I review the RovyVon E30 Pro tactical EDC flashlight. It has a tactical function producing 3,500 lumens!
*IMPORTANT Update: the proximity sensor can be disabled by pressing and holding the EDC switch for 10 seconds. Light can also be locked out by pressing the EDC switch 5x quickly. I didn't mention this in the video.
RovyVon provided me with a sample of this flashlight for review. I was not paid to make this video, nor have I held back on any negative opinions of this flashlight.

Rovyvon E30 Pro - Flat Tactical Flashlight? All-in-one tactical, EDC, multipurpose light Video Transcript
General thoughts after a week of usage/size comparison/practicality/interesting things:
• So there are a few of these flat-style EDC flashlights, but today I'm reviewing one that's a bit different… the RovyVon E30 Pro. This is a light that combines multiple EDC features like auxiliary lights, with an impressive 3500-lumen tactical mode. With the included 3000 mAh battery, this is one of the few lights of this style that can handle a longer trip.
• What's in the box? Lanyard, USB-C charging cable, spare USB-C port cover. I have the MAO version of this light which features red, white and UV aux LEDs. The black version has 3x white aux LEDs.
• Comparisons with Olight Arkfield Pro, Wurkkos HD01, Sofirn IF24
Overall Construction, LED, lens, bezel and reflector
• The first thing that sticks out to me is the coating - it's a light grayish color that feels surprisingly grippy. Micro-arc oxidating coatings like these are uncommon in the flashlight industry and really makes this light stand out visually. The rectangular design is both easy to hold and pocket. It feels more comfortable than any of my tube lights, except for the smaller AA ones. Clip near the back for a tactical style carry - easy access to the turbo switch. There's onboard USB-C charging too. Buttons are made of metal and separate the function of the various LEDs. Dual stage tactical switch + EDC mode switch. The side switch is recessed and operates AUX LEDs.
• Dual LEDs (maybe SST40s) in the head paired with dual TIR lens. There is also a proximity sensor in the head. Red, 4500K warm white, and 365nm UV. Four battery indicator lights.
• There is a 3000mAh battery in this light! Impressive considering how small it is. The Nitecore EDC27 has around half the capacity at 1700mAh.
UI - modes
• TAC - half press for turbo, full press for strobe
• EDC - double press for memory, single press from there to cycle ECO, LMH. From off - single press or hold for ECO.
• AUX - press once for white low, press again for high. Double press for red, single press for high, beacon, strobe.
Performance - total output, beam profile, longevity, practicality
• Ceiling bounce test, CRI, CCT
• Large, even hotspot with tons of spill to illuminate a wider area. Impressive throw for its size, esp. for a flat light.
Considerations
• Non-replaceable battery - it's high capacity though so should hold up longer than other options out there.
• Can't deactivate the proximity sensor. This makes it less tactical in my opinion if a threat is close by. But it also makes it safer to store as there is no lock function. 3500 lumens will burn a hole in clothing easily.
• No magnet in tail/hands-free use. Would be hard to implement with the tactical switch.
Verdict
I never thought I'd buy into this kind of flashlight - I’m more old school and still prefer tube-style lights, but this one is pretty amazing because it's so versatile. On one hand, it has a 200+m range and 3500 lumen output which is more than enough for self-defense, but also has lower modes that are separated out for general EDC use + all these AUX modes which are useful for low light / extended use scenarios. I'm not a fan of some of these lights that have low-capacity batteries squeezed in there, so am glad this one is at least 3000mAh which is unusual. If you can deal with the considerations I mentioned before, I'd recommend it. It's an excellent quality, do-it-all flashlight that is adaptable to almost any situation. - Věda a technologie
If you press and hold the edc switch (the tall tail switch) for more than 10 seconds it will then flash 3 times and disable the proximity sensor. That's what I did with mine and it says how to in the manual as well. Also the light does lockout. Just have to rapid tap the same EDC tall button 5 times.
Thanks for that man, that will probably change the game for a few people watching this. I updated the video description.
@DarrenYeoYT you're welcome! After I heard you mention it I quickly pulled up my manual because I could've sworn you could turn off the sensor. I'm glad that worked, love the light!
Thanks man I want trying to light up the guy doing donuts at 1 am outside my house but the window kept triggering the proximity sensor.
Lockout and disabling the proximity sensor are both available. Love the light and your reviews
Thanks mate, yep I added this into the video description after - missed the bottom part of the manual 😅
appreciate your reviews and insights. Really enjoying this light
Would be interesting to see it side by side with the original lights the body design was "borrowed" from - Nitecore EDC 27 / EDC 25
Yeah they look sorta similar. One big difference is battery capacity (double in the E30 Pro)
Dude, your review video is awesome, can you review the YC8001 flat flashlight? I want to know what you think of it before I decide whether to buy it or not😁😁
Thanks mate, I haven't heard of the YC8001 until now. Reminds me of the Wurkkos HD01. Because it's a relatively new brand, I can't comment much on it but if you can get it for a decent price, might be worth the gamble.
That beam profile is perfect for EDC. They got this right!
Pretty throwy too. I do wish there was a proper ML mode though.
I'm glas finally you make a review for this. I think E30 Pro is better flat flashlight compare to EDC 27 / 25, Arkfeld, and Arkflex.
Yeah it's my favourite of the lot too.
Is it the same size as those competitors?
Also the side lights on this design provide questionable utility. For white light to be useful I need a way to fix the light to something. Unlike Auroras with magnets all around, this one does not have that. The red is also more useful for me when pointed in the direction of the main light. These days I mostly use red filters on the lights with standard size bezels, but I have a few lights from a gone era like Nitecore P18 that have a red LED to complement a main one.
Be ok as a dim walking light, clipped to the front pocket
that's a very good size for edc..not the other one which are too long😅😅😅
wish they will release other colors such as black👍
Thanks for watching! They do have a black version but it comes with two white LEDs and UV I think.
love it
Is the back of the light so horrible that you won't show it? I wanted to see what kind of clip it had but that was impossible.
Hmm, I thought I did show it. Guess not. Nothing wrong with the back, might wanna google it or check their website.
How much does it weigh?
I don't have a scale, but 89 grams apparently.
Please tell me this isn't actually 118€, cause it's what the sites showing me. Such a beauty though. Thanks for the upload and i appreciate your replies 🫶
Hi mate, yeah it's not cheap. Might want to shop around on different sites. I hear you guys have to pay import taxes as well!? That's new for me, I've never had to for personal purchases like this.
There’s a German site (selected-lights) that sells it for €95.
Mukama also has it for €90
oh right it looks like big A includes import in the price. wurkkos so far did the opposite: they paid the import tax and did not charge me extra. such angels! i saw a similar light at wurkkos, might get that instead 😁
How do you change the battery ?.............
Don't awnser that. Well at lest it's cheap.
