On the Road U16 - Rechargeable Mini Light with 730 Lumens

 

The "On the Road U16" is one of the best full package flashlight for the budge tlight crowd. Some say On the Road is a copy of the Olight, but I don't see any olight like this at the moment though. I can only tell you what I see, which is a full package flashlight, powerful 730 lumens output, with a rechargeable 16340 battery included, and the accessories that you need to get it running. You don't even need a charger, this light has a USB port for that and you are all set!

The light is not expensive, but it comes with a nice full-package - landyard, pouch, battery, o-rings, manual and the light. Good enough!  I think this kind of packaging is nice for gifts too, much better than the crappy clam-shell package by some other companies.

 

The 16340 battery that comes with the light, 700mah. The light can be used for days if you use it on the low mode most of the time, which is actually the way to use these small lights. If you use it indoor, low mode is enough most of the time already, that's how we use it in reality!

  

 

Gold plated spring, and magnet below the spring for sticking this light to the fridge or car or anything. Keep in mind that the magnet is not the strongest thing in the world, some other lights have stronger magnets, but I think you can replace it with your own in the future maybe. It works, but not the best for sure.

 

Gold plated springs inside too, nice electronics, and potted internals, good enough, tough enough!

 

Very nice design for the anti-roll feature, and the light is stylish with the big head, which I actually do quite like. The button is rubbery to the finger, and you got a nice OP reflector for a spready beam.

 

The other side of the switch is a rubber cover for the USB port, and yes, it is waterproof!

 

USB port below the cover, micro USB charge.

 

On the Road logo on the other side, and as you can see, the light is anti-roll on almost any angle!

 

OP reflector, large LED there, I think it should be quite powerful in the dark!

 

Also keep in mind - this is the most important mode out of all modes - moonlight!

The light claims to be 730 lumens, but I think it is about 500 lumens or about in reality. The light is still very powerful for such a small light and will definitely amazing you if you never play with these mini lights in the past. You can use CR123 with this light in case you run out of 16340, but it is less powerful using normal CR123.

On the Road U16 is just like any On the Road series flashlight, good and reliable quaity..! Runs on 16340 or CR123, and it claims to fire out 720 lumens, which I doubt, but it should be somewhat alike with the 500 lumens olights s1 baton I guess? We will see it in the review and compare them side by side!

Not forget that this light comes with battery and all you need is to plug it into the USB to get things charged up!  Everything is ready-to-play out of the box!

Convoy S2+ 1000 Lumen EDC for $20

 

 The Convoy S2+ silver edition is a sexy and powerful light for EDC. If you are on a budget, and want something nice quality, you might want to try this Convoy S2+ out.  Simply said, powerful throw, modes are memorized after 2-3 seconds including strobe, and you can also find the light in the dark because of its glow-in-the-dark o-ring in the front, and a glowing blue ring around the switch at the back. This baby comes with landyard, clip and spare o-rings, but no battery, get your own 18650 for this light, and it shall be happy!

The silver color body is very unique, because most of my flashlights are in black or grey or "titanium" color. A silver flashight also makes is more visible in the dark, so if you are trying to find a flashlight in case of blackout, this Convoy S2+ might be easier to spot out of a bunch of black objects, right?

 

No stainless steel bezel, but the lens is AR coated, with a nice smooth reflector, I could not ask for more for a $20 budget light!

 

Here is the switch at the back, which is actually flush with the raised part around it, and so it is tailstand friendly, with a nice blue glowing ring below the button, making it very visible and easy to find in the dark in case of emergency.

 

Typical EDC tube style size, just like the Nitecore MH12 or lights of this type, very typical size, great for the grip, and can even act as an impact weapon if need.

 

Trying to show you the glow in the dark o-ring there.

 

Notice the hotspot? Very tight beam, must be having a great throw and very good for blinding people if need, yet the strobe is only memorized if activated for 2-3 seconds, which means if you strobe for 1 second and turn it off, then turn it on again, it will jump to the next mode, which is SOS!  

 

Why not a silver color clip? I don't understand the design, lol!  

 

Very powerful light when on turbo, it's a nice EDC with a legit 1000 lumen output, even for $20, one can experience the 1000 lumens power now, how fortunate are we?

 

Wait, there is more, gold plated springs and nice potted electronics, which is hard to find in these "budget light" series, but the Convoy always come in nice quality! 

 

Springs inside too, and so is the potted spots on the 2 sides, making sure that your light is as strong as hulk to withstand any drops or even hamemring absuse.

Unbeatable deal for $20, this is just one of those must-have light for the budget light crowd. If you don't want to spend $60 for an EDC light, this kind of stuff is for you. Convoy makes some very good products and charging a low price for them. Hard to beat, get one when you still can.

The Convoy S2+ silver runs on one 18650 battery and provide you with 2 groups of modes, with or without strobe and SOS, which is actually very nice for EDC use. The light is well made, just like all convoy series, and the unique blue glowing ring around the tailcap switch is very useful for finding your light in the dark. Glow in the dark o-ring on the head too! 

For a EDC Flashlight, $20, you cannot go wrong with this Convoy S2+ for sure, it's a quaity light for a low price tag!

Compare $20 Convoy S2+ to Nitecore P12, Both 1000 Lumens but.... BIG Difference in the price tag, see it in reality!

Thrunite TN36 2017 Review - 10k Lumen Upgraded Beast

 

The Thrunite TN36 2017 is an upgraded version of the TN36-UT, it has a bit more power and comes with a fully loaded package of its own. New battery, charger, and all the goodies that you need to get it running on day 1. This Thrunite TN36 2017, when pumped with the included batteries, will output 10000 lumens, definitely a push beyond the 7300 lumens in the older version.  My unboxing video below for your enjoyment!

  The box opens up and smells like Thrunite, everything is just Thrunite, period.

 

Remarkable things here - the charger is different and is actually quite fancy to the eyes compared to the older version. I have made a video about it too.

 

The holster is pretty much the same as the TN36-UT, and nice to see the base is sealed up, unlike the Nitecore with open bottoms.

Open up the package and you see the light like this below, with the 4x imr18650..!

 

Note that the imr18650 is actually BETTER, but you can use your normal 18560 too. The normal ones will work, but the TN36 2017 will do better with the IMRs, giving you more lumens as a result. I have done a video showing that too.

 

The LEDs look almost identical to the older ones, and yes, it feels like Thrunite only changed some LEDs and boards, but kept the whole body the same. It is hard to even tell which one I am holding sometimes. They all look very alike. I wish they can print the lumens on the body, so we can actually see it in numbers on the head and on the body!

 

The battery carrier goes in and sits in place, then you screw the head back on for the world breaking lumen party. But do you know that in case of emergency, you can use the body tube for drinking water too? :)

 

Lighting up the Thrunite TN36 2017, a handheld sun-grade flashlight is now LIVE.  

 

Never enough videos? Thrunite TN36 2017 official review below!

 

Why or if you shall get the TN36-UT or the new TN36 2017?

 

Some comparison will bring you to a different world of joy...!

 

There are or might be more videos on my channel on this light now or in the future, just YouTube them up and you will see my latest updates and testings with it. So far, I like the Thrunite TN36 2017 for its brightness but I personally like the old style mode change better because it is easier to get my modes sorted out. The dimming feature sometimes can be annoying to use in the dark and will make people go crazy when you really need the light and not blinding yourself in the dark.

Get one yourself?

ROFIS TR10 900 Lumens Angled Head Flashlight

 

The ROFIS TR10 is nto the cheapest flashlight of its class, but it offers you something different from your normal lights. The ROFIS TR10 got a magnetic base, angled head, and pocket clip, which fits all your needs - including the angle when you need to see your gauges while you are checking your tires and doing repairs in the dark. The light does NOT come with battery, but you can buy your own CR123 or 16340 for cheap at gearbest too. This light outputs 900 lumens max, and got a decent throw to the beam. You can see the light in reality in the review video posted at the end of this post!

First thing is to look at the size of this mini flashlight. You can see that it is not just "tiny" but VERY tiny in the CR123 powered flashlight class. The light is great for ladies who complain about anything being too big in their pockets or purse!

 

Packaging is simple, and only comes with the landyard loop, manual, o-rings and nothing more. Very simple indeed!

 

You can see the button here, which is actually not flush with the light, so yes, there can be accidental turn-on by chance, but you can always unscrew the cap a bit to prevent that if you do care.

 

OP reflector, giving you a good floody beam - as we all expect, but wait, there is more, it actually do have a bit of throw up to 130m!

 

 

Gold plated springs and magne hidden below the spring.

 

Good to see another good spring down the tube too, so it is a good design that can prevent your battery from smashing onto the board by accidental bumps and drops.

 

Do you realize the hotspot there? I am already shocked to see such a hot spot for this kind of light, it might do better than I expected in terms of throw.

 

Laying it down like this let me see the "throw beam" better, and it is definitely not a flood-only beam.

 

The angled head of this ROFIS TR10 is pretty tight and secure, it is even a bit hard to turn, which ensures you the light will not wobble and swing around in the pocket like how the Klarus AR10 does in the past...

 

Yup, you can tailstand this baby and turn it back to "normal" flashlight setup with the head pointing straight too. I find that I do like the 90 degree setup more, but its good to have an option to choose from, unlike the Olight H1 nova which sets us on 90 degree ONLY.
