Although I have a disaster preparedness bag ready, carrying disaster supplies for daily commuting or just a short outing is a bit challenging. That's where I want to check out the "Flashlight E5." Weighing only about 21g and measuring approximately 75mm in length, it is very compact and can be easily bundled with car keys or house keys.

By using the included keyring-integrated carabiner, it can be easily attached to bag handles or belt loops. The lightweight of about 21g, achieved by pursuing only the necessary functions and eliminating waste, is perfect for everyday carry. You can carry “preparedness” naturally in your daily life without any special arrangements.

With a brightness of up to 1500 lumens, it cuts through the darkness

A powerful light that is unimaginable from its compact body. When using turbo mode, it emits light up to about 1500 lumens, illuminating up to about 117 meters according to catalog values.

It ensures a sufficient amount of light to clearly see your feet and surrounding conditions even on dark streets in residential areas or campgrounds without streetlights. Even in darkness where a smartphone's light feels inadequate, with the "Flashlight E5," your view will be instantly opened up. It eliminates the anxiety of moving at night or searching for items.

Intuitive operation with just a twist; buttonless design prevents accidental operation

To prevent battery depletion due to unexpected activation, it intentionally adopts a twisting operation by rotating the head instead of using a button. Just a light twist turns it on, and twisting it back and then again switches the mode.

There’s no need to search for the switch position in the dark, making it easy to operate quickly and intuitively with one hand. With no buttons, there's zero worry about accidental activation from being pressed by other items in your pocket or bag. You can turn it on as long as you want at the moment you need it.

Equipped with 6 modes, it caters broadly from everyday use to emergencies.

It is also noteworthy that the brightness can be finely adjusted to match the scene. In addition to four brightness levels: Low, Med, High, and Turbo, it features a total of six modes including Strobe and SOS.

You can use Low mode when searching for a keyhole in your hand, High mode when walking on a dark road, and SOS mode in emergencies when you want to alert those around you, making it versatile. The brightness adjustment can be completed with just a twist, allowing you to select the appropriate light level according to the situation.

USB-C charging and a tough aluminum body for long-lasting use

To avoid the hassle of replacing or changing batteries, it adopts a convenient USB Type-C charging method. It takes about 2.5 to 3 hours to fully charge, and in Low mode, it can be used for up to about 1790 minutes.

Moreover, the material of the main body is aircraft-grade aluminum, and by applying anodized treatment, it achieves high durability. In addition to its ruggedness that passes a 1m drop test, it is equipped with an IP65 waterproof specification, allowing it to withstand sudden rain, snow, and splashes during outdoor activities.
