Don't Believe the Anti-hype Nebo Redline Tactical Flashlight Fact

You want to talk about big things in small packages this is it. Compare the moonlight to sunlight and Nebo is the sun.

I have a Coast LED Lenser that has been a good companion for over two years now. The Coast, while still a good light at about 140 lumens, is single focus with one function. The funny thing is that it was only about 10 bucks less than this Nebo. Goes to show you that either Nebo has figured out the technology or some of the other high lumen manufacturers are just out to make more money.

First let me say that I concur with many of the complaints about the ease of turning this on and off. My Coast has a rear button which is somewhat elevated. It has never turned on in my pocket or anywhere else unless I wanted it to and with an easy push of the thumb I get light. I suspect that because of the rear magnet function on the Nebo that the on / off button had to be flush with the end. Had it protruded the magnet hold might not have worked. Anyway, I was impressed with the five functions of this light and from high - 220 lumens - to low - 22 lumens - this light is great. 220 lumens provides enough light to light up my family room at wide beam and the focused beam is much like a police officers flood light. I took it out back in the woods and it lit up my back yard like the 4th of July. I didn't really think that the S.O.S. function would actually flash out dot, dot, dot, dash, dash, dash, dot, dot, dot for you - nice touch. Not sure I'll ever get to use that function but, what the heck and the strobe function, well, another nice touch but....

The Nebo did not come as shown in this advertisement and had no instructions. Had I not read these reviews I would not have known how to use it other than to turn it on and off and perhaps stumble through and figure out the functions available with a slight depression of the rear button. I also learned that if you turn this thing off in S.O.S. mode and turn it back on it defaults back to the S.O.S. mode unless you wait about 15 to 20 seconds and then it defaults to the 220 lumen setting. I wonder if there are any other functions that might be available and go unknown until you find them on the internet?

At any rate, if you buy one of these little beauties you won't be disappointed and you'll find yourself looking for darkness in which to use this thing. I don't know if it's a guy thing - one of those throwbacks to when we all lived in fear of darkness and craved fire - or if it's just me but, I have a certain affinity towards flashlights and this will be one of my favorites. I used to get a kick out of using my Coast on bidwalks when we went into dimly lit or basement areas. Most of the other bidders had conventional flashlights or multi lamp led's and my Coast got some attention. When I turn on this puppy I suspect that I will get some inquiries.
