Great flashlight
This flashlight is bright and lasts a good amount of time. I've had mine for about 3 years and I like it so much I bought another one so I could always have one fully charged on hand. In those 3 years I have accidentally left them in my jeans several times while they went through the wash. Flashlights still works, battery life seems unaffected. I left one in my jean pocket while I took a nap and accidentally snapped it in half. I was able to push the two pieces together and pop it back in place. Flashlight still works and still feels solid. I only have two gripes about it, both are personal preferences. One, it's not USB-C. Two, it has a short throw distance. About 20-30ft (6-9m). Which makes sense because it's an inspection light so it isn't supposed to cast far...but living in the countryside where it gets really dark, the farther I can see the better. Would I buy it again? Yes, unless I found a comparable flashlight with my two gripes addressed.

Size, beam intensity, switch functionality, rechargeable, and construction.
I must admit that I am a flashlight junkie, but I really like NEBO’s Inspector flashlight. The fact that the unit is small and is easily rechargeable with two intensity settings and simple switch makes this a perfect light for your bed-stand. As a pilot of single engine aircraft, I also have an Inspector in my flightbag. The intensity of the light is very useful for pre-flighting my aircraft. The size allows me to easily shine a light on the flap, aileron, elevator, and rudder attachment points and actuators. It is better to have NEBO Inspector and the ready than to curse the darkness!

Great company to buy from!
TL;DR got a whole new flashlight as a free replacement when my cap failed. Very bright. Decent battery life. Gets a little hot First of all, look how bright it is in my (very) well lit shop. Imagine what this bad boy does in the dark. Hint; it'll light up a whole bedroom What drove me to leave a review was the customer service. They call the cap a "bite cap" so naturally I thought I could hold the light by the bite cap with my teeth. However, it won't last too long if you do that. The light still turned on and everything, but using the button with the rubber piece torn was troublesome. I had to call and get a replacement cap. The process was made really simple. I called ACG, the company that owns Nebo, and they said they would send a new cap. I think it took a couple weeks to arrive, but hey, warranty is usually a slow process. Unfortunately, the wrong cap arrived. I called ACG again, let them know what happened. The lady on the phone seemed upset that this happened. She said she would send a whole new light instead. She had me verify that I actually owned the light, and about a week later, my new light was in Definitely a company worth doing business with. And the light itself is great. I've already attested to its brightness. And I've owned and used this light daily for 6 months. There are 3 modes you can cycle through; but what's cool is that once you turn it off for like 30 seconds, the cycle resets. So each time you turn it on, it'll start on high mode. I had other brand lights that don't do this, and you have to cycle through all the modes every single time you want to use the light. Because of how bright it is, it gets fairly warm. Not really an issue for me. I can use the light pretty heavily through the whole day before it needs a charge. I'm a mechanic and this is basically my main light; and I haven't had to stop in the middle of my day to charge it once. It definitely doesn't last me two days of heavy use, so I just charge it at the end of each day. And being able to switch to AAA batteries in a pinch is really nice. And since I have two of these lights, I put a comparison picture of the batteries in this review I don't really have anything bad to say about this light or Nebo or ACG. I hope this review convinces at least one person to buy this light. They really deserve it, and so do you

Not terrible, has its pros and cons
Really nice flashlight. Nice size and not heavy at all but durable. It’s really bright and I like that you can vary the brightness as well. Magnet at the end it strong enough to hold it up but it can be wiggled loose pretty easily. My only complaint is that the button to turn it on is really sensitive and at the end of it so it comes on in my pants pocket quite a lot, which is not cool because I use it for work daily and I can’t afford a dead battery on the job. It’s not super fast to charge but not terrible and the battery life is decent. Honestly it’s not a bad edc flashlight, but I’m not impressed with this as much as the previous Inspector model. I’ll probably keep shopping for another one that I might like better, but I’ll use this until I find one.

Lost without it
Awesome little light. I've always had a similar size Streamlight but was always loosing the pocket clip. They popped off way too easily ad for $100+ for the rechargeable, not worth the frustration. This light won't loose the clip and the magnet base is super handy as well as the lantern mode. Yes, depending on which pocket it is in, it is easy to accidentally turn it on without knowing but I keep it in my uniform shirt pocket so, it is unlikely for that to happen. The lumen brightness is great and I like the high/low option. Hopefully they will update the charging port to USB-C soon as my only complaint is the old micro USB port.

just in case
So wanted a small unit to use all the time. Travel with, etc. This fits the bill nicely. Use to get to truck early morning. I use at night walking the dog. I have it in my travel bag for morning walks. Charges fast, last long. Well worth the investment. I always like to buy good, not cheap.

Conseguí la linterna en oferta y la verdad quedé muy satisfecho. Los materiales se sienten de muy buena calidad, incluso el imán tiene muy buena fuerza. La utilizo en espacios cerrados y muy oscuros, por lo que los 250 lúmenes qué ofrece en nivel medio son más que suficientes para poder realizar mi trabajo.

Cumplió mis expectativas y quizá las sobrepaso tiene una excelente calidad y hasta ahorita parece muy durable. La batería dura lo que dice

I first found out about this flashlight on the YouTube torque test Channel where they tested inspection pen lights. Overall this light scored quite well and had about the longest sustained light output, at a usable level, of the lights that they tested. Now that I have it in hand I am very happy with the purchase. The flashlight is extremely well made, has o-ring seals on all movable and openable parts, and puts out an amazing amount of light on turbo. According to the testing done on the torque test Channel, this light does in fact put out a full 500 plus lumens on a fully charged battery. Take my word for it this thing is a scary bright on turbo, almost too bright. The battery life is very good on low, certainly several hours of usable light. On high you'll get at least an hour's worth of very bright light. Turbo is limited to 30 seconds before it drops down automatically but produces more light than should be legal for a pen light this size. As shown in the video the magnet on the on off switch is strong enough to hold the light in a horizontal position. The area light feature is surprisingly handy and easy to one hand, and the external charging port, with o-ring seals, makes charging a breeze. Others have complained about the on-off switch being too sensitive but the unit I purchased does not have that issue I don't know if they've corrected it or if they were just defective units that others received. I have had no issues with a light accidentally being turned on when the button is bumped. I highly recommend this flashlight. It's not cheap, but you certainly do get what you pay for. I can't imagine anyone looking for a good quality inspection light, or for that matter a highly versatile flashlight in a small easy to carry package, will be in any way disappointed. It's my new favorite flashlight. N.B. Several trillion photons were harmed in the making of this review and video.

Great wee inspection torch, super bright and easy to use. The magnet is strong too. Good value for money.
