Have 2, but under a diff brand. They are the cheapest most mass produced 18650(battery code) flashlight there is. Chinese factories pump them out and brand them as whatever. I got both of mine for $12 on amazon a year ago after the police stole my Fenix TK15...If you want to wait for shipping they are like $2-3 a piece from china. $20 from this brand is a massive ripoff.

I can 100% vouch for this. I remember in 2007 I was in this Bavarian replica town in Georgia called Helen. Whole place grossed me out, but that’s not the point. I was walking behind this strip of shops looking for an ATM, since this glass-blowing shop was having a hard time with their card reader. I came up on this red truck idling behind one of the buildings, and lo and behold, it’s Swiper the Fox, and he’s got a chain on the back of his Ford Excursion wrapped around an ATM, which itself was chained to a post. I didn’t want anything to do with the matter, so I started walking away, but then I hear this voice saying “Swiper, no swiping! Swiper no swiping!” I was super confused, but I just kept walking, until I realized that the sound of the truck idling just stopped. I turned around, and I almost threw up: the truck was flipped over, broken glass, blood stains everywhere, and most harrowing of all were the claw marks in the vehicle itself. I didn’t hear a single thing other than the voice and the engine turning off. I don’t know what the hell happened. I didn’t go to Helen after that.
The presentation is questionable, but that seems like a genuinely durable and long lasting high power flashlight. Regardless, Charlies presentation of anything ever is fucking hilarious.
@@MatalicMan they're terrible i used to have one and dropped it from from knee height and it broke also my friend had one and the tail swich broke over time. Buy from a better brand if you want a good light. They also lie about the brightness it has about a quarter of the power they say it does

I dunno , I imagine if you shine that strobe mode at someone in the dark it'd probably blind them for a minute or at least disorient them since their eyes would be adjusted to the dark. Could buy someone a couple extra seconds in a crucial moment theoretically
I have a real bright flashlight that can leave you seeing dots the one in the video I do not think so but a good flashlight can leave you blind for a few mins
@@wesleyflores1085 I think the real power is that if it strobes fast enough you cant tell what your body is doing so it feel like slow motion to the person and cant figure out where you are since its about 1-2 frames of light then darkness and again over and over again it makes it impossible to tell what you're doing or looking at.
The problem is it’s VERY situational, in my opinion. It’s not uncommon for there to be more than one burglar, so you’ll blind one and then the other just attacks. And even if it is one robber, if he’s bigger and stronger you’re still fucked unless you have a weapon. If you do have a weapon, like a gun, then the flashlight’s even more unnecessary; just shoot them.
No one here knows what they're talking about.. Shine a high grade flashlight in your face then tell me if you can see anything in that direction.. Trust me its a free beating for anyone that shine that light until u can grab it and readjust ur eyes..
@SHANON ROBB and that’s not how it works, ur eyes adjust to darkness or light but not darkness behind light, that’s why people see shadows on bright days.. an example anyone would know would be looking in a darkly lit house window when the sun shines in your face..

shout out to Charlie for legitimately warning about flashing lights in a vid, it really is appreciated by me and others who suffer from epilepsy. it really does suck whenever I'm watching some of my favorite content creators and they fail, or just don't physically announce any actual warnings if there's flashing lights during ant moment's of the vids. I was driving almost 3 months ago late at night, and I was playing some videos in the background. suddenly during one part of the video I had on, there was a ton of flashing lights in it and it induced a bad seizure and I nearly died from that. I was insanely close to driving off the side of a mountain road
Who the fuck plays a video while driving and not just listen to the audio? Not trying to victim blame here, but that was stupid regardless of an epilepsy warning.
@@prematuredgravy8033 @PrematuredGravy I had it on in the background for background noise (I suffer from extreme tinnitus causing silence to typically become really unbearable for me), I wasn't watching it while driving it was just playing on my phone as a way to find my way home, and for a way to background sound while I was driving home one night after giving my buddy a ride someplace in the mountains, I wouldn't ever look at anything but the road while driving. I'm not the type to drive dangerously in any type of way, but the circumstances just happened to let this happen to me

B: What if an unwarned strobe flash was about to happen, for example, what happened in that video you watched that almost got you killed?

In Germany, there are about 850,000 different family names. The most common German surname, ß (B), is shared by around 700,000 people. This is followed in popularity by the name Hamburger (along with variants such as Hanseburg or Munchausen, this comes from the CZcams comment trade), with Mikaboshi coming in third place. This is all facts don’t search it up, it’s a waste of time, trust me.
1:20 thanks for the heads up.(which is something that the production team should have put in the commercial to begin with.) I don't have epilepsy and even I had a seizure from that part of the commercial.
@@thenightjackal8876 doesn't the name hamburg mean castle of ham or something since I know burg is an old word for castle, but not sure if ham means anything. Bürger does mean citizen but I think that comes from something like castle-er as a literal translation.

@Apple Tek Support im in the army and i can confirm. Honestly military equipment for the most part is outdated, overpriced garbage. We still use a lot of the same devices/ equipment from the 80s and 90s
As a prior security guard for halfway houses, flashlights are a great tool. When someone is cracking out and you shine a bright ass light in their face, they get real spooked and run off
"The only name more patriotic would be Frank Hamburger." Frank and Hamburger are both German though. But that's the point. It's so un-American it's American.
@@mikudayoooooo not really, it's not going to be as bad on your part, you've obviously never dealt with strobes, or tested this theory yourself. Use a gun in tandem with the flashlight, those are proven tactics.
I think it would be better to use the full mode than the strobe. Strobe will give you an fps delay. I will affect your perception and hinder you from properly tracking movements. It would be harder to dodge a punch when on strobe.
@@budgetlightph7814 It would also be very difficult to throw an accurate punch when there's a bright ass strobe light being flashed at you. You might not even realize where the light is coming from in the confusion.
i can see the strobe being a deterrent to a degree, just seeing a video was enough to cause eye strain, can you imagine having that in a dark ass room?
Guys now hear me out, I'm brushing my teeth everyday, i may be spamming these comments, but damnit I'm doing something good so Subscribe and join the discord we Vibing.

No, he missed a key point here: If he can't taste it, fuck it, _or kill it_ then it doesn't exist to him. I can guarantee you that red blooded 'Merican man would not be down for doing those things to any men, that's unpatriotic! /s
The strobe effect is actually quite disorienting. It's something that was actually discovered in the 1950s when someone was investigating the cause of helicopter crashes. The pilots were looking up towards the sun through the blades which caused a strobe effect and it caused dizziness and disorientation. Certainly not the best self defense but it's somewhat effective.
The strobe for defense thing is uh... Actually pretty practical. Literally every 'epilepsy warning' scene in the commercial is painful and disorienting to look at even on a screen, as someone with definitively no epilepsy lol
@distraction yeah, good point. But I have another question: Let's say that you call the police while seeing the robber rob stuff. Even if you took like two minutes to act after calling the police and it took two minutes to stun the burgerlar, what would you do after the robbers are annoyed at your light, and it doesn't work anymore. Assuming you didn't grab an actual weapon(considering you're using light as one) what would happen? Even if the robber didn't carry a long ranged weapon, and carried something like a pipe, they could still hit you with it, or could just flee from the scene. What would you do after the initial annoyance? What would the robber do? Police don't normally arrive in 4 minutes.
@@GrandFatherMoon Not only for a few seconds, the point of the strobe is so that your eyes can't adjust. If it were just a bright light, that would apply.
Exactly. Everyone know how annoying it is to have a light suddenly go on in the middle of the darkness. Pair that with light shining DIRECTLY into your retina blinking (strobe effect) at least 10 times per second, surely would make someone disoriented for a few seconds enough to do something. (Obviously it is high risk, but it is not as bad as Charlie makes it out to be...)
Not defending the vid or anything, but strobe lights are extremely disorienting when your eyes are adjusted to the dark. It is a good first means of defense because shooting should be the second.
Fine I'll point a light with one hand And my gun with the other. In self defense guns are first. If you don't wanna be killed don't break into someone's home.
The funny thing is, a quick google search shows that this guys has never even served in the military or anything "tactical" whatsoever. He's just an actor lol.
Remember when one of the most popular kids shows ever had a banned episode that gave over 12,000 kids epilepsy? Kind of thought after that others would've cared even a little bit about that possibility. But no, kind of seems like only youtubers do since it's normal for them to put text over the screen or if they're commentating
The strobe is effective. It disorients people in the dark, even if they're not looking directly at it. They won't be able to navigate well indoors because they'll be effectively blinded and confused; can't see the person holding the flashlight or even where they might be standing, what direction they're facing. I didn't believe it until my wife bought one and tested it on me. It works. We bought more and mounted them to shotguns.
Difference here being that you need to have some ACTUAL weapon alongside the flashlight. If you also have a gun, that few seconds of confusion could make the difference in your favor.
Yeah i like his videos but hes way off on this one. People actually use these for robberies in my city. 2 dudes approach you one says hi then they flash the light in your eyes and beat the shit out of you while your blinded and disoriented and take whatever you got in your pockets
I saw a ad for the new tac light and now it’s powerful enough to start a fire and cook a egg they’re literally making a handheld death ray that also makes light lol
Thanks for this video Charlie, because for us people living under rocks, we usually don't use CZcams to watch shitty commercials of products no one asked for.
2:30 he wasnt scared of the tac light he was scared of Nick's absolute manly and patriotic presence. He could sense the complete alpha energy that Nick was giving off and that struck fear into him so he ran, ran like no man could. The absolute manly man that is, Nick Bolton. He strikes fear into anything.
Try it for yourself. The strobe is very disorienting in the dark. There are defense flashlights that strobe for about $5 at Wal Mart. It would be better to mount it to a gun, but it does work. In the dark with a bright strobe in your face, you'll be confused, lose sense of direction, can't navigate to escape, and you can't even see the person holding the light. I became nauseous. Any two of those combined would cause fear in anyone, and they'd make more mistakes. They certainly won't try to aim a gun at you... they can't see.

Ok not to kill the joke but “Frank Hamburger” is probably the most German name anyone could ever have
Yeah thats what I thought to.
same. and i'm german.
It's Frankfurt Hanseburg
Nah it’s ‘ß’
In Germany, there are about 850,000 different family names. The most common German surname, ß (B), is shared by around 700,000 people. This is followed in popularity by the name Hamburger (along with variants such as Hanseburg or Munchausen, this comes from the CZcams comment trade), with Mikaboshi coming in third place. This is all facts don’t search it up, it’s a waste of time, trust me.

The example of "Frank Hamburger" as an American name is hilarious considering those are both German words.
Well sums up US pretty well, since it's a mix of many Europeans countries.
@Monika the cycle-path well "Hamburger" means a person or thing from Hamburg.
@@DistractedGlobeGuy and bürger was an older word for citizen which is where the name "Hamburg" came from.

To be fair; the strobe affect is actually a lot more affective than you’d think, and can effectively blind someone for a time being when it’s dark.
but if youre looking too, you'll hurt yourself in confusion full ass pokemon style
@@mikudayoooooo not really, it's not going to be as bad on your part, you've obviously never dealt with strobes, or tested this theory yourself. Use a gun in tandem with the flashlight, those are proven tactics.
I think it would be better to use the full mode than the strobe. Strobe will give you an fps delay. I will affect your perception and hinder you from properly tracking movements. It would be harder to dodge a punch when on strobe.
@@budgetlightph7814 It would also be very difficult to throw an accurate punch when there's a bright ass strobe light being flashed at you. You might not even realize where the light is coming from in the confusion.
Especially if they have fucking epilepsy… And they die
i can see the strobe being a deterrent to a degree, just seeing a video was enough to cause eye strain, can you imagine having that in a dark ass room?

I was expecting a solar powered flashlight from the title of this video; still not disappointed.
“If he can’t taste it or f*** it then it doesn’t exist to him”
Whoa, he really is American!
No, he missed a key point here: If he can't taste it, fuck it, _or kill it_ then it doesn't exist to him. I can guarantee you that red blooded 'Merican man would not be down for doing those things to any men, that's unpatriotic! /s
“To show you the power of this flashlight, I broke this man in half!”
Now thatsa lotta damidge!

*strobed
Balls.
The strobe effect is actually quite disorienting. It's something that was actually discovered in the 1950s when someone was investigating the cause of helicopter crashes. The pilots were looking up towards the sun through the blades which caused a strobe effect and it caused dizziness and disorientation. Certainly not the best self defense but it's somewhat effective.
You got me dead on “Frank hamburger “ 😂
The strobe for defense thing is uh... Actually pretty practical. Literally every 'epilepsy warning' scene in the commercial is painful and disorienting to look at even on a screen, as someone with definitively no epilepsy lol
Especially when your eyes adjusted to the dark
maybe, but I think that if you did actually try to shine light in a burgalar's eyes, they'd probably flinch for like 2 seconds, and then shoot you
@distraction yeah, good point. But I have another question: Let's say that you call the police while seeing the robber rob stuff. Even if you took like two minutes to act after calling the police and it took two minutes to stun the burgerlar, what would you do after the robbers are annoyed at your light, and it doesn't work anymore. Assuming you didn't grab an actual weapon(considering you're using light as one) what would happen?
Even if the robber didn't carry a long ranged weapon, and carried something like a pipe, they could still hit you with it, or could just flee from the scene.
What would you do after the initial annoyance? What would the robber do? Police don't normally arrive in 4 minutes.
@distraction yup, exactly
That's not the point. Strobing is ancient Flashlight tech. Heck, if it doesn't have strobe, you can do it manually with say an old Maglite.
"The strobe wouldn't be effective" Spoken by someone who hasn't had a bright light flashed in their eyes at night like that.
You’re right, if you get flashed by strobe lights, you lose your vision for a few seconds because your eyes need to adjust.
@@GrandFatherMoon
Not only for a few seconds, the point of the strobe is so that your eyes can't adjust. If it were just a bright light, that would apply.
Plus. The strobe is more of a disorienting tool to distract them so that you can use another weapon.
@@kohtahirano4546 strobe + gun = you won
Exactly. Everyone know how annoying it is to have a light suddenly go on in the middle of the darkness. Pair that with light shining DIRECTLY into your retina blinking (strobe effect) at least 10 times per second, surely would make someone disoriented for a few seconds enough to do something. (Obviously it is high risk, but it is not as bad as Charlie makes it out to be...)
As an epileptic, god bless you for the warning, it would be nice if more ppl warned
The underhand grip he uses in the strobe sections is so dumb and dorky, but he has an expression of pure confidence on his face

*Proceeds to drop it into the largest purse ever made

Not defending the vid or anything, but strobe lights are extremely disorienting when your eyes are adjusted to the dark. It is a good first means of defense because shooting should be the second.
Yeah I have a Surefire that the Strobe will get ya in the daylight, as well as a straight beam flash to the eyes it's extremely intense.
@@nicke1903 yeah for sure, also get an Olight and thank me later. 😉

Fine I'll point a light with one hand And my gun with the other. In self defense guns are first. If you don't wanna be killed don't break into someone's home.

Remember when one of the most popular kids shows ever had a banned episode that gave over 12,000 kids epilepsy?

People say Captain America was frozen with one of those flashlights. And without it, they wouldn’t have found him.
So that's what Falcon and the Winter Soldier will be about, it's a prequel for the flashlight.
The tactical flashlight is the only object in the marvel universe that is stronger then vibranium.
The strobe is effective. It disorients people in the dark, even if they're not looking directly at it. They won't be able to navigate well indoors because they'll be effectively blinded and confused; can't see the person holding the flashlight or even where they might be standing, what direction they're facing. I didn't believe it until my wife bought one and tested it on me. It works. We bought more and mounted them to shotguns.
Difference here being that you need to have some ACTUAL weapon alongside the flashlight.
If you also have a gun, that few seconds of confusion could make the difference in your favor.
Dude, return the shotguns. With that disorienting strobe effect, you are invincible.

THANK YOU for the strobe light warning! 😻
its been a year, and i still read the title "Worst Fleshlight Ever"
Using this for self defense would just be, “I hope they have epilepsy”.
They do now 🤣
Try it for yourself. The strobe is very disorienting in the dark. There are defense flashlights that strobe for about $5 at Wal Mart. It would be better to mount it to a gun, but it does work. In the dark with a bright strobe in your face, you'll be confused, lose sense of direction, can't navigate to escape, and you can't even see the person holding the light. I became nauseous. Any two of those combined would cause fear in anyone, and they'd make more mistakes. They certainly won't try to aim a gun at you... they can't see.
Actually, if it can be ran over by a car and be fine, it should be able to be more effective in bludgeoning someone to death, stun then bludgeon
