XRG E500 Thrower Rechargeable Torch - 1200 lumens

The torch gives a spot beam with no possibility of obtaining a wider stream. The light is somewhat yellowish, of moderate brightness. Average build quality, for this money you can find a better product.

Its lightness is surprising for its size. The range is large, but it's a shame you can't adjust the width of the light beam. For home use, it is perfect. Great price to performance ratio.

Very poor build quality. The torch only emits a focused beam and does not give a wide stream. The angle of light cannot be adjusted either. The USB connector does not fit perfectly and may get damaged with frequent charging. It is very light – which might be an advantage, but also makes it easy to knock over accidentally. It is also badly balanced, with the front much heavier. Rather for home use and careful handling.

Its main advantage is the long light range (cool colour temperature and narrow beam, which works well over long distances but makes close-up visibility more difficult; this is typical for this class of torch). It does not overheat, so use is safe. Unfortunately, the build quality leaves much to be desired – the thin plastic housing will not survive a fall, the USB cover often flips open on its own, and the lens looks like a toy. It is only suitable for gentle use and care, e.g. at home. I do not recommend it for camping trips or forest outings where gear tends to be treated more roughly.

I am very satisfied with my purchase. The torch is not suitable for demanding expeditions, as it seems too light and fragile, but it is perfect for camping, the car or the home. Its low weight is surprising. It has a strongly focused beam, three lighting modes and a low price. I definitely recommend it.

This is a good torch at a reasonable price. Although it is not as sturdy as more expensive steel or aluminium models, it makes up for it with brightness and range. It will come in handy as an emergency light source for the home, car or tent. You can take it on trips if you use it carefully.

I bought this torch by chance, the price tempted me. After receiving and testing it I am positively surprised – it is light, has a really large range and plenty of power. The attractive price is another advantage. The only downside is that you cannot replace the battery. Nevertheless, for this amount I definitely recommend it.

A torch of average quality – it's not very durable, but at this price there's nothing to complain about. It impresses with its range. Useful as an emergency light source for the home or car, but it may prove too flimsy for tough expeditions.

This torch is fantastic. It has an excellent range and a focused, pinpoint beam. It is extremely light, made of high quality plastic. The advantages include a charge indicator and a comfortable, adjustable wrist strap. At this power and range, at this price, it is unbeatable.
