Bolder LC40

I have purchased, oh maybe a dozen of these Anker flashlights- Model LC40 ( only this model for review- they lump these together sometimes!). It is compact, very bright - even on medium bright- and the pocket clip is strong- I keep one hung on my shirt pocket(outside, it IS about 1" dia on bulb end, 3/4" dia the handle- too chubby to fit in my pocket with my other doodads for me). They are durable aluminum, having dropped on concrete floors dozens of times from my grip, not from ladder- perhaps a couple times) and still function great. This is not a focusing beam type, no moving parts. have oqned so many bc I have given some away to my family, glove compartments and a couple rooms in house- the strobe is quite strong- i think handy as part of the home self defense ( too short to be a weapon). These can sit in a drawer for weeks and weeks and still work great- i use mine lit for maybe 4-5 hrs a day (mostly on hi) and it rarely runs out of juice. The on/ off button will turn it off at current setting if you hold the button for 2 seconds, shorter than that just cycles to next function (hi, med,low, strobe , sos). Very pleased, and I have had one replaced with warranty that broke after two weeks (and one drop). Recommendation by a repair tech mechanic - me!

I've been hesitant to write a review because I don't want the makers to up the price because of too many people loving it. But as I read the reviews, it looks like pretty much everyone loves it as much as I do. By far, this is the all-time best flashlight I've ever gotten. Extremely bright. Long lasting battery. Durable metal body. Not too expensive. Lasts for years with no issues. The only things I would change if I could would be: •1) you have to cycle through a bunch (5) modes to get the darn thing to turn off •2) the button to turn off/on breaks after repeated use I've had this current one for just over a year and it's still working great. I've also boughten the black light that looks the same on the outside as the normal flashlight does. I, personally highly recommend this flashlight to friends, family, co-workers, strangers, and anyone else that will listen. Like I said, this is by far the BEST flashlight I've ever had.

I love it. I especially love it for the price. I would never carry this light because it's diameter increases near the emitter, the button is too small, and it has too many modes. It was however perfect for my dad who has needed a good flashlight for some time now. I was worried he would probably lose them on me so I never wanted to give him one of my $150+ snobby flashlights. I recently got one of the smaller anker lights and was impressed with it and gave him that but it's a pain for him to have an 18650 charger in his rv or try to find cr123a batteries in strores so as soon as I saw this as a lightning deal for $16 I knew I had to get it for him because of the micro usb charging. Like my smaller anker light it has a tight "hotspot" and a dimmer spill than I would like but it's still very bright and has excellent throw. Also it's worth noting that I think Anker is underrating the lumens as it is rated at 400 lumens but seems to be on par with 800 lumen flashlights from olight and surefire. My one 1050 lumen flashlight is definitely brighter and it's medium 400 lumen setting appears dimmer than the Anker. The button is very small due to the charging port being next to it but for what he will use it for that's actually a good thing because it will have less of a chance of getting turned on bouncing around in a box or bag in his rv or truck. The thing I like least about the light are the numerous modes. High, Med, Low, Strobe, SOS, off by button presses and a long press of the button will turn the flashlight off. That's kind of a lot to toggle through and I never use anything but high and medium on my other flashlights. If you turn it off with a long press it will remember the mode it was in when you turn it on again. I can't complain though. The price is SO good especially considering it has an internal battery and charger. My "snob" lights were all $150+ and batteries and chargers were sold separately and they are only a little bit better than this light (subjectively). It's just a great, solid, simple light without any hassle to get all the lumens at a great price.

The Anker Bolder flashlight is a great little flashlight to keep around the house or to take hiking. I have only owned the flashlight for about a week, but so far I have been very satisfied with it. The construction feels solid and not cheap or flimsy. I like the size of the flashlight as it is not overly large, but not so small that you will lose it or drop it easily. I mainly use it for hiking as it fits perfectly in the pocket on my Hazard 4 chest harness. It has 5 light modes, including 3 brightness settings. I find the medium setting to be sufficiently bright for most activities and even the lowest brightness setting is bright enough for indoor use. It also has a flashing strobe setting like many other lights do, I haven't found much use for this setting but it functions as it's supposed to. The last setting is an S.O.S. signal which I found unique and could particularly come in handy while hiking. The flash light is rechargable and all you need is a mini USB cable which you can plug in to a phone charger or computer. The flashlight has a small LED light on the bottom that let's you know when it is fully charged. I haven't gotten it very wet yet so I can't say how weather resistant it is, but I did hike to a water fall where my clothes got soaked through from the spray coming off the water fall and I was carrying the flashlight in my Hazard 4 chest harness. It still functioned fine afterwards. My only complaint, and it's a minor one, is that you have to fully depress the button to turn it on. With some other lights you can just lightly press the button and the light will activate and deactivate as soon as you let go. This feature is desirable if you are in law enforcement, or the military, where you may need to quickly turn the light on or off. This is the only reason I give the flashlight 4 instead of 5 stars. For this price tho you really can't go wrong purchasing this flashlight.

The Anker Rechargeable Bolder LC90 LED flashlight is an exceptional product that I highly recommend. This flashlight is not only powerful and durable, but also rechargeable, making it an eco-friendly and cost-effective choice. First of all, the brightness of this flashlight is simply amazing. With its high-performance LED bulb, the Anker Rechargeable Bolder LC90 is able to produce up to 900 lumens of light, making it perfect for outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, and hunting. Additionally, the adjustable focus allows you to zoom in for intense spotlighting or zoom out for a wider illumination range. The durability of this flashlight is also noteworthy. The aluminum body and shatter-resistant lens make it incredibly rugged and able to withstand even the toughest conditions. And with its waterproof design, you don't have to worry about it getting damaged in the rain or accidental submersion. Perhaps the best feature of the Anker Rechargeable Bolder LC90 LED flashlight is its rechargeability. You don't need to keep buying and replacing batteries, just recharge it with the included micro-USB cable. The rechargeable battery provides up to 6 hours of continuous use on a single charge, so you can be confident that it will last through even the longest outdoor adventures. Overall, I highly recommend the Anker Rechargeable Bolder LC90 LED flashlight to anyone in need of a reliable, high-quality flashlight. It's powerful, durable, and eco-friendly, making it a great investment for any outdoor enthusiast.

I purchased this flashlight over 2 years ago after going through multiple different lights at work. I work in a wet, hot and dusty environment and use this flashlight on and off for 10+ hours a day. The battery life is great! I only have to charge it once every 2 weeks. The lens is real sapphire glass, not that cheap plastic that fades and scratches easy. It's small enough to hold in your mouth if the situation calls for it but heavy enough to know that it's in your pocket. This light comes with 5 different light functions. High, med,, low, SOS and stone. I usually use Med at work. I did use the SOS function during an auto accident to alert oncoming traffic one time. It comes with a built-in clip to clip it on your pocket but I removed the Clip and bought a belt holder for easier access at work. The first charge will take a bit but after that it's faster to charge. I have never had a problem with the function button or the USB power port cover. If/when this light finally goes out I will definitely be buying the exact same one. This is the best flashlight that I myself have ever used and do recommend it to anyone needing a small but very bright and long lasting light.

08/16/2019: I'm keeping the review at five stars for now, but the light died on me yesterday on the job. No warning or indication; it just stopped working. I thought maybe I'd run the battery down somehow, but that wasn't the case. So I contacted their warranty support. That took a little doing, as you have to find a support page and a phone number (800-988-7973). Once you find that, you are going to need your original order number and serial number of the light. I know this sounds cumbersome, but I deal with warranty issues at work on a regular basis, so this is pretty normal in my book. Once she had that, the support representative told me they would have a new light out to me in 5-10 business days. OK. So now I'm waiting for my new light and looking forward to seeing how long it holds up. I wanted a rechargeable light for my toolkit, as I was tired of going through AAA's with my other LED light. This unit is compact; more so that the LC90 that I got for each of our kids for Christmas a while back. It also isn't as bright, but that doesn't mean it isn't BRIGHT. As I am generally working in tight, dark spaces on various boats and under helms, I find the lower settings to be more than sufficient. I also 'learned' that a long press on the switch shuts the light off, keeping the last setting. A nice feature. The light does get pretty warm when it is on for extended periods of time. I hope this doesn't affect the longevity of the light. That said, recharging is simple and can be done overnight, or while driving in my truck between jobs. The pocket clip is nice, keeping the light securely in place when I'm working. I've managed to drop it a number of times already, with no apparent damage to the light or functionality. One small issue I noted is when clipped in my pants pocket, it is easy to bump the switch inadvertently, turning the light on in my pocket. I may have to put some sort of rubber cap on the end to keep that from happening. Otherwise, all in all, a great light for a great price.

I've seen a lot of good things said about this flashlight, so when it came time to replace my previous light, I figured I'd give this a try. In short, I was VERY surprised! I immediately opened the packaging and removed the flashlight and proceeded to turn it on, expecting the unit to either have a low battery and dead battery, resulting in a very dim light. I turned it on and WOW. Exceptionally bright and comparable to my Sure Fire light. High Beam, Medium Beam, Low Beam, Strobe, SOS, Off. When on, press and hold button for 1-2 seconds to power off without needing to cycle through all the settings. There's also a memory, so when you power it off and back on, it's on the same setting as when the unit was powered off. I played with it for a little, going through various modes in the hopes of getting used to the light before tossing it on a charger to top it up. Upon connecting the USB cable to charge the flashlight, a red light emitted from the tail end. It was dim enough not to be obtrusive, but just bright enough to let you know it's there; perfect. I checked on the light every 20-30minutes wondering if when the unit would finally be fully charged. 5 hours later, the light was blue. My initial thought was "hmm either my charger is slow or the flashlight was near dead". I gave the light another test and it was a bit brighter the before. I was stunned! This light is truly bright and throws light quite well. My only complaints are that the clip feels strong, but its attaching point feels flimsy. I'd also like to be able to focus and spread the light beam. The power/function button isn't the best. Sometimes presses don't always register. Short of that, the unit is fully sealed, which means once the internal rechargeable battery fails, I'll need to get anew flashlight, but this also helps the unit's water resistance. The clicking sound of the button is there, but not annoyingly loud. The button is also a bit clumsy as pressing it doesn't always register with the flashlight. Overall, not perfect, but great quality and performance for the price. 4.5/5

This is a fantastic little handheld torch! Its beam rivals Mag-Tac and exceeds Mini-Mag but there is no beam zoom control. The crowned bezel and tail make it a great torch to carry for personal safety and the selectable modes (3 brightness, a strobe and an SOS) makes it very practical. The button on the tail cap is a bit fiddly to make room for the micro USB charging port but it’s not worth taking a star off it. However, in conjunction with the way the modes are selected, it nearly does lose that star. You have to cycle through the modes: this would benefit from Mag-lite’s quick click or something similar, as mode selection can be a faff. You can turn it on at the most recent setting by holding the button for a second from the off position, but it’s an inconvenience when there could be another way. However, it is not expensive so you can’t have everything for that money. Good warranty as with other Anker products, great quality feel and durable design. Powerful LED and useful built in clip too. I found the clip to be very sturdy, but its design is for convenience of access, not stability of mounting on Belt or bags and I found that it kept getting knocked off. As a side benefit, I can attest to its ruggedness as it has hit the ground numerous times, both from my belt and from the RSM radio loop on my duty jacket.

Bright

Great quality, sharp LED torch. Beam is not adjustable, bilut the light is great. Nice and compact lightweight.

Buena calidad

Es una linterna potente, con 4 opciones diferentes ( luz fuerte, luz baja, luz de emergencia, luz de naufragio ) producida con materiales muy buenos y esteticamente muy linda. Anker es una marca que no me ha desilusionado nunca. Recomiendo este producto.
