- In this video, we compare the P70 flashlight (brightest flashlight in the world) to the Surefire g2x and Duracell flashlight.
Update! 3 years later the P70 is dead and in the trash. The surefire is still kicking and used everyday!

Three years later, the P70 no longer works and is in the trash. The Surefire is still kicking and used every day!
Best one for the price is the SD-5999
On a campsite that has a party at night, everyone using flashlights someone shouted I have the most powerful torch.. I went to my van and produced my XHP70 ..I won out of about 20 flashlights. The XHP70 will get a little hot after about 10 mins use on full power and it will drain the batteries, but it has a second Brightness mode and that works fine, I think it's "a good torch for the money". About £20 from ebay in the UK. Point it to the sky on full power and you have a Star Wars lightsaber ..May the force be with you.
What the hell is wrong with you dude! That XHP70 was WAY brighter than the other two! Are you said it was "Just a little brighter!? How about 3x as bright!!!!
Yeah, I think he has fallen for some confirmation bias there, I have a similar flashlight and it is really good IMO. It sure does pretty good bang-for-buck when you look at the price difference. Of course, the numbers are a joke (I've seen 1.000.000 lumens mentioned for a tiny flashlight with 3 AAA batteries...), but the sellers are nice enough to exaggerate wildly so no one can take the data seriously. I don't think any of the videos on eBay/Amazon/AliExpress etc, show 1, 2, or more of the product, they just VFX it or have a completely different searchlight. Same with Vehicle LED bars.
What a ballbag... I'll be jumping on aliexpress to buy one. Looks far better than your other two
And probably half the price. Surefire is nice but way to expensive and they have those special batteries, which cost way more than all 3 of those flashlights combined. Oh and you can't find them anywhere. I am surprised he didn't toss in his fleshlight.
get it on eBay £21,99
it's a brilliant torch I've just received it😎
@@thechitz4355, What's Fleshlight?
@@niteblaster1 Hello UK.
@@eddyvideostar
if you're after a good torch this is the one lol
The p70 smokes the other 2 you reviewed lol id buy one just on your review
I own the Garberiel Xhp 70 and the xhp 90 and it definitely outperforms those 2 others you compared it to...You're biased! I have own more expensive 🔦 and I can definitely tell you you get more than your money's worth with this flashlight.
Xhp90 or xhp90.2 isn't listed on the cree website. That isn't a cree product
Saw another video of the xhp70 and the guy just hold the Power button for a few seconds and it turned immediately off ✌🏼
Yep, just got mine today... and in fairness, I'm a woman and have a bit more patience than a good few men I've met in my life... well I figured that trick out in about a minute when cycling through the modes. And yes, this guy is super biased. He probably has some sort of endorsement from sure-fire. Personally, I've owned a nebo seven-z for fifteen years, the xhp 70 outperforms it hands down... but it is a cheaper product so only time will tell how it really preforms as fifteen years and still going is really hard to beat.
30-second intro? c u
Shoulda seen his old 3:49 into... hair pulling
LOL
this F intro is so freaking looooong dude, go straight to the point pls
Thank you very much .you doing a great review for this flashlight. I was too close to order it and after I see this review I know the correct information .you give everyone a great review and help full .thanks.
Hi, you can get the 123 batteries in Li-ion rechargeable batteries to replace the non-rechargeable 123 batteries. There are two advantages, they can be recharged and they charge to a max of 4.2v as opposed to the 3v in the regular 123 batteries. I use them in all my flashlights that use 123 batteries and the LEDs handle them just fine except they are MUCH brighter. I first tried them in my brinkman (plastic) surefire-ish flashlight with a 1200lm rated, one mode LED module from ebay. Then in used them in my surefire. The brinkman was considerably brighter, so I put the same LED module in my surefire and it works fantastic.
Much brighter = way less lifespan, most lights are overdriven from the factory to get good numbers so to overdrive them even more, is not sound use IMO. The increased power also generates more heat so the decay is more or less squared I believe. But, on the other hand, if you want a super bright light and don't need it to last very long, it is a way to go.
@@bennylloyd-willner9667 Well, works for me. So far so good and they still work. I put this down as an option, the option I use. You don't have to do this, but IMO, if it works, it works, plus they can be recharged.
@@BurntPlaydoh So far, the "easily frying" drivers are still working after many recharges and uses.
@@RonALampmanfair dinkum, I just wanted to raise the lifespan issue so anyone reading get as much info as possible to make a good individual decision.
@@BurntPlaydoh I'm just sharing my experience. Do as you wish.
Hi. I would lile to know more about the P70 flash light.
Which brand is it? And where can I but that one!
Thank you so much!
The one thing so many people over look with lights is washout. I have a very bright (1800 lumen) Olight but it's doesn't have a focus able beam. If the are no obstructions around its ok, it doesn't have as far off a throw but it's acceptable. When I'm in the woods, it's useless. It throws such a wide beam that it lights all the trees closest to me the brightest and I can't see anything beyond those first trees. I bought a small aa flashlight with focus able beam and i can direct the light between the trees close to me and it's way more useful. Repeat the test you did in the parking lot only go some where there are trees or bushes around or better yet, go where you have unlimited range. If you tried throwing light hundreds of yards you'd notice that cheap flashlight kicking the surefire's but
Can you hold the button to turn off? My version says it can turn off in any mode by holding it down.
Have you tried holding the button down for a couple of seconds to turn it off?
It's over 2 years since this video has been recorded but I just now received my XHP70 and it's half the size of the one in this video.
Extremely bright but I agree it is frustrating to go through all of the settings when turning it off. The product was probably resized in the last two Plus years. It us 6 1/2 " in closed position and 7"when extended.
if you long press 3 secs you wont need to go through the 5 modes and it will turn off instantly
Also think you may have the P50 not the P70...
Thank you for that I saw the same one KEPEAK , your vid has exposed them. I will say military don't use surefire, we use cheaper brands that have the same lighting. I was doing rounds @ the Grand Canyon village when some of my LEO buddies saw my light & thought it was surefire & began telling me he got his on sale for $200, & he asked to see mine. He light it and he notice it felt different & ask what brand. I told him Thorfire ( thurnight's budget version) & he asked how much I paid for it....$18😁 he was pissed cause well they were hard to tell apart. That was almost 7yrs ago & I've only had to replace the o-ring & the lens ( It was dark & I thought it was the switch) I was pressed so hard hard I broke the lens off. Wish they still made those lights, can't find them now....but there are better flashlights for less then half the cost. RUclips is full of them reviews.
What kind of batteries does this take the one that it came with did not work and had no markings on it
On my xhp-70 you can turn it off while in any mode by pushing and holding down the on/off button.
Do a review of the nitecore srt9. I think you will be pleased.
what is the name of all the flashlight if you dont mind
Appreciate it...
Used a flashlight as a hammer....I thought I had "good ideas"
All the ads I’ve seen say 120,000 lumens 😂
Hi guys, I need to buy a flashlight for farm use, I dont need a super powerful thing but powerfull enough, water resistent and rechargable, any advice ??
You can switch it of straight away i have the torch myself nothing like them other two
you don't have to cycle modes if the torch is on for more than a couple of minutes when turning off.
200,000 lumens claimed, but quality black metal, and mine is the size of the small one shown
on mobility scooters main beam, night & day difference though park, just a tenner.
as long as at lasts, does say it's P70 at the back and is new
On ebay it is called Garberiel xhp70. £13.99
How expensive is the surefire
i suspect you really ain't got a clue about lumens, what it is and how it's measured@
Ill be honest, we can be a bit lazy about it... but we actually have a lux meter and have done actual tests and calculations. But, its kind of like the weather. Theirs the temperature and then theirs the "real feel" temp. So at the end of the day, its about what "looks" brighter that the consumer cares more about anyhow. When you can take two similar spec'd flashlights and get radical variance in brightness, thats going to be the ultimate test.

Bought a YXQUA XHP70 3000 Lumen Flashlight on Amazon that has normal and micro USB ports but apparently BOTH these ports are covered. The manual literature enclosed along with the flashlight doesn’t instruct as to how the hell does one open these ports in order to plugin the charging cable.
Please if anyone here know how to, let me know.
Just hold the power button for 2 seconds
Both my Xhp90 and Xhp70 torches died. The Xhp90 internal wiring melted and even resoldering didn't work. The Xhp70 wouldn't charge and the led lights kept flashing on their own then wouldn't turn on at all. Cheaply made circuits. My 25 year old Maglite 3 cell upgraded with a Cree bulb is my go to. Reliable and solid.
most XHP flashlights are clones with crap drivers, the XHP90 isn't even a real Cree product
i spent a bit more money on a higher quality Convoy L6 and never saw this much output out of an XHP70 (but this one has a genuine one and drives it at it's rated power, even when the batteries get low)
I'm pretty sure you can hold in the power button to turn it off
thx
If you long press the off on button the light will turn off without running through all the modes
Im here from amazon after considering buying the xph70. The advertisement says it's 20,000 lumens. It's 40.99, after watching this. Can we trust anything from amazon ?
Thank you for telling the truth unlike most ppl in life I get ppl trinna sell stuff but still ide rather see facts and spend monie rather that see fake and spend monie
I search 5000 Lumen with zoom but this lamp have 3000 Lumes and zoom and seems Super bright Good for outdor i think for 13 € its mega cheap realy Good Deal.
I heard that before this p70 flashlight hype, someone got this for only 17-18 dollar!
You should get the wowtac a5 if you want 3000 lumens and smaller then that surefire for only $50
I have the ms 18 but I think the xhp 70 is a great flashlight aswel. It does throw out the light. Nothing like the ms 18 but it's still a great flashlight
A lot of comments saying the reviews are biased. But I've been reading comments ( here and on other videos, too), saying that it won't charge/turn on, and a lot of people returning them. I don't think I will buy it.
Trust me its worth buying i bought one and found out its because people forget to take the protective cover off the batteries
i think you press and hold the power button will shutoff the flashlight without go to difference mode
Lol, the one I saw today said it has 900,000 lumens. No joke, it's on Amazon. Lmao They are still peddling that thing off a year later. Aparently they gain about 70,000 lumens per month. By 2030 you could disintegrate the moon with it. That's a hell of a bargain, I'm gonna buy 2!
Has it crossed your mind that the bigger the flashlight is it can fit more batteries, meaning you can carry it along for longer time?
What they do is it's all the same people but when they get found out that it's not as bright as they say they make another website with a similar footprint so people buy it again
if you want a cheap but high quality flashlight from china you need to test the sofirn sp70.. this sp70 not regret to have.. at $40 on banggood with 5500lumen.
Go Young Don’t buy anything from China anymore
@@Hampshire87 why ?. they cheap but high in performance.. american made brand even $90 streamlight stinger cant beat the chinese $18 convoy c8 sst40 in brightness and throw..the difference of performance is so big till we can notice instantly..other american brand such as surefire also is the most will regret to buy because so underpower.. fenix and olight is high in performance but the price is bit high. the price for 1 olight m2r warrior pro 2000Lumen, you can get 5 convoy c8 sst40 with same lumen and more throwier lights..
Go Young don’t buy anything from China and of why support them
@@Hampshire87 yea if not buy from them so how is it if they the only one that have all high performance tool but with cheaper and affordable price compare to local made american light that ridiculously expensive but perform nothing.. no maglite or streamlight that is powerful as the cheap chinese light.. fenix and olight although american brand but the factory all in china but the price is overkill.. so what others than chinese made flashlight that you recommend that is high performance enough to satisfied the user ?.. you may try to lookout the 'astrolux ft03 xhp50' review, there is a lot of the review in youtube.. im dare to say although chinese light is cheap but no any streamlight variants that can perform like that chinese astrolux ft03.. try lookout the review. its not about support, it about fulfill the needs.
@@harisyoung4110 i doubt there is a flashlight made in america anymore
Boughten? :D
You said cheaper and brighter but don't buy this ? Why?
Xp70 , xp90 cheaper and more brighter than your little touches
Two days ago mines arrived and it wont charge at all
Sending it back in morning
If you still have it it isnt broken you just have to take the transparent protective cover off the batteries and youll have an amazing flashlight
Mines? How many did you buy??

@@mjyanimations1062 lol I know 😜
I just bought the Xhp70 for 25 dollar from china. Curious to check it out.
I love mine
Who’s here after watching that video on funnyhoodvidz
Xhp70 does good for the price but there are things you should consider before buying one.
1. Not flexible UI.
2. No mode memory.
3. Very low runtime even with two cells. Lol
4. Bulky.
5. Zoomies have limited vision arc when on spot mode.
6. Waterproofing issues.
7. Lack of safety features like LVP or thermal step down.
8. Zoomies are not efficient in focusing light.
9. Hit or miss when it comes to reliability.
10. Lack of overnight low modes.
With that said, xhp70 is not that bad, it can still serve as an indoor light if you need light in short periods of time. There are far better options out there from the budget brands if you don't want to spend much. For me, I pick flashlights that suits my needs and something I can really rely on when there's an emergency. I'm not a lumen freak, I only use enough lumens for me to see comfortably. 100 to 300 lumens is actually bright for most cases. 25 to 50 lumens enough to see your path. 5 to 20 lumens is good for overnight light when there are blackouts. In the end, it's not about which is the brightest or cheapest but about which one gets you home or gets you through the night. Lol
Regarding the 3. it is hard to put out a lot of light for a long time without really good batteries. I know the LED and circuitry may not be as efficient as a 3-4 times more expensive one, but it isn't that much different if using the same brightness IMO. The Imalent MS18 is pretty bright but you can't have it on the brightest setting for long (one minute I think before it needs to cool down), but it is still pretty pricey.
@@bennylloyd-willner9667 yes. It usually comes with crap batteries. Aside from battery capacity, the low mode is not low enough. A simple switching to low mode when moving around and only using turbo while scanning will significantly increase your runtime. My single cell light can survive an entire night without having to replace the battery even when I use them as an overnight light.
A little bit of upgrade on the quality doesn't always mean too expensive. You should check budget brands like convoy, sofirn or lumintop. 🙂🙂🙂
@@budgetlightph7814 thanks for the tip, but I'm actually very satisfied with my fake XHP70, even the batteries are decent. I'm I weird nerd so when I get my 3D printer I'll try to create my own 50-100 W headlamp/worklight with Android app control 🤪😁
Just checked same company selling xhp70 and xhp90 with 1000000lms! 15.99 &16.99!
Be aware of false claims, chinese sellers lie.
for example "Our $2.00 keychain flashlight is 6 times brighter than the sun"
definitely fake. they like to exaggerate
I actually like such figures, it is so obviously false so it is easy to discard.
ITS HUGE ITS GREAT 4 SELF DEFENCE BUY IT KEEP IT IN YOUR CAR
rhank you so much brother you saved me so much money i knew these people where not telling the truth lol also i buy tuff off of ebay all the time so ive been ripped off a few times lol anyways thansk again and finnaly thers someone who is telling the truth and isnt working with them to make money lol
This is not the truth man. These lights are no joke. All you have to do it buy the light for $35. And buy separate batteries for $10.
That’s roughly $50 for a good and very high quality flashlight.
Most American lights with this amount of light easily charge $120-150, for the SAME thing.
Check the Coast xp11r best light I’ve ever bought
I have 7 h and the battery is still not full
( First charge ). Xhp 90,2
loosen the tailcap a few turns then re-tighten it will reset the board.otherwise try some new batteries
This is a surefire ad
Had gotten mine in the mail and it wont even charge smh
Mine doesn't have batteries included, maybe you don't either 😂
If you still have it it isnt broken you just have to take the transparent protective cover off the batteries and youll have an amazing flashlight
The P70 does seem to be sold under many different names, but the reviews I've read really seem to indicate a poorly made flashlight that is not all that reliable. It is certainly brighter than the Surefire and Duracell though - although far from being the most powerful in the world... It is not 9000 lumens either. From the looks of it, I'm guessing anywhere between 1000-2000. I have both 1000 and 2000 lument flashlights and the difference between 1000 and 2000 lumens is not as big as you would imagine. I believe the XHP70 LED can produce up to 2000, but never 9000. A little side note about the Costco Duracells, they are great when you fist turn them on, but keep it on and the brightness is automatically reduced in increments (you can visibly see it change). Same with the 3 pack of Duracell headlamps Costco sold this year. Very disapointing to be honest.
and where did you get your information or is that just your professional opinion? because the xhp70.2 is capable of 4292 lm
29W 181lm/w so well over 4 thousand (4292 lm) ,if your light is that dim buy some decent batteries some that can handle the 30 watts this led requires, maybe research before you blab your professional opinion and buy some batteries,psst youre looking kinda stupid right now shhhh Adam
oh and BTW i own em all from 10$ to 600$ and quality is no less than any other chinese light which is about all nowadays,you dont own the light but bash it why what you so proud of? you must be kin to this guy lmao
@@adamnchains Adam those specs are Correct for a genuine Cree xhp70.2 but the chip in that lite, while called a xhp70.2, is Not a cree nor do the sellers claim it to be cree anywhere.. thatssaid, its brite for sure though not quite the equal of the real thing...definitely blows both the little lites off the map though.
Allain, I liked the style Costco had before these Duracell's. Don't remember the brand name but seemed to work better. Not a fan of them getting dimmer like that, and they eat batteries. Ni-Cads save money but the voltage is lower, and don't think the light warrants the expense of li-pos.
They are on ebay! Saying 20000lm.
Actually you just long-press the switch/button & 🔦 immediately turns off.
Thats like rech.. bateries . 3000mah but its only 280 mah or 300. They like to add zeros . Zeros cost zero to add 🤣
Probably the longest intro.. almost turned it off but good review
I personally Prefer bigger flashlights They Are more durable Brighter have Bigger batteries with more power and Last longer Cant get lost Ez And can Be used As A weapon Little flashlights just don't feel natural and Don't give you that secure feeling and There is nothing nice looking about them
I don't get your point. If you think it's bad then why not show the comparison with the other two in the dark?
I do show all 3 flash lights in the video.
Probably the most useless flashlight I ever had. Stopped working after literally 2 weeks and absolutely zero information from the manufacturer
100%, not a good light!
Mine is arriving in a few day lets see how it compares to my Olight X7R 12,000 lumens, I dont expect much because its a $40 torch compared to a $300
The minimum lumens of the three Cree's combined are under 6,000, so 12,000 is also a "happy thought figure", to be honest. Closer to the truth (max output IS 4000/LED) than Chinesian values but most likely not what one gets out in the field.
The intro cannot be longer than your
The videos are actually using a DX80 on turbo mode which is 32,000lms.
or just VFX-ing them. No way of knowing what they are using...actually 😀
xhp70 just 14$ in asia..5$ at china..mehh
You're comparing $20 one with $200 one.
It says 90000 not 9000. I see it on Amazon all the time and suckers are going to fall for it
I am curious , is he blind? 4:54 "it's similar...bla bla " In what f-ing universe those are similar?
not the Garberiel
I bought the 90000 from amazon and ain’t last 6 months
Good honest review, thank you sir!
Lots of fake accounts defending that the XHP 70 flashlight 😂 I have one and it sucks compared to one that I owned for years. Bought it thinking it was gonna be an update on brightness and oh boy was it a huge disappointment.
I got bored after 12 seconds listen to him go ER
It’s definitely not 1000 Lumens. I own one that claims to have a “XHP90”
I measured the LED. It’s 7.2 MM. So it’s clearly a 70.2 LED.
This light I own is SUPER BRIGHT. In fact it beats my Horiyas with 12-16 T6 LEDs.
This light can easily push 3000-4000 REAL AMERICAN LUMENS. I tested this with an American XHP70B. And the light outshone it.
Chinese’s companies are jot fake like we think. I’m tired of people stepping down on them. All of our “American” products come from them anyway...
"XHP90" doesn't even exist AFAIK 😁
It can be a 70, 70.2, or 70.3 since they all are the same size (7x7 mm)
@@bennylloyd-willner9667 the XHP90 is a chinese clone/wannabe, not a real Cree product.
If the Horiyas had a proper driver and battery it could easily shit on that XHP.... flashlight
They're not much less efficient than a genuine Cree XHP70 but only go to 10W, so you can actually put 160W into those leds (the 16x model), and trust me that'll be like 3 or 4 of your XHP90 flashlights
@@BH4x0r yup, that's what I mean, no Cree XHP90. It can't really be called "clone" tho, when there is no original to clone 😁
@@bennylloyd-willner9667 lets call it a wannabe then, cause that fits better i guess.
Only 9.000 lm? That's pretty weak, I saw a cheap flash light working with 90.000 lm for the same price.
30 watts ... 😂 seriously!
Almost sounds like a woman's period,spot/flood.
Thanks for the video bromeiser!!
What type of batteries did you use. 26650 batteries will make that thing way brighter. Traditional batteries just don't have the amperage that a 26650 battery. That being said you also can't run it that long. Because they will melt, literally. 🤣🤣🤣
Considering the gap between his teeth. I'm not surprised about the bias review. Obvious he gets paid by the smaller flashlight brand, but he can suck it.
Uwotm8?
Why are you shining towards camera it makes uncomfortable to watch the video just go outside and show its performance
What a half ass review!! “I guess I should see if it’s waterproof...”
NO SHIT SHERLOCK!!
Next you should test bars of soap and just smell them.
Biased... I bet he's just trying to get free stuff from sure-fire. And yes, all you have to do to bypass the strobe mode is hold the button down.
18€ on temu lol
BTW your surefire is still made in china.
buy a skyray
I think your intro is to long but your review is spot on!!
are you kidding? my lying eyes? that P70 is much brighter you ding dong
XHP70 is much brighter, all metal body, comes with rechargeable cells (2x 26650) and can be charged from a micro USB. Great as a self defence device if out alone on dark nights. Available for around £20 with batteries and charging lead. Why pay more t use a flashlight that depends on outdated film camera batteries that cannot be recharged and can easily be snatched out of your hand?
Vote up for fact checking :')
Why don't you show us how powerful the flashlights are instead of blah...blah....blah !!

Got the 50W XLM-P70 today. It's nowhere near the size of the one posted in this video. It's closer to the size of the middle one. I opt'd for the dual 26,650 lithium bats. Came in a plastic case with snap laches and foam. Very tiny from what I envisioned, based on it's power ratings, and online video's. We'll see if it's worthy of $40 shipped from ChiNah! After charging 9 hrs! Oh, instructions aren't in any other language than Chinese. So I'm going to recommend the U.S. stop putting instructions and phone answering services, in other countries language. We need to quit being so polite to our enemies. That includes American liberal's. They just aren't worthy...
👊😉
Are you sure your's isn't the P50? At 1:15 he says the P50 is a smaller version of this.
Dude are you blind?? The 70 was way brighter and has more features on newer models and smaller. Also if you hold the button the light will shut off without cycling through.
