This rechargeable flashlight is mainly appealing as a very cheap, bright pocket light with a case and a solid feel. The beam is described as decent to very bright, and the build is called dependable and well constructed. The big caveat is the 10,000 lumen claim, which is repeatedly questioned as far above real output. Battery details are also unclear, with conflicting reports about AAA, 18650, 21700, or a larger cell, and battery life is expected to be modest. A low-cost option if the brightness claim is taken loosely.
Campers and emergency-kit buyers wanting a cheap backup light, because it feels well built, holds a charge, and is bright enough for everyday use.
Shoppers who need a pocketable flashlight for routine household tasks, because it is reported to be bright enough without needing true 10,000-lumen output.
The battery setup is unclear and appears to vary by listing or version, with reports of AAA batteries, an 18650 with a spacer, and a larger cell around 6000mAh that may be 21700-sized. The safest assumption is that it uses a common removable lithium cell rather than a fixed, clearly specified pack.
The coupon code has been working for some buyers, but the discount is small and can be finicky at checkout. Reported final prices were around $11.39 plus tax, and one buyer said the code only took off about $1.90.
At this price, it is described as well built, dependable, and brighter than expected, with a case included. The main caveat is battery life: low-cost lights like this may have weak runtime, and some reports say the included battery capacity is likely overstated.
It is widely reported to be much dimmer than the 10,000-lumen claim, with some comparing it unfavorably to 7,000-8,000 lumen lights. It can still be bright enough for everyday use, but the advertised rating appears overstated.
They make 10000 lumen flashlights but expect to pay a lot closer to a hundred bucks and beyond for a true 10000 lumen flashlight. Don't get me wrong, 11 bucks for this light is a great deal. It's just not anywhere near 10000 Lumens, but it doesn't have to be. I'm sure it's plenty bright for most anyone needing a flashlight. With all that being said, for 12 bucks, count me in for 1. Thanks OP.

Unfortunately, Lumen ratings are in the same boat as Wattage ratings for amplifiers and Mah ratings for batteries, meaning there's no governing body that oversees that the ratings are not B.S. These companies are allowed to legally label them anything they want. These 3 industries (flashlights, Amplifiers, and Batteries) are notorious for lying through their teeth.
Does anyone know if this flashlight uses an 18650 or a 21700? It doesn't specify anywhere and when I ask Rufus about the type of rechargeable battery it uses it comes up with nothing. I'm guessing it's one or the other. I can't imagine them using something outside of either 1 of them but it would be nice to know.
Same kind of junk you can get off temu or AliExpress.. they can actually be pretty bright, with the battery life usually stinks.
Thats because the batteries that come with it are probably less than half of their rated capacity. Maybe even less than that. I wish I knew the battery size it takes. I can't find that info anywhere, and asking Rufus comes up with nothing. I'm guessing it's an 18650 or a 21700 but I'd like to know forsure. I have lots of 18650's but regardless, it's so cheap, I bought one anyway. ty OP

I found answers in the Q&A search, but it's still unclear. Some people report 18650, some say it doesn't use that. The most interesting was one review[amazon.com] that said, "flashlight has three different power sources - AAA batteries (alkaline included), a normal-ish 18650 battery with a sizer around it and then an unusually large 6000mah battery that I'm not familiar with (26650?)."

That 6000mah rating doesn't mean much because so many off brand batteries grossly over rate battery capacities. If I had to guess, I'm thinking it's an 18650 only because thats the most common battery size. If it's bigger than that, I'd guess a 21700. I'd be super surprised if they used a 26650. Not impossible but highly unlikely. Those batteries are some serious fat boys and the least common of the 3.
