Hey my dude! Fantastic review and break down. I picked one of these up a couple weeks ago and have loved it. Have you seen any way to check battery life? I havent been able to find one
I didn't do a runtime test. But I plan to review the V10 soon and I'll do a runtime test on that one. Subscribe and hit the Bell button to be notified when I post that.
I'm carrying and using one of these everyday. Light output is more than sufficient, in fact I use "economy" most of the time. That's enough light to see with, high lumen output is just for bragging.
@@MoondogReviews Primary. I actually wouldn't trust this not to self discharge if I didn't use it every day. I work an evening shift and have a goat to milk after work. The Boruit gets used to get to the shed and has (in white side mode) replaced the shed light when it packed up. Magnet sticks nicely to the inside of a corrigated iron roof. I like that this is cheap enough to risk losing, which I think is important when it's in your pocket everyday. In fact I have 2, so you could say my backup is another Boruit V3. Backup is actually a Maglite, D cells don't self discharge.
@@highloughsdrifter1629 Good point. I never tested it for self discharge. I like the magnet but mine actually came off. I had to super glue it back on.
I really like your video and the way you explain, You said about 900 lumens and I liked You showed There was just 360 instead of 900, but I realised You showed a V3 wich brand is "Bruit" and when I found a V3 model at Amazon, I saw that the V3 flashlight is Jakoo brand, Not Bruit like yours, may be You have a "similar V3" in that brand you showed. Could that be the reason of just 360 lumens You showed? Any way I made up my mind to get a V3 flashlight but considering the brand I saw at Amazon for a V3 flashlight is "Jakoo" instead of Bruit. Greetings fron Mexico.
I strongly suspect Boruit and Jackoo and other "brands" buy the same flashlight from the same OEM factory in China and release it under their name. If you look on the page for "V3 keychain light" you'll see a bunch of the same flashlight sold by various brands: amzn.to/46RbY5Z
Bad company! I sent this message to them and still no answer. I bought a boruit v3 lens and from one of the two reflectors it was unscrewed and I lost the reflector, bezel and the o-ring. Did you sell them separately somewhere? If not, can you send them to me so I can screw them up again? I have sent you email, sent you message to your site and still no answer...
Lux to Lumens isn't always a 1:1 ratio. Lux is dependent on the volume of area illuminated ( per meter squared). suprabeam.com/technology/lumen-to-lux/ In another video I calibrated my icebox to a 100 lumen light and determined that I needed to apply a .25 factor (40%) to any Lux number. ruclips.net/video/NETNURMAWpo/видео.html
@@MoondogReviews Oddly I use the setup recommended on the BLF forum and found mine to reach 721Lm on high and infact all my test was within 10% of the manufactures claims.. This has been the same for any flashlight I have ran my own tests for from My Emisars to Olights and god knows how many flashlight and headlamps I have ran tests for (well over 700 now) I do agree with the outdoor beam shots. But thats down to the reflectors... All in all I love the V3 as an emergency or campsite flashlight. And in someways it is better than even the bigger brands.
@@hudsonbear5038 Did you test the lumens, candela & run time of all the modes?, the manufacturer does not specify the candela rating & we know this light will heat up & should throttle down on turbo, high & even medium.
I found a similar flashlight in an online shop but with the Uzboo brand and the same model as the Borouit v3, and the question is is this the same as the Borouit that you reviewed?The model is exactly the same but different brands
I tested the Boruit V1 under the same testing procedure and it's an even smaller light, and it outperformed. So take that for what you will. ruclips.net/video/_gXUjtZN7PM/видео.html
I have ordered one of these lights for a different reason…it has a magnet on it. I needed a small light to walk from my new carport down a short sidewalk to the back door of my house. My carport is steel, so when I drive in this light will be attached to one of the steel posts of the carport. It is also important that it is relatively waterproof. Using this light it is about a 30 second walk to my back porch door, where an automatic led strip light will take over. The door is steel so I can stick it on the door for future use. Very handy and I wanted something I could readily recharge, so it is ideal for my use! Price was less than $15 with free shipping.
Have you tested the lumens with the flashlight in its fullcharge? Another question is the color of the ice box, does the color of ice box affect the reflected light?
All of my light review videos have the flashlight fully recharged overnight before testing. Color does effect light measurements. I use new foam coolers that haven't been used for storing food. An integrating sphere is the official way to measure lumens. My ice box is a hack job but my calibrating 100 lumen reference light was also measured in the same box so the numbers are apples-to-apples. digitalbikeparts.com/en/measuring_the_lumens_with_an_integrating_sphere/#:~:text=Integrating%20sphere%20is%20used%20to,This%20is%20the%20integrating%20sphere.
It is not worth the money. They are selling this for around $15. For a few dollars more you can get a Wurkkos TS10 which uses a 14500 and outputs 1400 lumens of 90CRI light with Anduril 2.0
@Sodium Syndicate The TS10 it's not what most consider a "keychain light". The TS10 is almost as big as a pepper spray bottle, Granted some women put pepper on a keychain but it's a bit of an outlier. You are absolutely right that the TS10 is a much brighter and cost effective from an output standpoint.
@@MoondogReviews Sure this is smaller than a TS10, but given that the output does not even match the claim, plus am not sure the run times are great either given that it is likely the battery is poor quality. If Wurkkos made this light & sold it for $15, it would work. If Rovyvon or Nitecore made this light, it would be $50+
Yeah your lumen test sucks sorry its true your machine alone already is black and it will absorb a lot of light... This is tested in a professional lumen tester and outputed 590 lumen in high...
I can say that my other tests with other flashlights were pretty in-line to the manufacturer stated numbers. Maybe I got a lemon? Can you share a link to the professional lumen test video?
got one of these not so long ago. Cracking torch for the price. I tested it on a short trail run in an unlit wooded area and it was plenty bright enough to simultaneously see the route ahead as well as light up any trip hazards at my feet. Since did a run time test from full charge to dead on the high brightness mode and it lasted just over 2 hours. Really hard to find a better torch for the price!
You said the same limit test setup was used for other lights. Were you able to confirm other manufacturer lumen specs with setup, or have all measurements been significantly lower than claimed?

Can confirm that it is not 900 lumens. Compared it against my nitecore tini 2 rated at 500 lumens no noticable difference at turbo Still a great keychain got it for $12

I came up to the same conclusion about the lighting output, but you had a much better method than I. All i could do is compare to other lights I have. If you hold down the switch for turbo mode, does those metal rings get too hot to the touch for you as well?
I never held down turbo for that long but that doesn't surprise me. All that extra power output going to the LED translates to more heat which has to get channeled somewhere. With metal bodies EDC, the tube acts as the heat sink. With this plastic bodied light, you've discovered it's the metal bits.
@@MoondogReviews Sir, you are doing the wrong calculation, the luxmeter itself is indicating that it is at 89 x 100 lux= 890 lumens... You method are so wrong.
Well its bright for sure but most people can't tell the difference between 900 lumens and 600 lumens or 400 lumens. Our pupil automatically closes to reduce bright lights so as not to damage our eyes.

Should the light meter be directly pointed towards the light beam? Reflected light is not provide the accurate results
Lumens are measured using captured reflected light in a light rectifier.

At full charge, how long can tge battery last on low, medium and high mode?
6hrs on low, 3hrs on med, 2hrs on high. There is an economy mode that claims 78hrs. I didn't have the patience to test that.
My main concern with these cheap flashlights is not so much inflated lumens, but actually inflated running times.
With these micro EDC, runtime is limited. Tough on moonlight mode, you can sometimes get over an hour.
