Recent flashlight reviews have chosen the G700 to be one of the best flashlights for 2016. First because of its brightness and second because of the led technology that uses. Let’s find out more about this tactical flashlight so we can understand if it’s really as good as they say it is.

Led technology

In this G700 flashlight release which was recently published on PrBuzz it’s said that Lumitact originally developed their G700 flashlight for the military. That is a very interesting fact considering that the companies who produce tools for the US army are usually based in China while this company is based in the United States.

In the search for a powerful and ultra-bright flashlight that can blind an opponent, this brand has developed a new type of technology that can produce more lumen power while using the same regular 1,5 volt AAA battery that most led flashlights use.

One of the biggest advancements they did was to introduce a high quality lens that makes the light even brighter. Without this lens their G700 could never reach a distance larger than 500 feet. The current officially measured reach however is almost 2,000 feet.

Features & Light Modes

Nowadays features and modes are becoming a very important factor for a tactical flashlight. It looks that the more features a flashlight has, better is selling on the market. After all we are used to have multiple devices in one so I guess that is why.

The Tactical G700 has 5 different light mods and all of them are based on a single principle; interruption. By interrupting the light, the G700 makes an interesting strobe and SOS effect that can be very useful for different kind of scenarios. Most of the features are there to turn the tactical flashlight into a survival tool that can help you deal in extreme conditions like earthquake, fire or worst; war.

Battery

The biggest flashlight revolution of the past 20 years is the option to recharge the batteries without the need of buying new expensive ones every time it goes out of power. With a new Led technology that uses a led chip instead of a lamp or a led diode, the G700 battery can last almost 10 times more than every other tactical led flashlight.

The retail box comes with two different battery options. The first is the adapter option which let you mount 3 batteries and a single 4 volt battery that is not that easily replaceable because there are not many 4 volts batteries circling around.

In the box you will also find two chargers; one for your home and one for your house.

Price

If you buy a regular torch flashlight for $10 you will have to spend extra $20 on batteries. Ones you waste those buying an extra set will cost you an extra $20 and so on. That is why having a rechargeable flashlight may seem expensive at the beginning but if you calculate the longevity of it without having to spend an extra dime ones you buy it, you save a lot of money.
