Anker LC90 LED Flashlight, IP65 Water-Resistant, Zoomable, Rechargeable, Pocket-Sized Torch (for Camping, Hiking and Emergency Use) with 900 Lumens CREE LED, 5 Light Modes

First of all, if you're undecided about getting this, the LC40 or the LC130, I can tell you right now that I think the LC90 is the way to go. Essentially, the LC90 sits right in the middle in terms of how powerful the beam of light is, and the price. I think the LC90 will be powerful enough for most situations, with the LC130 being overkill (for the price) unless you specifically need a very powerful torch. So I believe this LC90 will offer the best value for money. I had high expectations since this is yet another Anker purchase of mine, and I wasn't disappointed. As is now typical from Anker, the torch arrived beautifully packaged and presented. The micro usb cable used for charging comes included so the torch arrives with everything you need (micro usb is a great universal solution, but I had hoped that USB C would be included here instead). The build quality is excellent, it really feels like a premium device in your hands. The added water resistance is a really nice addition - one less thing to think about when using this outdoors in the rain. The torch exudes a powerful beam of light when focussed (the ability to switch between wide and focussed modes is great, and the sliding mechanism works well). Battery life has also been excellent so far, and the ability to recharge the torch is great. The convenience of not having to replace the batteries is excellent, I'll never go back now to non-rechargeables now. The button to activate the torch is located in the tail cap and gives a really nice 'clicky' response - you won't accidentally knock this and turn on the torch by mistake. The different light modes probably won't ever be needed but it's great that these are included. The torch has a 'memory' effect and will remember the last mode that you were using. There are a lot of really smart 'hidden' technologies packed into here as well that are really useful: overcharge protection, anodising, thermal protection, smart illumination control chip etc. I would say though that the screw-cap design for both the battery compartment and for accessing the micro usb charging port could have been better designed. The two are stacked on top of each other, so when you go to unscrew the torch to access one of them, you might accidentally unscrew the other too. This didn't always happen though and since the battery life is so great you shouldn't often need to access this anyway. Not only do you get an 18 month guarantee but you'll also have access to Anker's brilliant customer support - they've always been extremely helpful and quick to resolve any issues in the past. I make reviews every day and have tested many different torches over the years. If you're after one, the Anker's LC90 won't let you down.

Bought this for my son to take on a school residential as my 1200 lumens CREE torch would be a little too big for an 8yr old. REALLY surprised at how well it performed. I'll admit I didn't really read the specs of the torch when I bought it as I just wanted something from a decent brand for under £30. Very surprised that this torch was rechargeable via a microUSB cable. The battery is an Anker branded, protected 3350 mah, lithium ion battery which is protected with an IPX5 rating to ensure that the electronics are protected by the elements even when raining. I would suspect that its would be protected if dropped into puddle too. It came well presented in a sturdy box containing the torch, battery (with a manufacturing date), micro USB charging cable, a lanyard, and a easy to understand manual. - The lanyard didn't contain a tightener so I purchased a separate pack for extra security from a different seller - http://amzn.eu/h2u6IVh To operate the torch, there is a button on the tail cap. A firm press turns the torch on but to switch between the various lighting settings is a little more fiddly. With a half press followed by a full click of the button you cycle through the modes. There seems to be a variation of flashing modes and standard lighting with varying degrees of brightness. I really think that this torch is a bright as you would ever need in any situation, I am sure that with the right adapters, you would even be able to attach it to the front of your bike at night or day to make sure that you were visible to other road users. Unsure of the run time yet as I haven't used the charge that was in the battery on arrival, but we've had a full weekend away in Wales and its still not flat. Very impressed so far ! The quality of the torch is very well finished, my only gripe is that is doesn't come with a storage case to protect the outer finished from being scratched (when in storage) as its far too nicely finished to be ruined by an accident The torch has a zoom operation in which you focus the head forwards and backwards very much like a telephoto lens on a DSLR Camera, it has a fair bit of resistance to it so you can tell its a quality product. The zoom functionality is very much like used on LED Lenser and FELT Torches Very decent price considering the quality of the proctuct and that comes with an 18mth Guarantee too. Might look to replace my BIG torch now with an ANKER rechargable product :) And to amuse you all, i've just found out that my 8yr old only needs the torch for reading in the evenings, I thought they might have been doing late evening walks through the woodland :) Maybe this torch may have been just a tad OTT ! lol

Anker LC90 LED Flashlight. This torch is amazing and such good value considering the high quality aluminium construction and bright light that it emits. The pros are 1. LED bulb with 3 brightness settings, strobing and SOS flash 2. Very good quality made from strong aluminium 3. Rechargeable with supplied high capacity lithium battery 4. Water resistant rated at IP65 5. Pocket sized 6. Lightweight without compromising quality 7. Zoomable so you can focus the light to a specific spot The cons are 1. Power button to the rear but I suppose this prevents accidental switching on or off while carrying 2. The process of cycling through the different modes can be a little annoying 3. Can get a little hot on the brightest setting but you will rarely need it that bright I've been using this torch for 18 months now and it's still going strong. I mainly use it for walks through the countryside or on the beach after the suns gone down and a couple of camping trips. Battery life seems good, though I mainly using it on lowest brightness as this is enough for general use and used it for a good 4 hours+ without any problems. I take the battery out to recharge on a 18650 battery charger that I have for my vape device and would recommend doing this as it gives a much better full charge. You can get the charger for around £10 from Amazon. Overall good quality, good value and perfect for seeing clearly in the dark. Recommended.

Great torch that provides plenty of light in either a focused or spread beam. I love that it is rechargeable via USB too and carried around an Anker USB charger when I went camping to keep both my phone and my torch going. The torch didn't need it though as it lasts a good amount of time off a single charge. It feels well made too. It's not too heavy but it feels sturdy enough to give a sense of quality and that it won't break too easily. The only negative is changing the mode. I often find myself changing the mode accidentally somehow, and going from the dullest setting into flashing or strobe light mode. I hope this is improved for future interactions as it's the only feature about this that lets it down. I'd highly recommend it.

This is a review of the Anker LC90, I have bought this with my own money. I've been looking for a USB rechargeable LED torch for a while, steering clear of the cheaper end of the market with dubious Chinese lithium batteries of unknown quality and associated fire hazards. I cannot justify the prices at higher end of the market for what is just a torch. I stumbled upon this torch from Anker when I received an email from them for a one day sale, showing this torch with £5 off, making it £20, and very affordable so I ordered it. I have bought a few Anker powerbanks over the years so I had a reasonably high expectation of what the torch would be like, and I wasn't disappointed. It came well presented in a sturdy box containing the torch, battery (with a manufacturing date of only the previous month), micro USB charging cable, a lanyard, and a easy to understand manual. The battery is a Anker branded, protected 3350 mah, lithium ion battery. It is inserted into the torch by removing the tail cap, and then a secondary cap, and following the polarity sticker on the inside of the casing, and refitting the secondary cap. This is something you only need to do when new, and I suppose when the battery is worn out. You charge the torch by removing the waterproof tail cap and plugging the supplied micro USB cable into the port. A red led changes to green once charged. This took about 4 hours from first charge with a 1.5 amp sony charger from my phone. The Tail cap is retained to the torch with a little lanyard, which is a nifty feature to save you losing it. A button on the tail cap turns it on, and wow, a very bright white, light with the slightest blue tinge. Comparing it to other led torches I have, I've no reason to believe it's not the 900 Lumens as quoted. Switching between modes is not quite as intuitive as you would expect, with half presses and full clicks means you need to cycle through the full range of modes more than you should, to arrive at the setting you want. Medium setting is slightly dimmer than full, and low slightly less again. In my opinion the low could ideally be lower still, (and a moonlight setting would be fantastic) but you do need to remember the price point of this torch. I doubt you ever realistically need a brighter torch. I've not fully tested the runtime yet, but a few hours use on full whilst camping at the weekend would suggest again that the 6 hours stated is about right. The torch itself is very well finished, with high quality anodising with a good knurled grip, the zoom action is smooth easy to operate one handed. The zoom from spot to flood is well implemented, being similar to anyone used to a led lenser torch. In summary a bargain at the price, rechargeable, and very bright with Anker 18 month guarantee. You won't be disappointed. I just hope that the bigger lc130 makes it to Amazon UK.

So, I went through the top 10 flashlights of 2018 and I found this one. The article said "quality and price" so I said to myself why not. 1. The LC90 comes in a nice convenient and well made package. Great price too! 2. The LC90 is really well made and looks good! You can feel that you are holding a tool in your hand rather than a flimsy/cheap flashlight. 3. The light beam it emits is really strong and long. Also the 5 modes + zoom add to its overall usefulness. 4. The battery seems to be of solid quality but It will have to pass the test of time/charges. It comes fully charged and ready for first use. 5. The strap is well made and strong. The cap hook is metal and can take other straps or para-cords of your liking for stronger securing. Overall 5/5. Excellent product and excellent seller. Some ideas: 1. An LC90 belt pouch would we awesome. There are many different torchlight pouches out there but a product specific would be great. 2. The LED bulb and overall front could use protection when tucked away, in the form of a clip-on-cap (plastic or rubber) like professional targeting scopes have. This product deserves that extra protection. 3. A simple, product specific interface for PC/laptop/tablet to monitor charge rate. Not that it is necessary, it just would be cool to monitor the progress while you do other stuff on the computer.

Good value. It's hard to find a well-built, reliable torch these days, that isn't sold as a ridiculous £80+ luxury item, as opposed to a simple, early 20th century tool built with modern technology and components. This fits that niche for me. It's solid, well built, well designed (in terms of usability), compact, yet (reasonably) powerful, uses modern lithium-ion battery tech, and includes USB charging built-in. It's SEEMED a bit unfortunate that you have to unscrew the back to charge the thing, BUT it's actually not so bad, given how easily it unscrews, how the part that unscrews is still tied so you can't lose it on a campsite, and I definitely prefer that to little rubber USB port caps that are bound to break after repeated use. The zoom functionality and the charge indicator LED is appreciated, too. Overall, it's a solid product, and a solid purchase. You may want to get hold of a separate li-ion-capable battery charger and a spare battery or two for it eventually, rather than relying on the internal USB charger alone, but that depends on how much you'll need it, and where you'll need it (at home, or away).

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.

Klein, hell, Akku hält sehr lange, perfekt die abendliche Hunderunde

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.
