RovyVon Angel Eyes E8 Keychain Flashlight, 700 Lumens, AAA Battery Compatible, USB C Rechargeable EDC Flashlight (365nm Blacklight/Red/White)

I rarely say, or even admit this type of sentiment to myself, but what a great purchase. I've been using this flashlight (Color: E8 (Sidelight: UV+Red+White)) every day for several months, in the woods, on the trail, at the campsite, in the workplace, walking the dogs, in the attic, in the crawlspace, in the garage, and everywhere in between, and have found utility in nearly every function that it offers.My favorite feature of this lilliputian lantern is consistency in button behavior. The logic, forward-thinking and consideration that was put into the buttons alone indicates that these guys definitely care about their end-user. Even sans instruction manual, you will quickly learn the button behaviors, and find practical ways to exercise them.The included pocket clip is a bit tight to fulfill its intended purpose, but I keep it attached nonetheless, just to help orient the light in my hand by feel in the dark. Aside from that, the entire unit fits easily into the "watch pocket" of a standard pair of jeans or khakis, and is completely unnoticeable when walking.The strobe function (button 1, three clicks), is extremely irritating, which is exactly what you want in a strobe function. It is bright and disorienting at close range, and utterly impossible not to notice at long range. Feel free to draw your own conclusions and use-cases from those two evaluations. This diminutive dynamo will fit the bill.The power supply (one rechargeable onboard lithium + a spot for one AAA battery) might seem a bit of a novelty at first, but is practical when you average out the ways in which people will use this type of flashlight. A full charge will probably get you through a long weekend at the camp with heavy use, and that's great; simply throw it on a USB-C charger when you get back home or back to the vehicle. But when you walk the dogs every night and frequently have to use the high-powered LED (hold button 1) to locate that one blasted canine who always seems to dart off into the darkness to bark at the moon, a raccoon, or the world in general, it's nice that this gnomish torch will give you a subtle blink and color change on its indicator lights to tell you that it's been awhile since you've charged the lithium battery, and now you're on AAA power, buddy, the clock is ticking.The "UV" light function (button 2, three clicks), is sufficient for very close-range use, such as checking the cleanliness of your hotel bathroom, or finding spills and liquid spatters on the floor that the naked eye couldn't catch when you were cleaning something, etc. It is not nearly as robust as a dedicated UV flashlight or blacklight, but it's a nice-to-have feature.The seal provided for the USB-C charging port comes with its own replacement in the manufacturer's box. I wasn't sure whether this was really, really good customer service, or an indicator that, "hey, sometimes the thing just fails and falls out so we're gonna get ahead of your call to customer support."So far, the original is still intact, and I'm happy about that. I'll call it good customer service for now.Overall, great purchase, great little flashlight.

Powerful tiny light.

Did a lot of research before choosing this light. This is the best every day carry light! Flat shape fits in a front pocket better than a cylindrical light. Thin and light and bright! Focus and shape of front beam is perfect. If you need a brighter light then you need something bigger and not a EDC. It is feather light, almost too light without the backup AAA battery but with the battery it’s perfect. Two battery system (LiPo + AAA) is superb. The side lights work surprisingly well. The red light preserves night vision and nicely lights a 20 x 20 space. Can clip to your ball cap and I like this better than a conventional strap headlight.Can’t say enough about the customer service. My first light had a problem with the buttons. They answered my email within hours and sent a replacement via overnight mail at no cost to me.Five stars ‘cause you can’t give six.

I bought this for my Niece, she loves the size and options. The only bummer is the lack of a C usb cord for charging, that would have been nice to know ahead of time.

Pictured for size comparison are the Olight Baton 3, RovyVon E8, RovyVon Aurora A5, and Olight 1R2.These are just a few of my recent EDC flashlights that have evolved over the years. I've been carrying some kind of light daily for about 10 years now. Although the Baton is easily the brightest of the bunch it is just a bit chunky for EDC to me so it got relegated to a "go bag". Brightness isn't the only factor to me. It is nice that it can be charged independently inside the case, and it's built like a tank. But the E8 has better overall features for my use case and the fact that it can carry a AAA as a backup, and change it out as needed, trumps the Baton charging case IMO. Plus the E8 is slimmer and just feels better in the hand to me. USB-C charging is a HUGE plus since I have them all over the house, car, work van, and don't need to hunt for a proprietary case or cord. Most recently I had been carrying the A5 daily, which is a fine EDC light but beginning to show it's age. The E8 is certainly wider but has so many additional features it's worth it. Of note is the main LEDs are on the warmer side, not Nichia warm but noticeably warmer than most in this category. That's highly personal preference but I think it's a great compromise.Just one odd thing to me is the twin LEDs. Not sure if it's cosmetic or serves any real purpose. Doesn't bother me, but I wonder if one LED would have been just as well? Maybe 2 at slightly lower lumens is used to create more light without as much heat, just speculation. I was also concerned the top cover clasp may be easy to open, but it's pretty tight and I don't think it will be an issue. I don't use the clip but it fastens very securely. Oh and it doesn't tail stand very well due to the key ring attachment. I can carefully balance it, but any slight knock on the table will tumble it. Not a big deal to me as I have other lights I would be using to light up a room for long periods if needed. If using the side lights, it will stand on it's head just fine.I expect the E8 will nicely fill my EDC flashlight role for at least a year, until the next best thing comes along :)

Amazing little light. It's now part of my EDC. Small enough to fit in my sling, yet still packs a lot of useful features. The battery option is good to have just in case. I inserted an old eneloop AAA on there. The UV is not very strong but is useful for close inspection (arms length) and the red light - I always use it, helps my eyes adapt to the dark environment. By the looks of it the durability is average. I mean, i didn't buy this light to drop, throw and smash around. Who does that anyway? Captain Stuff Destroyer? LOL. Under normal daily use, I find the durability to be somewhat adequate.Cons: not much, but I don't like how the main buttons "feel"
