will be comparative. My first light was the gen1 aluminum A3 that only had 130mAh battery. 1. Is size & battery. Pro: 330mAh is awesome. Almost 3x what i had before. NOW this light is more legit. Before it died too fast to be a true EDC survival light. Now this one is "close". (Ill share how to improve at the end of the review.) Con: It got fatter! The old light was closer to .56" and ALL of the newer lights of this size are .61" (im ignoring length because this isnt the upgraded A3 or A3 pro.) This extra girth might be unavoidable to to the extra mAh...however it is a slight bummer as the new light doesnt fit as well in my WAZOO survial belt. 2. The clip Con Only: So they got fatter but the clips arent longer to compensate! They didnt improve how long the grip clamp part is ( I measured.) Though they did improve the clip to clothing part it seems. However The clip needs to wrap "most" of the way around. Honestly it only needs like 2mm to be perfect again. For a light this small and expensive I cant trust how well it clips on. On the old smaller light the clip held on so well it was almost hard to pull off which is great. So this is a HUGE oversight! 1/2 star off for this 3. The USB cover Con Only: So this is another huge minus for these newer lights. Im not sure why but they moved the usb port to the curved side of the light. And now its super loose and flimsy. Not sure if that has to do with the hole being on a curve now instead of a flat surface or what, but before it was wonderfully tight. In fact if the tab part ever broke off i would have to dig the cover out with a pin, which doesnt sound good but it is! This one however i barely scratch it and it falls out of the hole. If you cant do the trapezoid math thing then put it back on the flat side. A full star off for this. WORST PART OF THE LIGHT 4. The modes. Pro: They added a moonlight mode. Combined with bigger battery pushes this light into the survival levels! (66hrs is sweet) Pro: The side functions are great! It allows for very diffuse light giving this more functions. Also I live in AZ half the time so scorpions are a real issue. So having a UV function is super nice. Con: The Lie! So it states the light modes are 3Lm/66hr, 25Lm/10h,r 400Lm/150min, & 650/75min. LIARS! In super hidden writing it states that the light steps down to 100Lm after it gets "too hot". So in truth its a 440/650Lm light for 2 min Then its actually a 100Lm light for that 90-150 min range. I hate deception. However that is closish to an ideal range. More thoughts below. 1/2 star off for this So 2 stars but soooo close to a full 5. So as a lover of O-light, nightcore, and luminotop how does Rovyvon stack up? In truth they are probably the closest at mastering a true keychain edc survival flashlight. (This includes those brands mentioned as they mostly focus on the larger lights and neglect innovations in the keychain realm). So Rovyvon is just short on a few points. ((Im adding this part because Rovyvon seems to be the type of company that is always trying to improve which I appreciate! So hoping they read this part and take it to their idea boards )) What constitutes a true EDC light for me is: Size, Waterproof, Length and Lumens of the light. Size: This is where they are the closest. Even if they cant shrink it back down as long as they fix the clip c-clamp length and make it hold to the light tighter then they are golden. A few mm on each side would be enough. Better to be hard to take on and off than for it to pop off easily. Waterproof: The biggest con of these lights is hands down the "lack" of waterproofness. EDC means I have this flashlight with me everywhere I go. That includes unexpected circumstances like getting caught in the rain, sweat, dirt, accidently dropping it in the toilet or sending it through the wash, etc. If i have it on me all the time and not just in my camping/hunting bag then all those things become far more likely. The best fix would be for them to find a cheap induction system to incorporate into the lights and seal the whole thing shut. Barring that expensive track they need to devote more time into the usb plug. It needs to be tighter and maybe also have a secondary ridge that "pop"s into a hidden groove on the light or something. Heck they could even include a custom tight rubber band you strap over the flimsy cover in the mean time and it would be better than it is now. The best comparable light I can think is the nitecore thumb 85Lm. It has a similar plug system but has the extra ridge that really pops it into place. Even if it uses more real-estate on the light it would be worth it for the higher peace of mind. Function should always take precedence over look. Lumens and Time: So this fix is actually pretty easy. Leave moonlight, low, and high exactly as they are, including the temporary tactical high push and hold function for defense reasons thing it has. All they have to do is change the Medium. After all what is the point in having TWO modes that both step down. Might as well not even have one. Sooooo leave the turbo as is in its fancy mega bright for a short time realm and change the medium. The perfect medium light to me is in the 120-150 lumen range...so its already close! That range isnt that hot either so there is no reason it should step down. Thats the other big thing, it has to STAY at 150 lumens for the full 90min. If they could make it 150Lm/90min combined with how the other modes are set up then they'll have fully mastered this category. The only other thing I can think of is they need to include the orange peal reflector on all their lights not just the newer A3 pros. This light has good throw but could use that extra scattering of light as the beam is a little narrow. Not a huge issue since it has the side lights for room light up but it would be nice to have both.

This Is The Only Flashlight I Carry
I have several RovyVon A5 G4 flashlights and use them for daily living but rely on them when hiking. Pros : โข The flashlight is compact, holds a reasonable charge, and works for several hours between charges. They're the same size and weight as a AA battery, so carrying several on long hikes between city "resupply" stops isn't burdensome. โข The clip on magnet is perfect. It holds the flashlight tightly. The magnet is sufficiently powerful and holds the flashlight on horizonal and vertical surfaces, securely. โข The single button efficiently cycles through the available lighting options. โข In my experience, the flashlight does not overheat. โข While hiking, I use the UV LED to quickly charge the flashlight's body and other GITD objects, like peg markers, tent door zipper pulls, etc. Cons : โข The magnetic "end cap" is an afterthought. A joke, even. The cap and magnet snap on to the key ring grommet and might remain there for all of 15 minutes. Maybe. If a magnetic end cap is important to you, secure the clip with a dab of super glue. Recommendations : โข I would like to purchase a RoxyVon flashlight offering UVA, UVB, and UVC LED's. The UVB and UVC might be useful for emergency water sterilization, eg, if the usual method fails or is lost. I love this flashlight and have distributed them throughout the house, cars, hiking gear, etc.

High performance, Well made and implemented light.
I own quite a few lights that I use for work. Ive owned many over the years. Until recently I never even thought to own such a small "keychain" flashlight as they were of little use other than to light up a small keyway. As LED & battery technology has made such great progess in recent years that has made this light a real practical and useful tool. 650 lumens is a lot of light in such a small package so there's plenty of output if you need it. Theres 4 selectable levels for the front led. The lowest is more like what you'd expect from an older keychain light. Levels 2 and 3 are well spaced. Level 2 is good if its very dark and you want a bit more light but don't want to be blinded. Levels 3 and 4 put out quite a bit of light for things like walking the dog or lighting a whole room. The beam is floody so its good for general area lighting. This is not a light "thrower". The light also has side lights with three leds. Two are for general lighing and are warm white and good for general close illumination for reading a trail map and such. These leds have 2 light levels and a blinky mode. They are also more battery friendly. the middle side led is a UV led which is primarily used to illuminate the glow in the dark body and store that light in the body of the light as either blue or green depending on the model. As with all glow in the dark objects, the intensity will fade over time. The uv light is cut down in intensity being inside the shell but it still casts a useable intensity. The user interface is well thought out and easy to use. I like the one press access to the brightest setting with a press hold. The light will go off after the hold is released. Two presses will bring you to the main front led modes with 4 levels of brightness from "moonlight" to 650 lumens. The light stays on in this mode at the selected brightness level until it is turned off with a press hold. Three presses brings you into the side LEDs for general area illumnation. A quick press brings you through the brightness levels and the blinky mode. Four presses lights up the UV led. A single quick press will turn this LED mode off. RovyVon makes many versions of this light to suit various tastes and uses. While the cost may seem a bit high for such a small unit, its variety of functions, versatility and quality are all there, it is a well thought out, well made, practical and useful unit in a very small package. There isn't any negative I can see with this light other than you may find yourself playing with it more than you expected. Its a fun toy as well as usefull tool. Good thing it has good battery life too ;)

Envio demasiado lento
la lampara es muy practica y muy potente, el inconveniente es que no viene con cable para cargar, pero no es un problema ya que en todas las casas se encuentra ese tipo de cable. el envio es demasiado lento el paquete duro como una semana sin moverse.

Excellent little torch!
This is a tiny powerhouse of a torch! Very bright main light with dimmable settings, side LEDs provide useful area lighting & the UV function is there if needed. To be honest, I'm not sure how effective this would be, but it does a superb job of "charging" the material in the body of the torch, which then glows quite brightly & for some time! The magnetised pen clip & end cap attachments both work well & are strong enough to keep the torch stuck on a metal surface. I would also like to compliment & recommend this seller. When the torch arrived the USB connection didn't seem that solid, there wasn't a firm click & it felt a bit loose. It charged OK, but I contacted them just to enquire if this was normal. After a very quick response & no further queries at all they sent me a brand new replacement that arrived the next day!! Absolutely stellar service & (sadly) not that common any more! A fantastic little torch & a highly recommended seller!! I couldn't ask for better than that. Thank you ๐

Amazing compact, light and fuctional.
This is a great little flashlight. I love the UI. Worrks like a dream. I wanted it specifically for its moonlight mode, so I can see where I am going when others are already asleep. I have also found that I use the momentary on high often when outside. This thing is light, compact and very functional. I have not used the side lights much yet, bey they are pretty good. The magnetic pocket clip is a great idea and I clip the light to my cap when running before sunrise. Thanx for an awesome product.
