Amazon right now has this to light for 29 and I just got one for my Cancun trip. As a do all but cheap enough I don't mind losing! 29 bucks! Now that's a deal
I think it's worth highlighting that the sliding shell thing isn't good just for fidgeting but it also means you get an easily accessible tail switch while also being able to tail stand the light.
This is my new favourite 14500 flashlight. I currently have the Rainbow Stainless Outer-shelled version and I just love it. The included 14500 battery is fantastic, and the light also accepts my Vepcell 14500 H-10 1000 mAh cells. Performance-wise this light and my Sofrin SP10v3 with the Vepcell H-10 cells are pretty neck & neck, but this light has the tail switch which makes it my favourite for that fact... and because of the better runtime at night output. Both lights are great and you can go wrong with either... but I love this light's the tail switch, 2 walled construction and that beautiful LED, beam and temperature.
This came in the going gear box this month right? Isnt the titanium like $200? So the aluminum is $40?? Thats not bad if that's true. I will say I'd like to see your titanium flashlight collection.
Can you turn the flashlight on then retract the switch to tail stand while on? If so versatility needs to be 4 out of 5 stars. Thank you for the review
I have one, it's a fun toy and an average flashlight. Looks good, decent enough but sub-par to many other offerings. Taking it out of the "sleeve" gives you a fairly slim and nice 14500 flashlight in a pretty striking color. I haven't tried running it long and hot that way but I don't see why it would be a problem. This with Anduril or another UI would be great, as it stands I don't find myself reaching for it for daily use much even though it carries absolutely great. Still a good value I think and the fidget factor is pretty fun. What's that pouch? Looks practical.
Good flashlight, very nice battery, what would you recommend as a very tight budget pocket flashlight? I'm using chinese flashlights and thinking to ask for a decent one as a gift from my sister in UK....
Hey I bought the Kodiak Kub at walmart for $20. I have my receipt and it's only been a few days since the purchase. I wouldn't mind seeing you review it or at least shoot me an opinion on it.
@@maxlvledc recharges with magnet, unsure of Waterproof rating, however iys very small , has a clip for a hat, has 500 lumen output and a turbo mode of 1000 for 30 seconds.
Still no review out on youtube about the AA Pokelit. Full click to switch modes is a no go for me. Have you ever tried to put a regular 14500 into the i5R?
@@maxlvledc So it looses the low mode completly or is the low the same as high. This would be the same like with the streamlight. There I am not sure if I see any differnece in high/low with the 16340 or 14500.
@@maxlvledc So you mean the Streamlight or Olight with now or both? My hope with the 2,4V 14500 of Olight was that it work with the Streamlight and give more lumen than the AA but keep the low 40 Lumen. But you wrote that it dont work in the the Streamlight
@@nOObels1 in ti...that's more difficult...not as many options to be honest...the D3A from Eagtac is one of my favorites but you need to buy batteries separately

I missed this, but you are correct..it also dramatically helps with heat dissipation.
I love Acebeam, They have really stepped up there lights. Olight is going in the opposite direction!
Wow great video ! I just got the stainless steel version ! Amazing Light !

I have this light. Yes its a great little light for the price. OH HELL YEAH !
Rider 2.0 has been released. Smaller , less titanium , longer runtimes .
Awsome! Got my eye on a blue one! 😍

Ti is only $50 with discount code
@@maxlvledc what???
Bought bc of your video was on fence but solid video
👍. Keep these coming.

hmmm, yes you can...but still a 3 imo. lots of tail switch flashlights can tailstand...
True but maybe not for this size edc torch @@maxlvledc
You gotta check out the Loop Gear SK01S LED/LEP. Giga fidget light right there, lol.
There's a lightning deal on Amazon today (1/21/23) that puts the Ti version at $37!
Good light all around by that user interface is goofy IMO. Give it a two stage switch, turning off to turn it on again is a silly way to do it.

Timestamp on the pouch?
@@maxlvledc the one with all the flashlights in it :)
9.45 into the vid.
@@swe_nurse8121 oh, it's called a Vault Case
I agree. I also have one. It's a fun fidget toy and mediocre as a light for the money.
can you fully remove the inner light part by disassembling the clip part? If so it might be fun to anodize that titanium shell.
Yes!
@@maxlvledc I got mine Friday, the fidgetability is fantastic as is the light, now to anodize it! Thanks for reviewing it!
It's common to get the same style and capacity of battery as the RX with the Lumintop Tool AA. Looking forward to trying this light though.
Their battery is micro USB though
I like it too !!! The multi-color one the 👍👌
These are better than olights i5t or even the I3t this light blows olight out of the water.
I just released a new video on the Acebeam Pokelit your going to want to watch then lol.
love the review style, only thing I would add would be a size comparison next to other 14500/AA batteries so we know it's overall size.
Ah! Good point
Love the look and the performance but having to open the light to charge it is a killer for me
I’m getting one 👍🏾😎

Guess it's time I upgrade my pineapple mini 😮 ID buy for the led alone but wow those are impressive specs
the pineaple mini though has a 5/5 ui
True, I don't have a 14500 flashlight yet, but the nichia led has spoiled me and my next one must have it 😅
Still no review out on youtube about the AA Pokelit. Full click to switch modes is a no go for me. Have you ever tried to put a regular 14500 into the i5R?

What's a current top in that size category with rechargeable batteries?
Not sure I understand the question
@@maxlvledc I look for something that size in titanium and rechargeable batteries, all including package sort of deal.
