NEBO INSPECTOR RC Pen Light | 360 Lumens, 3 Light Modes, Rechargeable & AAA Battery Powered LED Flashlight, Waterproof, Compact & Durable, Pocket Clip for EDC, Includes USB Charging Cable

TL;DR got a whole new flashlight as a free replacement when my cap failed. Very bright. Decent battery life. Gets a little hotFirst of all, look how bright it is in my (very) well lit shop. Imagine what this bad boy does in the dark. Hint; it'll light up a whole bedroomWhat drove me to leave a review was the customer service. They call the cap a "bite cap" so naturally I thought I could hold the light by the bite cap with my teeth. However, it won't last too long if you do that. The light still turned on and everything, but using the button with the rubber piece torn was troublesome. I had to call and get a replacement cap.The process was made really simple. I called ACG, the company that owns Nebo, and they said they would send a new cap. I think it took a couple weeks to arrive, but hey, warranty is usually a slow process. Unfortunately, the wrong cap arrived. I called ACG again, let them know what happened. The lady on the phone seemed upset that this happened. She said she would send a whole new light instead. She had me verify that I actually owned the light, and about a week later, my new light was inDefinitely a company worth doing business with. And the light itself is great. I've already attested to its brightness. And I've owned and used this light daily for 6 months. There are 3 modes you can cycle through; but what's cool is that once you turn it off for like 30 seconds, the cycle resets. So each time you turn it on, it'll start on high mode. I had other brand lights that don't do this, and you have to cycle through all the modes every single time you want to use the light. Because of how bright it is, it gets fairly warm. Not really an issue for me. I can use the light pretty heavily through the whole day before it needs a charge. I'm a mechanic and this is basically my main light; and I haven't had to stop in the middle of my day to charge it once. It definitely doesn't last me two days of heavy use, so I just charge it at the end of each day. And being able to switch to AAA batteries in a pinch is really nice. And since I have two of these lights, I put a comparison picture of the batteries in this reviewI don't really have anything bad to say about this light or Nebo or ACG. I hope this review convinces at least one person to buy this light. They really deserve it, and so do you

made of good quality material.feels well built when held in the hands.charged with supplied USB cable and functions as intended.light output is very bright for me which is a plus being an auto mechanic.will update how it holds up in a few months.would recommend at the moment for quality, brightness and intended function.

This is a great rechargeable penlight at this price point.It is important to define the type of light source you need i.e.: floodlight, spotlight, defused, ambient light.Floodlights illuminate a large area/space with light. Some handheld Floodlights will illuminate your whole yard, sort of like when the streetlights turn on, or a flash on your camera.Spotlights illuminate a more focal area with light and will cast light to a distance. Casting light is known as 'throw'. Spotlights are for focused illumination, not areawide illumination. Think search and rescue, sighting lights on pistols/rifles, or looking for relevant objectives at a distance. Spots will have a deeper convex reflector, which means more of a cup'cup' where the light source sets.Defused light is just like a light bulb, candle, or a lantern. It casts a wide light into the immediate area. It is unfocused and glowing. Think of a campfire and the glowing area of light that surrounds it.Ambient light is the light that bounces off of surfaces. Ambient light can be everywhere at once. Ambient light illuminates, does not focus. Think full moon night and fresh snow. You can see for miles in the dark. You can't pick out specifics.The NEBO Rechargeable Pen Light is slim form factor, rechargeable, floodlight. It excels in this area. It is about an inch longer than a writing pen and will fit in your shirt/jacket/back pocket easily. It does focus but has limited throw. Good for close-up wide-angle inspections in low light levels.There is no one size fits all flashlight at this price point, choose the one you need relevant to its intended purpose and cost.This light rocks on a lot of fronts. You will not find a better waterproof, durable, rechargeable, small flood, with focus for the price.

Great penlight, this is my 3rd one. They take a lot of abuse and I love the usb recargable feature.
