While I like the ideal of these flat lights, I hate the thought of them becoming useless in a few years when the batteries give out...a standardized flat pack battery that could be replaced would be awesome...so many airpods, smart watches, etc are already in the garbage when they function perfectly except for the battery.
Yeah, as time goes on I get more tired of tossing devices when the battery dies. For a long time my cell phones had user-replaceable batteries but things "evolved" to where they became disposable. Pity.
First off, thanks for the quick review. I'd be all over this for gifts and for my various kits and bags, but I hate the red/blue strobe thing. It's useless on a good day, and while I don't know of any specific incidents, messing around with a flashing red/ blue light seems like a good way to attract the attention of law enforcement. Would much rather have a UV led instead of the blue, or at very least, just not a strobing blue component.
I got one a few months ago. I do like the design and quite affordable price. However the LED seems to have a bit of flickering presumably due to how the PWM control is implemented. I wish they would fix this and it would be perfect.
So it's basically a variant the NEBO slim ( probably from the same factory ) but worse because it has some extra nonsense complicating it, and the lumen rating is way higher than it actually is.

Hello again, Doc
Thank you for another Great Video 👍 I enjoyed watching today's video. Again thank you 👌

Great price
I can appreciate the lower cost, but you do get what you pay for. This looks like a $20 light.
If you get the black one there is a 20% coupon

Agreed. It looks exactly like the Nebo, which I have and I like.
