Anker LC90 LED Flashlight, IP65 Water-Resistant, Zoomable, Rechargeable, Pocket-Sized Torch (for Camping, Hiking and Emergency Use) with 900 Lumens CREE LED, 5 Light Modes

Product Information

With the increased battery life, there is less a need to charge it as often, so in my opinion this tradeoff just isn’t worth it. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Revomed the charger, (which BTW both the charger and the cable are by Anker) and the battery and reinserted it, connectd the charger, light shows green, heating again and torch is stuck permanently on SOS mode even with rear cap detached. I recommend pairing whichever one you get with the Powerport Solar so you can shine at night and recharge during the day. The issue with a narrow tall LC90 is it probably cannot (reliably) be on its its end as a room light.

The older LC90 used two caps the inner screwed down on the battery and the outer cap offered the button but compare with the older LC40 which had no USB port (remove battery to recharge) and the newer LC40 contains one cap which is combined charger+button.

The new end design makes it shorter, the original LC90 had two screw on caps, the first covers the batteries and presented MicroB, the 2nd presented operation button. I immediately observed that the impact resistance rating appeared to be out of compliance with the standard.

However, the tests do allow readers to make reasonable comparisons between the lights I have previously reviewed. Odd they went with 2 18650 so 2x3400 = 6800 rather than 1 26650 5000mah, so wider diameter instead of longer. Thanks for the review and comparison, while I do not have either if these lights I can say that from the looks of it the smaller power button is a pain. My only complaint is that it is somewhat difficult to switch between light modes but other than that, it is a great flashlight and worth every penny.This means that if Anker was in compliance with the FL1 standard, the impact resistance should be reported a 1 meter. Anker did not request I review this light, nor was any form of compensation offered to review it by anyone. The end button cap and battery cover cap screws on nicely and feels like they would remain solid and reliable.
