Forrader C12 XM-L2 U3 Super-bright LED Flashlight Torch Light with Tail Button Switch Controlled by 5-mode, Black (Flashlight Only)

I own many lights the high dollar ones down to the cheapos this is a high dollar feeling light at a cheap price it throws a superb beam and has plenty of kick . This light throws a beam about 500 ft and it turns the area to daylight . I compared it to another bargain light the cree 3 T6 bulb light trustfire and its over rated lumens supposedly 3800 lumens and uses 3 batteries. The forrander C12 definately is more powerful and uses one battery the 18650 and throws a spot beam .*** ONE VERY Important thing order it from the company Deserve USA it will arrive fast if you live here in the USA. On the otherhand if you order it elsewhere like I did accidently on my second order for a Christmas present-By the way it's still not here I ordered it on Dec 15th I will have to wait a month or more for it to arrive from China estimate arrival Jan 22 snail mail Chinese torture ! I am a UPS driver and this is my go to light for finding numbers and disorienting dogs :-) The Deserve USA light they got 1 pre order and 1 last minute order here to me in 3 days . SO THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT" look before you" Click and order unless you like to be tortured months to receive an order.

Great beam throw on par with Upgraded ThorFire C8s LED light that is my favorite light ever (but the ThorFire is about $10 more expensive) ThorFire Upgraded C8s LED Flashlight Powerful 900 Lumens CREE XM-L2 Torch with 5 Modes Using 18650 Battery( Not Included).Unlike many other cheap LED's, however, this Forrader ACTUALLY appears to be legitimate XM-L2 bulb and is probably about 800 or 900 lumens (versus another knock-off C8 LED that claimed 1300 lumens but was probably more like 150). It's a little longer than a C8s flashlight due to the extra heat-sink fins.I gave it 4 stars because compared to the ThorFire C8 light, the build quality is not as good. Not terrible build-quality, mind you, just probably about 3 star instead of 5 star quality like on the ThorFire. This Forrader has a painted finish, instead of anodized finish like on the ThorFire. The threads are kinda temperamental and cheap feeling instead of nice and solid like on the ThorFire. The very center spot beam itself isn't quite as crisply circle as the ThorFire (more oval shape and fuzzy edges) and the light I received had some sort of aberration on the lens (I think it's the lens of the LED itself not the glass at the end of the light) causing a faint artifact to appear in the corner of the spot beam. But it is just about as bright and throws as well as the 900 lumen ThorFire and is about $10 cheaper than the ThorFire.The switch DOES have memory, but unlike the ThorFire includes a useless (IMO) full-powered SOS mode that must be cycled through to get to the other modes. (Think about it: you're stranded in the middle of nowhere and want the SOS to shine all night long while you're sleeping, except being that the SOS mode is full-power and will probably only last a few hours before being completely dead. Now you're still stranded AND without a flashlight for the duration of your survival adventure... forget that, I'd rather light a fire haha).Also the strobe light is one of the normal cycles that must be clicked through instead of a very useful and quick double-click like on the ThorFire. The double-click strobe on the ThorFire allows you to instantly access strobe mode no matter what mode you were previously on. Additionally, when trying to just cycle through normally to get to a different mode, on the ThorFire you don't have to blind yourself with a full-power strobe like you do on this Forrader.But overall, for the price this Forrader C12 is a well performing LED light. If the beam itself is all you're concerned about, this light might even be a better value than the ThorFire. But if you're looking for a solidly-built tactical light (with better clicking modes) and are willing to pay just a little bit more, I recommend the ThorFire.

Compared to a Maglight 2 D cell LED flashlight, this little guy is far superior. I live in the mountains of Western North Carolina and our land is a home for Bob Cats, Foxes, and other critters. When I take our dog out at night, I like to scan the perimeter to insure there are none in waiting. This light will flood the entire valley and deep woods with a light as bright as a car headlight. It is small enough to slip into my jacket pocket when I need to open doors etc. The construction is a very rugged design of machined aluminum. It does not come with batteries so you will need the Outlite charger 18650 charger that comes with 2 batteries. You will need an extra battery because life is limited and you need a standby while recharging. It has a dimming feature as well as flashing mode and SOS signal which would be useful for camping or back packing.

This is a nice and bright flashlight. Really good beam for the money. However it only gets 3 stars because every time you turn it on, it goes to the next light type in the sequence. If you had it on the brightest setting, next time it'll be dim, and the next time it'll be strobing. So annoying having to hit the button multiple times every time you want a light.I'm really fed up with how every flashlight has to be a "tacticool" light. Who is ever going to really need a strobe or sos? Just give me a simple light that turns on and off!

First off I am a flashaholic, and I own the best olight, eagletac, fenix, nitecore, thrunite, etc. This low budget flashlight can go head to head with the best I mean it says 2000 lumens it's pretty dam close for a low budget flashlight, this flashlight has some super amazing throw and brightness, and please note it does not come with an 18650 battery which is a rechargeable, so just get freaking battery and buy this flashlight and you'll see for yourself how kick-ass this light is!! Update.... This flashlight is a serious powerhouse for 20 dollars, I'm really impressed with it, the flashlight performs like a champ, I use the best batteries which are Panasonic 18650 3400 mah and it shines like a champ and last long, I would definitely recommend this flashlight, it's got some serious booty for a low budget flashlight! I forgot to mention, this flashlight also runs on two cr123 batteries and 16340 rechargeables!

Lampe torche Forrader créé xm l2 u3. Très puissante. Ne chauffe que très peu. Combinée avec une Panasonic 18650 autonomie très grande. Je l ai depuis au moins 2 ans sans soucis. Utilisée tout les jours.

No entiendo la razón de gente que dice que ilumina igual que otras tipo 800lm.. Sinceramente les da un buen repaso, ya hace meses que la tengo y ilumina bastante más que otras de mayor precio y lógicamente mucho más que otras t6 etc etc, la utilizo para paseos por campo de noche, pasear con perros, alcance 300m sin despeinarse, sinceramente la mejor compra que pude hacer de 3 modelos distintos que pedí que se suponían tenían iguales características... Quieres una buena linterna sin gastar pasta gansa.. Mira videos en Internet que te ayudan mucho a ver lo q puede dar de sí esta linterna a precio bajo.

Questa "Forrader C12 CREE XM-L2 U3 Super-bright 2000 lumen LED Torcia torcia con coda pulsante interruttore Controllato da 5-mode, Nero (Flashlight Only)" che mi appresto a recensire è una torcia tattica dalle qualità davvero sorprendente! Dotata di un Led XM-L2 ad alta luminosità, permette un ampia illuminazione nelle più oscure condizioni di luce, ma con delle precisazioni: Non essendo dotata di un regolatore di zoom, ed avendo un semplice proiettore fisso, il fascio di luce non sarà ne concentrato e ne troppo diffuso, potendo quindi illuminare solo distanze relativamente brevi, entro i 100 metri. La luce risulta essere molto chiara e limpida, tendendo al bianco/azzurro freddo, verso i 5000 Kelvin, quindi visibile anche in piena luce solare (3000 Kelvin), e pertanto altamente accecante (quindi MAI rivolgerla verso l'occhio umano od animale!!), e soprattutto regolabile in termini di luminosità e funzionalità, in quanto schiacciando leggermente il tasto ON/OFF sarà possibile passare alla modalità di luminosità 1/2/3, SOS e lampeggiante rispettivamente. Inoltre, i materiali esterni sono di elevatissima qualità e resistenza, composti principalmente da leghe in alluminio antigraffio, antiruggine ed antiurto, a comporre un involucro totalmente indistruttibile ed impermeabile (data la presenza di guarnizioni sigillanti in ogni apertura).Dopo approfonditi test, per meglio far comprendere i dettagli tecnici del prodotto, seguono alcuni risultati:…………………….1000mA………1500mA……….2000mAXM-L T6…………..388………………551………………602XM-L2……………..385………………541………………631XP-L V6……………500………………650………………806Come è possibile vedere, prendendo come campione di base una torcia XM-L T6 (una delle più vendute su Amazon), il led XM-L2 montato da questa torcia ivi venduta risulta essere totalmente alla pari della predecessore rispetto ogni assorbimento di corrente, superandola nel caso di luce al massimo; per chi non è in grado di comprendere i dati fisici qui esposti, essi esprimono come a parità di corrente assorbita a luminosità bassa (1000mAh), media (1500mAh) od alta (2000mAh), la torcia XM-L2 qui venduta rende quasi alla pari o maggiormente in termini di luminosità (per esempio 602 vs 631, e così via). In mezzo ai dati è presente anche la casistica di XP-L V6, led di nuova generazione, che resta superiore a questo XM-L2 in ogni caso, ma ciò non inficia l'ottima qualità del led di questa torcia in questa fascia di prezzo.Tolto di mezzo il discorso sui led, entra in gioco un fattore da non sottovalutare: La rifrazione. Infatti, il led di questa particolare torcia è racchiuso in una plafoniera conica la quale, grazie alla sua forma ed al materiale di cui è composta, riesce ad amplificare la luce del led mediante rifrazione, riuscendo così a far emettere dalla torcia lumen 3 volte superiori a quelli emessi dal solo led, in modo da riuscire ad avere, rispettivamente:…………………….1000mA………1500mA……….2000mATORCIA……………1187……………1674……………1908e ciò rende questa torcia la più potente presente nel listino Forrader.Per quanto visto e per quanto detto, mi sento di consigliare il prodotto a tutti coloro che cercano un torcia da tenere sempre con se, date le ridotte dimensioni, senza paura di rovinarla grazie ai materiali pregiati di cui è fatta.Spero che questa recensione possa essere stata esauriente per tutte le perplessità dovute all'utilizzo possibile del prodotto.Ps: A seguire, alcune foto del prodotto.

This product came well packaged in a cardboard box and bubble wrapped. Inside is obviously the torch along with a hand strap.The size of the torch is perfect for my needs and very easy to carry. It is made from very high quality aluminium and has a good bit of weight to it so could be used for breaking glass in emergencies, or hitting a would be attacker...The build quality is excellent with a powerful clear beam. The reflector is smooth which allows it to have an extended throw of several 100s of meters when on medium beam and even further if used on the blindingly powerful high mode. When on high mode the torch does emit a fair amount of heat however due to the multiple heat sinking fins the torch seems capable and dealing with the extra heat emitted. It has 5 modes which are very easy to switch between using the rear reverse clicky switch. It has a nice click to it when pressed and can also be half pressed to cycle through the modes. Additionally the torch has a built in memory mode which will remember the previous mode used when turned back on which is extremely useful and a feature lacking from many of the cheaper branded torches.It uses 3.7v 18650 batteries which fit nicely inside the torch. When inside it's good to go straightaway. The batteries last a good amount of time and should be more than enough to last several days especially with the different modes which will allow you to have an extended usage time albeit with a reduction in lumens. The flashlight offers very good value given its performance and very low price. I'd Highly recommend considering this torch due to it's many useful features and high quality.

Wer die Lieferung in einer schicken, gepolsterten Geschenkschatulle wie z.B. bei den Thrunite-Lampen erwartet wird enttäuscht sein, die Forrader C12 kommt in einem schnöden, labbrigen weißen Pappkarton ins Haus, zwar in einer Luftpolstertüte verpackt, ansonsten ohne Anleitung, Gürtelholster oder Ersatzteilen (O-Rings) wie die Thrunite TN11SV2, die hier mit einer identisch verbauten Cree XM-L2 als Vergleichsmodell dienen soll, sie ist aber auch ca. 25 EUR teurer als die Forrader... Der Preis von unter 20 EUR war für mich entscheidend für eine günstige Zweit-Lampe á la der TN11...Die Länge entspricht exakt der der TN11, sie liegt trotz der 8 groß dimensionierten Kühlrippen rund um den Reflektor (der selbst ca. 5 mm breiter ist als bei der TN11) gut in der Hand und besteht aus hartanodisiertem Flugzeugaluminium.Betrieben mit einem (NICHT im Lieferumfang enthaltenen!) Kraftmax 18650-Akku stehen insgesamt fünf Lichtmodi zur Verfügung: stark, mittel, schwach, sowie den für diese Lampen wohl unvermeidlichen SOS- und Strobomodi, ich kann auf diese verzichten...Auf jeden Fall merkt sich die Elektronik den letzt benutzen Modus und schaltet diesen auch wieder ein.In der Praxis überzeugt die Forrader mit einem sauber begrenztem Spotkegel, sowie einem ebenso sauberen Floodbereich - oder um es wie in einem YT-Video eines Lampenshops zu nennen: man kann mit dem Spot seinen entlaufenen Hund im Wald suchen, sieht aber auch noch den Weg auf dem man gerade geht...Ob es nun tatsächlich 2.000 Lumen sind lasse ich mal dahingestellt, Tatsache ist dass im maximalen Leuchtmodus der Fokus doch subjektiv einen wahrnehmbaren Tick stärker/heller ist als der der Thrunite!So bekommt die Forrader von mir letztendlich auch fünf Sterne, auch trotz einfach(st)er Verpackung oder fehlendem Gürtelholster, denn sie überzeugt mit durchaus wertiger Verarbeitung, guter Haptik, starker Lichtleistung - und letztendlich über den attraktiven Preis.
