ESGREEN ED0330 High Lumens Rechargeable Flashlight – 900000 Lumens, 30W.

Just curious, did you buy this light or are your comments on it based on the many flashlight combo packages similar to this that are sold on Amazon and other sites? I’m going to assume the latter and not fault you for your (perfectly legitimate) assumptions but I can tell you that this light is, much to my surprise, better than the many lights that come packaged like this that I’ve seen over the years. (All of which your description above pretty accurately describes.)

The lumen claim is obviously ridiculous and I don’t have access to equipment anymore to measure lumens OTF but I can tell you the following based on my brief tests of the light powered by the included 26650 battery.

There is no turbo mode, only high medium and low as well as the obligatory (and used by literally no one) strobe and SOS mode.There is no memory mode. When you turn it on it’s always in high mode and goes down from there regardless of what mode it was in when powered off.When turned on the light is NOT at full brightness of high mode. The light smoothly ramps up to full brightness after ~2 seconds.When shifting between brightness modes there’s a similar (but shorter) smooth change in temperature vs. an abrupt change.When turned on and left on high pointed straight up to my ceiling the highest temperature of the body of the light measured just over 74 F degrees. Exactly 30 minutes later the same spot measures 85.5 F degree which is the warmest part of the body I could find.During the 30 minute test the battery % indicator on the light dropped from 58% to 42%. (I’m making no claims as to whether this is accurate, just reporting what’s there.)During the 30 minute test I didn’t notice any obvious change in brightness, color temperature, etc.Let me be clear that I’m in no way claiming this light is objectively AMAZING or anything. I wouldn’t choose this light (or any like it in terms of manufacturer, price, etc.) if I had a job where reliable lighting was extremely important or my life depended on it.

That said for the price this this light is surprisingly great in terms of performance and value. It’s easily and by far the best light in a combo package of this sort I’ve seen over the years including when I worked for a major LED manufacturer (Cree, now Wolfspeed) and saw and used too many flashlights to count. It’s especially noteworthy that for $12 + tax you get a 26650 battery included when most of the combo packages like this don’t even include an 18650.

It’s also worth noting that I’ve used this light for a few hours at most and quality issues often show up well after the first few hours of use. (I can’t count the number of Fenix lights I saw that started with a great color and then turned green after some usage.) It’s entirely possibly this light could have issues that don’t show up until we’re into 10’s of hours of use or more. (That said, the lack of overheating and the smooth ramping up/down between brightness levels suggests this isn’t the typical direct drive, over driven low quality light you often see at this price point.)
