Forrader C12 CREE XM-L2 U3 Super-bright LED Flashlight Torch Light with Tail Button Switch Controlled by 5-mode, Black(Flashlight Only)

This product came well packaged in a cardboard box and bubble wrapped. Inside is obviously the torch along with a hand strap. The size of the torch is perfect for my needs and very easy to carry. It is made from very high quality aluminium and has a good bit of weight to it so could be used for breaking glass in emergencies, or hitting a would be attacker... The build quality is excellent with a powerful clear beam. The reflector is smooth which allows it to have an extended throw of several 100s of meters when on medium beam and even further if used on the blindingly powerful high mode. When on high mode the torch does emit a fair amount of heat however due to the multiple heat sinking fins the torch seems capable and dealing with the extra heat emitted. It has 5 modes which are very easy to switch between using the rear reverse clicky switch. It has a nice click to it when pressed and can also be half pressed to cycle through the modes. Additionally the torch has a built in memory mode which will remember the previous mode used when turned back on which is extremely useful and a feature lacking from many of the cheaper branded torches. It uses 3.7v 18650 batteries which fit nicely inside the torch. When inside it's good to go straightaway. The batteries last a good amount of time and should be more than enough to last several days especially with the different modes which will allow you to have an extended usage time albeit with a reduction in lumens. The flashlight offers very good value given its performance and very low price. I'd Highly recommend considering this torch due to it's many useful features and high quality.

I have bought a few of these XM-l2 torches because I have always been impressed with their strong beam output. They throw out a strong bright spot beam rather then a flood. Pointing it down my suburban street I can light up houses 100 yards away. It is a very good solid torch and has 3 switch modes to adjust brightness ie strong /medium /low also an sos and flicker mode which is very blinding. It takes an 18650 type rechargeable battery so be aware these are not normal shop types. You can buy these quite cheaply online but they aren't much good ( red or blue colour's) best buy the brand names such as Panasonic which are expensive at around £8 per battery but believe Me they are the best. They will power this torch continuously for 4-5 hours as I tested it. Cheaper batteries lasted an hour in comparison . I would recommend this torch if you are searching for a strong very bright light that reaches a long distance

Fantastic torch, amazing brightness from it, it's so bright you sometimes can't shine it directly on an item and have to shine it away but that's not a bad thing! Yes this takes unusual batteries but they can be re charges so they're worth paying the extra money for them!

Very happy with this torch. Well finished, nice to hold and appears to have a genuine Cree XM-L2 U3 LED

Had this torch for over a year and worked OK until the bulb packed in. Have had problems sourcing a replacement bulb and contacted Forrader only to to be informed that they do not supply bulbs. Seems a bit strange that the manufacturer can't supply this and has put me off buying a replacement torch.

I have LED Lenser torches that have been going for over over 5 years, no issues with them. Was tempted by the claims made for this one but none are true, the light is not very bright and the torch is so heavy and unbalanced that it is difficult to handle. The quality of the switch is questionable as it flicks around all by itself through the various settings. More recently it goes off completely when you might need it the most, in the dark.

Poor flash light. The body and build quality is ok for a budget light, it is not waterproof as advertised. My main gripe is the advertised lumins. I have looked over the light and yes it looks like it has an xm-l2 u3 diode but the driver (mini circuit board) is only supplying about half power 1500ma. Better off putting money towards a real c12/c8!

Questa "Forrader C12 CREE XM-L2 U3 Super-bright 2000 lumen LED Torcia torcia con coda pulsante interruttore Controllato da 5-mode, Nero (Flashlight Only)" che mi appresto a recensire è una torcia tattica dalle qualità davvero sorprendente! Dotata di un Led XM-L2 ad alta luminosità, permette un ampia illuminazione nelle più oscure condizioni di luce, ma con delle precisazioni: Non essendo dotata di un regolatore di zoom, ed avendo un semplice proiettore fisso, il fascio di luce non sarà ne concentrato e ne troppo diffuso, potendo quindi illuminare solo distanze relativamente brevi, entro i 100 metri. La luce risulta essere molto chiara e limpida, tendendo al bianco/azzurro freddo, verso i 5000 Kelvin, quindi visibile anche in piena luce solare (3000 Kelvin), e pertanto altamente accecante (quindi MAI rivolgerla verso l'occhio umano od animale!!), e soprattutto regolabile in termini di luminosità e funzionalità, in quanto schiacciando leggermente il tasto ON/OFF sarà possibile passare alla modalità di luminosità 1/2/3, SOS e lampeggiante rispettivamente. Inoltre, i materiali esterni sono di elevatissima qualità e resistenza, composti principalmente da leghe in alluminio antigraffio, antiruggine ed antiurto, a comporre un involucro totalmente indistruttibile ed impermeabile (data la presenza di guarnizioni sigillanti in ogni apertura). Dopo approfonditi test, per meglio far comprendere i dettagli tecnici del prodotto, seguono alcuni risultati: …………………….1000mA………1500mA……….2000mA XM-L T6…………..388………………551………………602 XM-L2……………..385………………541………………631 XP-L V6……………500………………650………………806 Come è possibile vedere, prendendo come campione di base una torcia XM-L T6 (una delle più vendute su Amazon), il led XM-L2 montato da questa torcia ivi venduta risulta essere totalmente alla pari della predecessore rispetto ogni assorbimento di corrente, superandola nel caso di luce al massimo; per chi non è in grado di comprendere i dati fisici qui esposti, essi esprimono come a parità di corrente assorbita a luminosità bassa (1000mAh), media (1500mAh) od alta (2000mAh), la torcia XM-L2 qui venduta rende quasi alla pari o maggiormente in termini di luminosità (per esempio 602 vs 631, e così via). In mezzo ai dati è presente anche la casistica di XP-L V6, led di nuova generazione, che resta superiore a questo XM-L2 in ogni caso, ma ciò non inficia l'ottima qualità del led di questa torcia in questa fascia di prezzo. Tolto di mezzo il discorso sui led, entra in gioco un fattore da non sottovalutare: La rifrazione. Infatti, il led di questa particolare torcia è racchiuso in una plafoniera conica la quale, grazie alla sua forma ed al materiale di cui è composta, riesce ad amplificare la luce del led mediante rifrazione, riuscendo così a far emettere dalla torcia lumen 3 volte superiori a quelli emessi dal solo led, in modo da riuscire ad avere, rispettivamente: …………………….1000mA………1500mA……….2000mA TORCIA……………1187……………1674……………1908 e ciò rende questa torcia la più potente presente nel listino Forrader. Per quanto visto e per quanto detto, mi sento di consigliare il prodotto a tutti coloro che cercano un torcia da tenere sempre con se, date le ridotte dimensioni, senza paura di rovinarla grazie ai materiali pregiati di cui è fatta. Spero che questa recensione possa essere stata esauriente per tutte le perplessità dovute all'utilizzo possibile del prodotto. Ps: A seguire, alcune foto del prodotto.

No entiendo la razón de gente que dice que ilumina igual que otras tipo 800lm.. Sinceramente les da un buen repaso, ya hace meses que la tengo y ilumina bastante más que otras de mayor precio y lógicamente mucho más que otras t6 etc etc, la utilizo para paseos por campo de noche, pasear con perros, alcance 300m sin despeinarse, sinceramente la mejor compra que pude hacer de 3 modelos distintos que pedí que se suponían tenían iguales características... Quieres una buena linterna sin gastar pasta gansa.. Mira videos en Internet que te ayudan mucho a ver lo q puede dar de sí esta linterna a precio bajo.

Lampe torche Forrader créé xm l2 u3. Très puissante. Ne chauffe que très peu. Combinée avec une Panasonic 18650 autonomie très grande. Je l ai depuis au moins 2 ans sans soucis. Utilisée tout les jours.

Wer die Lieferung in einer schicken, gepolsterten Geschenkschatulle wie z.B. bei den Thrunite-Lampen erwartet wird enttäuscht sein, die Forrader C12 kommt in einem schnöden, labbrigen weißen Pappkarton ins Haus, zwar in einer Luftpolstertüte verpackt, ansonsten ohne Anleitung, Gürtelholster oder Ersatzteilen (O-Rings) wie die Thrunite TN11SV2, die hier mit einer identisch verbauten Cree XM-L2 als Vergleichsmodell dienen soll, sie ist aber auch ca. 25 EUR teurer als die Forrader... Der Preis von unter 20 EUR war für mich entscheidend für eine günstige Zweit-Lampe á la der TN11... Die Länge entspricht exakt der der TN11, sie liegt trotz der 8 groß dimensionierten Kühlrippen rund um den Reflektor (der selbst ca. 5 mm breiter ist als bei der TN11) gut in der Hand und besteht aus hartanodisiertem Flugzeugaluminium. Betrieben mit einem (NICHT im Lieferumfang enthaltenen!) Kraftmax 18650-Akku stehen insgesamt fünf Lichtmodi zur Verfügung: stark, mittel, schwach, sowie den für diese Lampen wohl unvermeidlichen SOS- und Strobomodi, ich kann auf diese verzichten... Auf jeden Fall merkt sich die Elektronik den letzt benutzen Modus und schaltet diesen auch wieder ein. In der Praxis überzeugt die Forrader mit einem sauber begrenztem Spotkegel, sowie einem ebenso sauberen Floodbereich - oder um es wie in einem YT-Video eines Lampenshops zu nennen: man kann mit dem Spot seinen entlaufenen Hund im Wald suchen, sieht aber auch noch den Weg auf dem man gerade geht... Ob es nun tatsächlich 2.000 Lumen sind lasse ich mal dahingestellt, Tatsache ist dass im maximalen Leuchtmodus der Fokus doch subjektiv einen wahrnehmbaren Tick stärker/heller ist als der der Thrunite! So bekommt die Forrader von mir letztendlich auch fünf Sterne, auch trotz einfach(st)er Verpackung oder fehlendem Gürtelholster, denn sie überzeugt mit durchaus wertiger Verarbeitung, guter Haptik, starker Lichtleistung - und letztendlich über den attraktiven Preis.

First off I am a flashaholic, and I own the best olight, eagletac, fenix, nitecore, thrunite, etc. This low budget flashlight can go head to head with the best I mean it says 2000 lumens it's pretty dam close for a low budget flashlight, this flashlight has some super amazing throw and brightness, and please note it does not come with an 18650 battery which is a rechargeable, so just get freaking battery and buy this flashlight and you'll see for yourself how kick-ass this light is!! Update.... This flashlight is a serious powerhouse for 20 dollars, I'm really impressed with it, the flashlight performs like a champ, I use the best batteries which are Panasonic 18650 3400 mah and it shines like a champ and last long, I would definitely recommend this flashlight, it's got some serious booty for a low budget flashlight! I forgot to mention, this flashlight also runs on two cr123 batteries and 16340 rechargeables!
