Ratings & Reviews for Kobalt 1000-Lumen 5 -Adjustable Mode LED Rechargeable Flashlight

Great! but could be better

This is a really good flashlight compared to other competitors at the same price. It's got more than enough brightness for what I need, but I'm not complaining about that. It is definitely a unique design that will take some time to get used to. It's not necessarily ergonomic, or compact for that matter. I really like how it has the option to use traditional batteries rather than the rechargeable. I wish more than anything else, that it was magnetic, only because it's not all that easy to hold i...

mixed opinion

this is a good little light with good output, but poor thought out into usability. as others have pointed out, the ergonomics are off, causing it to be difficult to know which end you picked up if you aren't looking at it. also the power button is in a weird place. I like the ability to use the li-ion pack to charge another piece of tech, and the ability to swap to AAA batteries. the real killer for me is the lack of a magnet. this renders the light nearly useless for me, since I use that functi...

Great pocket size bright flash light

Small compact size and it is very bright and I like that is rechargeable but that you can also use regular batteries in it as well.

Don’t purchase

Liked that flashlight is rechargeable. Disliked not being ergonomic, hard to tell which end is which when picking up, power button odd placement,

Fancy Flashlight

This flashlight is very bright, and the spotlight distance goes quite far. It’s compact, so I can carry it on my evening walks, and I love the side flip which attaches nicely to my belt loop. Makes me feel more secure especially at night. I wouldn’t say this flashlight is easy to use. Initially I fumbled with it. The “on” button is in an unusual spot, and it takes some getting used to. Definitely not a traditional flashlight, but I like that it’s rechargeable with an included USB cable. However,...

Very bright compact light

This light is super bright with 3 levels of spotlight and a flood light. The single switch requires cycling through the 4 modes - bright, medium, low, and flood. Can't just go from off to flood. Charging is very easy with a USB-C port which I prefer. It also can serve as a phone or other device charger with its USB-C output port. Can be used with either the supplied lithium battery for disposable AAAs with the supplied adapter. The light does get fairly warm if left on bright for a long ti...

Battery does not charge

How do I charge the battery?

Awesome flashlight

This flashlight is amazing so you might be wondering why I only gave it 4 stars. I gave it 4 stars because it has some very obvious missed opportunities. The side light is super bright and nice however why did they not include a magnet on this flashlight? What if I am working on something but don't have a convenient place to set the flashlight down? Also this flashlight did not include a lanyard. Some people may say that is minor but its hand in case you are up on a ladder and want to make ...

Good light

Very bright. Like the different functions. Only complaint is the button is on the same side as the flood light so when clicking through the settings if not carful will shine light right into your eyes. Button should be on the other side.

Bright little light!

This flashlight is very compact and feels great to hold but don't let its little size fool you, it's brighter than all the larger flashlights I've ever had. It has 4 adjustable brightness modes on the main light and then an additional light in the side body which can act as a freestanding lamp on its own. The battery on this also has auxiliary USB ports so it can act as a spare battery to charge small devices which is a great feature in addition to just being a flashlight. This is a very cool...

One of few handhelds with an area light

The area light is pretty nice since not always do you want a spot beam. Nice to work on car. With most vehicles now have a USB port, you can charge this light going to your next job.

Bright light!

Wow that's a bright light! Love the multi functions. Super handy this hurricane season. We have already used it a bunch! Small and portable. Great for emergencies

Kobalt 1000/2000 led flashlight

Love it! I live on the coast of NC, so always good to have a good rechargeable flashlight in case of hurricanes or tropical storms. The light has plenty of lumens as can see by the pics. Also like the out charge connection in case you need to use it to charge something small as well. Another thing is the area light (the side rectangular light) has a clip on opposite side so can hook on belt, etc. to be able to hands free walk around with light.

Perfect addition to your toolbox

This flashlight is a perfect addition to anyone's toolbox. With it's adjustable beam strength and side light, you can see whatever you need. It fits in your hand nicely, it's easy to charge or use the battery adapter that comes with it. We used the side light when we lost electricity during storms caused by hurricane Helene. It has great battery life and it has a life indicator built into it. Overall, this is a very nice flashlight.

Almost Great!

Overall, a really good flashlight. A few design choices I could see being better: The switch is raised, making an accidental turn on more likely. The strip light and switch are next to each other so if I cycle through the brightness selections too quickly, I am flashed in the eyes (minor, but it's happened several times). The belt clip is fine for hooking onto a pocket or belt but pops off if I try to hook it on the side of my toolbags. None of these are show-stoppers, just things I've noticed...

Fantastic and Bright

Sturdy flashlight that comes with a rechargeable battery. The aluminum body gives it quality and should withstand some wear and tear. There is some heft to this flashlight, mainly coming from the rechargeable battery that is included, but it doesn't feel too heavy. The light itself is great with 5 different modes and brightness levels but the best part is having the ability of using it like a standard light or more as a flood/area light. Another great feature is the battery power indicator, ...

Great little flashlight that is very bright

I absolutely love this light. It fits in the palm of my hand and is brighter than most every other flashlight I own. It feels very heavy duty, it's very well constructed and is just the right weight and size to fit in your pocket. It does get a little bit warm after it's on for a while but what flashlight doesn't. The only thing I would change would be to add a magnet instead of the pocket clip.

Ultra bright light for such a small device

Awesome little light packs a powerful punch! The ultra bright setting is nearly as bright as my truck headlights, but the flashlight is small and light. Brightest handheld flashlight I’ve ever owned by a wide margin. Recharges quickly but seems to hold a charge for quite a while. The wide angle light is also helpful for lighting up a room or campsite. I do wish it had an option to focus the beam at long range so it could be used as a spotlight, but it will light up a wide field for over 100 yard...
