Boruit V10 Review compared to the V3 EDC light
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 07. 2023
- The Boruit V10 is a newer version of the V3, that everyone loves. It now has more functions, a little bit larger package, and in the same price range as the V3. If you have and enjoyed the ease of use of the V3, be prepared as the V10, has the buttons reversed. The V10 uses the same main LED's as the V3, however adds a UV light to the front, instead of the side. Both lights use a type C charge cable, and a short cable does come with it. The V3 glow in the dark feature on the clear case versions, is significantly brighter and last much much longer than the newer V10. The light still doesn't have a clip.
IMHO, the V10 has a lot of filler functions, like a buzzer that's not loud, and difficult to use, as you have to hold the button down to make the noise. The V10 also has green and soft white leds, but I cannot come up for a use for them. However the V10 has one redeeming aspect for me, the powerful UV light on the front, so its easy to check money, and places that need to be dusted. The UV light on the V3 was on the side, and only strong enough to illuminate the case.
Here is my review of the Boruit V3, which was my 1st gear review on this channel:

Thank you. Couldn’t figure out the uv light to save my life.
Your welcome.
thanks man, was negotiating with my mom about getting this for Christmas and she agreed, can't wait.
I hope it serves you well.
The Boruit V7 has the pocket clip best of both worlds it’s my favorite of the bunch!!! Great video by the way…
Thank you. The V7 does indeed have the clip, but I didn't like the 3 center led's on the side and nothing on the tail ends. I do have a V7 though, maybe i should do a review on that too.
@@Survival-gyver Yes you should do that review as well also the magnet on the V7 is weaker I guess it’s more comparable to the Wuban G2 I have that one as well awesome keychain light…
I will release the review of the v7 on July 22nd. And maybe a comparison of the v3/v7/v10 on Monday the 24th. Just found the clip for the v7, and unfortunately, it doesn't fit the v3, nor the v10.
Thanks for the video, exactly the info I was looking for.
Your welcome. Thanks for watching.
Found your channel looking for videos about the V3. Nice to see you covering the V10. Had no idea it even existed. The V10 honestly doesn't seem that great. The V3 is pretty much the size of a key fob and just works better for my use cases.
Some video feedback: Nice review/comparison, good job with the description. I think if you divided up your videos with chapters/timestamps they could be a bit easier. For example just divide up the video from when you're unboxing or I find that it helps format reviews better. If you get a chance adding a simple thumbnail would be nice too, it
just takes a few minutes in Photoshop!
Thank you for the response. I agree that the V10 doesn't seem that great, its as if Boruit added functions without any rhyme or reason.
As for dividing up the video, I've done time stamps before where the video gets divided, but I have been having issues with YT about it. YT tends to reprocess my video's every so often, making the time stamps then be in the wrong places. Unfortunately, I don't know when there is an issue until someone tells me, and that may be months later. But i will keep it in mind, Thank you.
@@Survival-gyver definitely agree. I wish they did a V.3.1 instead with something like a pocket clip or other features.
Amazing review, watching from Bangladesh ❤️
Thank you.
Same!
Great review.
I went with the V10 because I want a bigger battery and I don't mind a bit of size increase, quite happy with it for now. The only con I have is that it gets pretty warm, but it's to be expected with such a small torch, especially since it's so cheap
I still wish it came with a pocket clip though.
@@Survival-gyver while that'd be cool, most people (including me) will be using it on their key chain
also, V7 does, but you already know that
@@reetsa4203 i would still want the clip anyway, would be convenient and just more useful.
@@rom-ps2uo V15 just released, upgraded version and it has a clip
@@reetsa4203 i searched it, i believe you, but im polish so i use a site called allegro for all my online shopping needs, i don't see it, maybe i'll get it next year
Very nice video!
Thank you very much!
the video was very well done and the content was very engaging and impressive.I like your video and subscribe you .by the way ,i have purchase a boruit v7 mini flashlight ,it has a pocket clip
Thank you. I do have the v7 as well, and haven't decided to do a review on it yet. Though the v7 does have the clip, it doesn't fit the v3 nor the v10. On my v7, the UV light does not work, and I use the UV a lot for work, as we have to identify automotive parts with special tracer threads that glow under UV light.
Thanks for the review. Any idea if the V10 battery is anywhere near the claimed 1000 maH?
Your welcome. I'm not sure about the battery, or how to test for it. There is a gentleman who did an excellent tear down of the V3, and figured out the electrical schematics, his channel is @bigclivedotcom, and his video of the v3 is here: czcams.com/video/61eTzzU2bTI/video.html If anyone actually knows how anything about these lights, he should know.
There’s a problem with the v3 - it doesn’t support USB-C power delivery, which means it won’t work with most USB-C chargers with a USB-C to USB-C cable. This means that on my travels, my V3 wouldn’t recharge from the charger I was using for everything else. I had to find a USB-A to USB-C cable for it to charge.
The v10 does seem to charge properly from regular USB-C chargers.
Weird, because I used a USB-C to USB-C to charge mine without any issues. Someone else from the forums said the same thing, it turned out his cord was a USB-C data cable, not a charge cable.
Usually the type-c to type-c cables are smart cables. Which just mean that it can talk with the plugged in device to choose the appropriate wattage. The V3 isn't a smart device so the cable just refuses to charge it. I don't know if the V10 is smart. It's probably not.
I ordered one so I'll keep you posted when it arrives (if I didn't forget).
Hope that helps.
Update: The V15 is actually smart but the V10 isn't.
Thanks for this indepth review. I have the V3 and it makes a great spare flashlight for the car. I contemplated going with the V10 because of the added alarm feature, which can be useful for attracting attention. Except that it appears to be too anemic on the V10 to be useful. Going to pass!
You are correct. The alarm on the V10 is not loud, someone talking loud can easily be louder. And thank you for watching.
I had the v3 and loved it! I lost it at work one day and I have been considering upgrading to the v10. I’m not sure still and that alarm on the v10 is kind of turning me off from it.
I've lost quite a few v3's. Though I just refound one recently. It was inside the fender well of my vehicle, It was there for almost 2 months. I had used it to put a spare tire on at 2am on the side of a dirt road. Pretty good magnet I'd say. As for the alarm on the v10, I would just not use the function, if that's the only thing holding you back. Price wise, they are very close.
I mean, does it have memory on both lights as well as the main light as the side lights
In my experience, no, they do not seem to have a memory feature.
Can you open it to change battery? I'm considering to buy v3
No, not without destroying the case. There should be a link in the description to another channel who did take one apart.
Whats the turbo on both? Is like v3 hold in the left for turbo. I use that function most. To the harrs / rabbits before my dog on hills. And whats the strongest Lumen on both a know it says 900 and 1000 but yeah I have olight gear so I know it isn't. Thanks!
On the V3, turbo is holding the left button. On the V10, turbo is holding the right button. V3 is about 450 lumens, and the V10 is about 500 lumens. All the Boruit and knock off versions, figure about half the rated lumens for what they state.
@@Survival-gyver Thanks for the answer! I think im gonna a buy a v3 again then, I don't want that alarm function and think the uv is nice on the v3! Thanks my man!
@@ROBBER011 Your welcome.
❤❤
Is the v10 water resistant? Or the v3
Both are water resistant, as long as the charging port is properly sealed.
@@Survival-gyver thank you very much for replying 🙏🙏🙏
@@paduka3303 Your very welcome, Glad I can be of assistance.
for some reason, despite being a flashlight, I can't find a single test of it outside during nighttime...
That's probably because it's low powered, and such small leds, it's not going to throw usable light more than 10 or 15 feet. These lights are for light duty tasks. I'll take a picture tonight for you, and I'll tag you in the community post for it.
Economy mode will throw 10-15 feet outdoors (miner's a V3). Full power more like 300 feet (unless it's tipping rain/snow/fog etc)
Next time, would you please show us how it luminate outdoor
I can try, but different conditions will show good and bad. Locally here, we get heavy mountain fog, where adding light makes visibility worse. Otherwise, your going to get the same usability as any other 500 lumen light.
The V10 buttons are easier to press then the V3 which are quite tough. The V10 downside is the double click will fail - if you click to fast. You sort of need to pause a moment between clicks = very annoying.
I don't have that issue with the buttons, I found the V10 buttons harder to use, mostly due to the buttons being backwards, when I was used to using the V3 for a year. I did notice the double click on the v10, but i wasn't sure if i was just annoyed with the reverse buttons or i was impatient with it. Thank you for your feedback.
My V10 glows quite brightly. If you want to charge it in the dark just turn the UV LED on in your pocket.
It does, but does not seem to last as long as the V3, nor as bright.
😅❤
Thank you
Dime bag, eh 😉🤣
Just trying to be funny, thanks for watching.
@@Survival-gyver suuuuure😉😉🤣jk
The way this guy cuts his nails...
I grind them on concrete and steel. It's a stress habit.
If it’s not 1000 lumen that means they’re lying .. 🤔🤔🤔
99% of companies test lumen output differently. Or vaguely compare against another flashlight with the same vague rating. There is also another issue of type of led and reflector. Just changing the reflector can change the lumen output significantly, and even LEDs of the same type, with the same input power, can have different output lumens due to minor differences in the diode itself. Unless each and every light is independently tested, the lumen rating is a generalization to compare between flashlights. Anything above 10k lumens is absolutely fake, as its 1] against the law in the US to sell a 10k lumen light as it can give you second and third degree burns in mere seconds, and 2] can cause source ignition of trees/shrubs, even houses if left on against flammable items for more than a few minutes.
