Blukar LED Torch, 20000 Lumens Super Bright Torches Led

Sorry for the long review. Update end April 2024: I am really warming to Blukar products having used the K9138 now for a couple of months. The fitted battery is a 26650 5000mah rechargeable and has given me good run times. There is a sliding zoom function that allows one handed change from flood to throw so there are good light focus options. So far I have used the light continuously on high for about 2 to 2.5 hours then recharged it when it still had juice left in the tank from two blue lights. It took 3 hours to get back to the same voltage. My only concern is that the fourth blue light was still flashing even after an hour from the fourth stage being reached. The manual implies it should be a solid blue one once fully charged. Maybe I did not charge it enough for this to happen but I’m wary of overcharging relatively cheap lights and batteries. The kit also includes an adapter for a 18650 rechargeable and a 3xAAA alkaline option with batteries. All types worked when I tested them. I charged a 18650 battery in the flash light body and it seemed to charge up OK and on full lasted for 75 minutes, though I have no means of testing if the assumed 3000mah power output of the battery I used is accurate.. The AAA was a nice surprise as I did not expect much from this type of power source. From budget batteries I managed about ten minutes on what appeared to be an equivalent power output to a High/Medium rechargeable but then it ramped down and after an hour and a half I was left with a 40/50 lumen like brightness that still proved reasonably effective. Maybe Duracell would give a better return? A lanyard and basic cloth holster was also included in the carry case provided but there is no metal belt clip for what is a fairly heavy light with the supplied 26650 battery, though it is lighter with the other options. Build quality is very good for the price. As far as brightness is concerned knock a naught off of the 20,000 lumen claim. The throw on full zoom is almost comparable in brightness to my Nebo Slide King rated at 2000 lumens. The light gets hot in high with the 26650 but after a while seems to cool. Is this the work of the intelligent control chip that is advertised? The manual says”avoid drops impact extrusions” ( whatever that means) . Do I take it to mean it is not a robust product, despite there being a picture of it being run over by a car? A rubber O ring is found between the battery compartment screw thread and it claims to be IP67 rated so should have some good waterproofing qualities. I got mine on special offer at 16.64 so I feel this is a really good buy, especially for the long battery life I have seen so far and the versatility of power sources plus the rest of the provided package. Had the light been smaller it would be toward the top of my every day carry list but it is still one of my current favourites, even above lights costing three or more times the price. Is it worth the current price of 24? I would say yes but advise waiting to see if the price comes down again if you are not in a hurry.
