Lights up with one AA battery. Bright and easy-to-use LED flashlight

I have been accustomed to taking night walks for some time now. , When walking down a dark road, I often feel that I still need a light. This is because it can be used for a variety of purposes, such as checking the surroundings to avoid puddles and mud, and appealing to drivers to ensure safety.

The ``Gentspatrio GP-8'' I'm introducing this time is the one I take with me when I take a walk at night. It is a very small LED flashlight that lights up with just one AA alkaline battery. To tell the truth, this is the second one. I had purchased the same one before and loved it, but unfortunately I lost it.

When it comes to small flashlights, there are quite a few dim ones that only illuminate your hand. But GP-8 is different. A chip-type high-brightness LED is used as the light source, and the brightness is 80 lumens. It's hard to imagine just with the numbers, but when you actually turn it on, it's a level that makes you feel safe riding a bicycle even in pitch darkness. The brightness is unmatched for a small body of less than 10 cm.

One of the features is the beautiful irradiation pattern by the concave reflector. There is a bright spot near the center, and a faint ring of light spreads around it. You can clearly see the place you want to see, and at the same time you can check the surroundings.

3 types of lighting modes are available, and each time you press the orange button on the tail cap side, High mode, off, low mode, off, quick flash (blinking) mode, off repeats. It seems a little annoying, but since you can switch modes quickly with a half-press of the button, you don't feel any practical inconvenience.

The body is gunmetal color and made of aluminum. It is a fearless design with a non-slip mesh pattern engraved on the whole. Because it is drip-proof, it can be used even in the rain or near water. With a diameter of 21 mm, a total length of 96 mm, and a weight of about 62 g, it will not get in the way even if you put it in your pocket or bag. Rather, it is a size that you have to be careful not to lose.

Practical lighting time is 1.5 hours in high mode, 4.5 hours in low mode, and 4 hours in quick flash mode. Depending on how you use it, you may feel that the battery drains quickly, but if you can turn on a very bright chip-type LED with just one, it makes sense. Sanyo's eneloop can be used as well as alkaline batteries, so if you use those rechargeable batteries, you don't have to worry about running costs.

In addition to the original pouch and hand strap, the package includes AA alkaline batteries for testing. As a hand light that can be taken out quickly when needed, it is a convenient and cost-effective product.
