Extremely Bright Light

I just bought this flashlight a few days ago and upon receiving it I could not get over just how really bright this light really is at 3500 lumens. This light has a very nice large hotspot as well as plenty of spill. What really blows my mind is just how far this light will reach or better said throw. Until now I have never witnessed a hand held unit that had this much power in it. I own several Surefire flashlights which granted are extremely nice lights but the lighting that the RC40 puts out is like nothing Ive ever seen before. This light Im sure would at least rival if not out do many automobile headlights. The owners manual even warns not to look directly at the light or point it at anybodys face due to the fact that it could cause eye damage.  I would highly recommend this light to anyone looking for a powerful high lumen flashlight with excellent throw capability and wonderful spillage. Good Job Fenix!!

These tubes are extremely bright, far more so than even a high output T-8 or T-12 florescent. They provide a nice warm white light. I have no way to measure precisely but am very experienced with lighting of all types and these appear to be somewhere in the 2700k light temperature range. They do take about a second to 1.5 seconds to light up but that is not a concern for me since they are in an area that is lit 24/7/365.

My only reservation is that they have only been online for a few weeks so I have no way to predict longevity.

Incredibly bright light, in fact I almost blinded myself fiddling with the button when I first got it.  The tail light batteries have very thin sheets in between them to break the circuit that must be removed first.

This light is awesome! It is extremely bright, and I will be using it to ride my bike to work in unlit areas. I did not realize that it needed to stay connected to the battery pack, which weighs ~1/2 lb but it comes with all necessary attachments to hook up to your bike (as well as red blinking light for visibility). Also comes with a headband to be used as a headlamp. If this is the route you choose to go, be prepared to have a place to store the battery pack while wearing the headlamp. Overall fantastic product and great customer service.

It is extremely bright light, I used this light as a work light. My only issue is that when turning this light on after 30 min. it become very hot. I don't know if it is normal or not I wish it wouldn't be so hot. That's why I gave it 4 stars.

This lamp is very bright. I mean, VERY bright. The box states 500 lumens, and I think they are very close to that. If you like bright white light (I prefer warm incandescent type of light), then this is something to consider and it is pure white light. your desk will literally feel like daylight is on with this lamp. There are seven levels of brightness (thank goodness) so you can lower the intensity should you wish to. The lamp does get warm (maybe close to hot) at the top portion in prolonged use but I think that is due to the high light output. The fit & finish is very good and has roudned edges at the base, which I like.

A sample was provided for review.

This is a unbelievably bright yet light focusable LED light. I used it all the time, clamped between my teeth when I'm working on my projects.

This is an amazing light and well worth the cost. It definitely exceeded my expectations.  Seriously, this light has an incredible stream of light for it's size and will make your jaws drop. Buy it!  You will not be sorry.

This light is extremely bright. It is so bright it is almost a flashlight lol.

It is very flexible and easy to operate. It can sit table side or clip on to your book. The clip is soft inside and smoothly functions.

Its a very quality made light. The reason I am giving it 4 stars is because it is so bright its almost daytime bright. Im 33 and I am starting  to have issues with white/blue lights at night. I may have liked it a little more yellow or a bit dimmer maybe.
Hopefully you get an idea with the video how bright it is lol.

It has 2 settings. Low and High.
Rechargeable so you do not have to constantly buy it batteries. And you get about 4-5 hours of reading time depending on your light setting before it needs recharged.
All in all very quality made. Just a bit bright. But that I suppose is the point huh?! lol

This unit far exceeded my expectations.  The lamp is extremely bright and has a loop to use for hanging it up.  The quality seems very high.  I have thought of many uses for this lamp, especially where household voltage is unavailable.

When I first turned it on, I couldn't believe how bright it was. I have already used it, and it is great. Thank you.
