Base rating is an estimated baseline from the owner feedback we have available across Amazon reviews and any credible web sources we reviewed.

Frequently asked questions
How bright is the light and what are the runtimes?
The listing lists three FL1-rated modes: High 400 lumens up to 3 hours, Medium 200 lumens up to 5 hours, Low 100 lumens up to 8 hours. It also lists a Turbo Mode that provides 1000 lumens in intervals up to 60 seconds.
Is the laser safe and how powerful is it?
The listing specifies a Class 2 green laser at <1mW with a wavelength of 510–530nm. Because the laser is a Class 2 device, follow manufacturer guidance and avoid pointing it at eyes or reflective surfaces.
Is the flashlight water resistant?
The product specs list the water resistance level as Not Water Resistant, so it is not rated for wet or submerged use.
Does it have a USB-C charging port?
The listing states the unit is rechargeable and includes a lithium-ion battery, but the spec block does not name the port type. Multiple owners report a USB‑C rechargeable port in their hands-on notes; confirm the port type on the current product page before buying.
Can the forward beam and the floodlight be used at the same time?
The listing describes both a forward beam and a side-facing floodlight but does not specify simultaneous operation. At least one owner reported that the forward beam and floodlight are not simultaneously operable; the listing itself is silent on that detail.
What accessories are included?
The listing lists a belt clip as an included component and states one unit (1 Count). It also notes 1 nonstandard battery is required and included. For charger, cable or other accessories, the listing directs customers to check current product details.
How durable is it over time?
Owner feedback repeatedly praises the build and finish, calling it durable and suitable for trades. Some buyers report the magnet is strong and that the unit has held up through regular work use; the manufacturer frames it as professional-grade. For formal warranty terms, refer to the manufacturer website.
