Update (July 27, 2024): After writing my first review, HOTO reached out to offer a refund or full replacement without needing to return the original item! I opted to give it a second chance, since I really like the brightness, the features, the design, and just about everything else about this flashlight, and they claimed it was a quality control issue. It was a little sketchy that they asked for my name, phone number, & address over Amazon’s messages, which tells you specifically not to share that type of information. I wanted to give them a chance though, so I did anyways, but would have preferred they managed the replacement through Amazon’s services for security reasons. Either way, I tested the new identical flashlight, and the USB connection is much more secure and reliable. It seems like it was designed to be this way ;). New Review: Pretty great! Definitely the best on Amazon for its brightness and features. 1) Good brightness (and HOTO claims a legitimately likely Lumen rating, not 320,000,000 Lumens like most Amazon listings claim). The color is pure white in the center, but I will admit the fringes have a bit of a significant green tint, though I’m not sure how this compares to other flashlights. Definitely a minor thing for me. 2) USB-C (and it works this time) 3) Has actually well-thought-out UX / button controls :) Not dumb buttons/UX, like most cheap flashlights, which typically have one button that cycles through some strobe modes every time you want to turn it on/off, which can get very annoying (and is also not seizure safe). HOTO’s flashlight on the other hand has one main flashlight power button that cycles through solid [off → dim → medium brightness → full brightness→ off] and an additional “SOS”labeled button that cycles through [off → bright strobe → dim SOS flash]. I imagine the reason the SOS flash is dim is to save battery in that mode so it lasts longer. Seems safer to me that way? Maybe? even though it’s not as bright. Idk, I’ve never used that feature on a flashlight before, and I hope I never need to. The LED’s behind the power button also indicate useful information! Green when on (not sure if it changes color when lower battery). Pulsing red when charging & green when done. 4) Smart behavior when charging. To prevent overheating, but still allow some user functionality, it will only allow the dim flashlight mode + the bright strobe & SOS modes. (Disabling med & high brightness). 5) Adjustable focus! Smooth and firm sliding action to adjust the focus. No complaints! 6) Simple design. Nice pop of color on a sleek metal frame, and a perfectly hidden USB-C port! The clip on the back— ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I could take it or leave it lol. It’s fine, but takes up a lot of space for something that’s not removable. The flashlight could easily be 1.5” shorter if not for the clip, but also it looks nice and is functional so… maybe it’s worth it? (Bonus) 7) I don’t use the included diffuser, but it does work pretty well as a lantern in that mode! I don’t like being able to see the bright light source, it hurts my eyes. You can easily toss it and the flashlight will be great on its own. What could be improved? * USB-C PD for faster charging (65W, 30W or even 20W would be a great improvement!) Current charging rate is labeled as 5V 1A (aka 5A). Much slower than it needs to be for this type of battery. * Less tinting on the fringes of the beam. * It would be great to be able to power off directly from the dimer brightness settings (e.g. by pressing + holding the power button). If I’m using the low brightness setting, it’s because I don’t want full brightness! It sucks to have to cycle through the brightest setting just to turn it back off! Old Review: USB-C connector is spotty, but everything else is exactly what I was looking for on paper Love the design, brightness, & adjustable focus. Exactly what I was looking for in a flashlight: USB-C Rechargeable without removing the battery, ~1000 (real) lumens, adjustable focus, and no silly light modes/controls with the button, (like having to strobe the light before turning it off). Unfortunately, the USB-C connection is not secure, and I have to leave the flashlight with the cable in JuuUUUuUUsSSsttttt the right position with the cable torqued a tiny bit to charge reliably. Kinda defeats the purpose of using the all-so-universal USB-C if I have to fool around with the connection to make sure it charges every time. Read more

I LOVE this flashlight. So much so, that I bought several. I refuse to buy another flashlight from any other brand again. We drove up late at night to a campsite after work and it was PITCH BLACK. My husband had to back up the trailer/car into our site and I was able to stand there to guide my husband in with this flashlight that lit up the whole site. I usually don't like the darkness on my own, but this flashlight lit everything up so I knew where everything was. Read more
