Bolder LC90

Anker makes very high quality products and is one of the most reputable Amazon brand type products I’ve ever used! Boulder Flashlight Review: Thank U Anker for providing HONEST LUMEN RATINGS unlike sooo many flashlight brands on Amazon claiming 1000-100000 lumens when they only output 10-30% of that. These Anker Boulder lumen ratings seem extremely Acura TE if anything I would say they are brighter than their rating. I own both Boulder lights this 900lumen zoom able and the 400lumen which is my favorite it is much smaller and still super bright and rechargeable. They are both tough lights I use the 400lumen at work almost daily for Tig welding on tool steel. Put this flashlight in a magnetic flashlight holder stick it to the die and now I can weld for 1.5 hours easy on high light with the 400lumen. The 900lumen can do that for about 3 hours. It os very bright light and make welding much easier in darker places. I use it hunting or taking dog out. Then just put it on the charger and it’s good again. Easily one of the better flashlights I’ve ever owned and for the price it is the best. My stream light pro tac AA is still my favorite but it’s also $40 and half as bright as the 400 lumens. It is still the most rugged tough light I’ve ever owned . I’m on my second one I wear it on me at work every day. I like having a light that I can just put batteries in when needed also so if needed I can. My work provides AA batteries . I have dropped it roughly 40 times. Falling out of mag holders or falling or rolling off stuff. It still work it is amazing. Well these Anker boulders are not that tough but they are still very tough. They can also handle being dropped. They seem to have a limit though I had one fail where u really have to shake it or tap it to get it to light but it took a beating. The quality is great the price is great. Can’t go wrong. A stream light like this would cost 4-5times the price. I can’t afford to buy a bunch of stream lights especially when these perform soo good do a great price.

I did buy this on sale for about $23 a couple years ago, and the price is now $34, but I still think it’s a great deal considering the quality of this light. It’s extremely bright. Anker products are well known for their high quality, and this is no exception. The light holds a charge forever! I keep it in my vehicle and it’s always ready to go. It has an adjustable beam that you change from wide to focused by pulling in or pushing out the lens assembly, and the soft wide beam gives a good wide beam of light while the narrow beam gives a bright, focused beam that illuminates a good distance away. Standard beam, flicker and SOS I think, I never use the others, but I do know that if one were coming up on a trespasser at night and used the flicker/strobe feature it would be very disarming to anyone it was shining on because of the brightness and “chaos” of the strobe, and it would work really well if stopped on a dark roadside for safety against oncoming traffic! I have many Anker products and love them all, and this one is a favorite! I didn’t rate water resistance because I’ve never had it wet, but I would imagine it’s as good as any and am certain it would be fine in heavy rain due to the build quality and tightness of moving parts/seals. The ONLY thing I wish Anker would do that they didn’t with this light is offer a red and/or blue lens cap accessory, there are MANY uses for such caps including enhanced roadside safety and emergency uses. PLEASE Anker, produce colored lens caps for this and other lights like this one!

I just got my LC90 today and I already love it. It's stunningly bright, literally. Turning the strobe function on in an already relatively bright, indirectly sun-lit room is an unpleasant experience. I can't imagine what it would be like to have that flashing straight in your eyes so I can see now how it could be used for self defence. The beam lights up the top of a tree a solid 100 yards from my apartment. It's incredible that this much light can come from a single led. The flashlight has a nice, solid feel to it with good fit and finish throughout. It's perfectly sized: not bulky but just a little bigger than a pocket flashlight. It feels good in the hand. The zoom feature is very smooth with just the right amount of resistance. The beam pattern is clean without hot spots (unlike my Maglites). The micro usb charging port is very clever and gives you a lot of options for being able to charge the unit wherever you are without having to carry around a bulky charger. Plus rechargeability means you never have to struggle with thoughts of "oh my flashlight's batteries are wearing down just a little bit and my flashlight is getting dimmer. I *could* replace the batteries (if I have more on hand, at $1-2$ a pop), though the flashlight's still working. It's just unsatisfyingly dim now." I don't know about you but I right now have 4 other flashlights sitting in a drawer and they all could stand to have their batteries replaced. The batteries alone would cost half the cost of this flashlight so I went ahead and upgraded instead! Now my flashlight will always be ready at full power. One or two people here complained about the flashlight having too many functions, but it's great that the flashlight remembers the last mode you had it in so if you mostly use it in its medium brightness mode, it will be set that way whenever you pick it up. I have a Mini Maglite, a 2 C-cell Maglite, and an old school but still excellent Streamlight 3 C-cell LED flashlight (circa 2005 and still running) and they all pale in comparison to this LC90. Buy it, you won't regret it!
