JetFastLED rechargeable Torch with PowerPod

power reach for small torch

They failed to supply a charger for it. I seem to have all the other bits but no charger - bit like having a car but no petrol tank. However, I can use it for a time as it came partially charged. It's supplied in a zipped pouch. Seems a very well made robust torch. It's made from metal and is waterproof to about 2 metres. It has various switch effects after switching it on if you press the switch again you get a dim light, press again you get a dimer light, again gives a fast flash, again and you get a slow flash. Might be handy if you're into flashing. To be frank, I think it is way over priced for a torch. To be me, I like it.UPDATE: I managed to get a charger from the company. They were very helpful and sent it out immediately. I use the torch often and it is still charged in September. £70 was optimistic. The current £25 feels about right. All in all a good value bright torch.

This is a little gem of a torch its very powerfull i walk my dogs round a very large lake ealy in the morning and the torch lights it all up even the other side of the lake the powerpack battery is very good get about 90 mins on full power before recharge all in all very pleased with this product and amazons price

Although I have owned this for around 20 months, I only used this about 5 times and only for short periods. Now it cannot be turned off without disconnecting the Battery. I have tried to fully discharge and recharge but it makes no difference. Works out around £5 a usage!

Good buy

I agree with all the reviewers regarding use as a torch but found little about the charging of phones etc The battery is only 700mAh and so far it has been unable to charge anything I have connected it to.This torch was a gift with the primary aim of it being there as a phone backup. The leaflet states it will" charge a smartphone or any other device". It most clearly will not..Nice as a torch .

First of all, this torch is very bright and quite heavy for its size, due to the thick metal casing.This torch is similar and brightness to  MAGLITE LED XL200  except that it is waterproof, rechargeable and can be used to recharge other devices.It uses a non-standard rechargeable battery, so if it does run low on power, you don't have the option of using some form of ordinary battery instead.I was disappointed to find that the custom battery needs to be removed from the torch in order to charge it, or to use it to charge a device like a mobile phone. I was also disappointed that a couple of times, when I replaced the battery in the torch, the torch was reluctant to turn on, until I re-opened it and re-closed the seal. I don't know if this is a common fault, but it is irritating.Constantly having to remove the battery to charge it strikes me as likely to damage the the watertight seal in the long term.I am really in two minds about this torch, with its balance of positives and negatives. I like it's feel and ease of use. Overall, I think that it would have been better if it used a standard design battery, or at least if it didn't have to be removed for the additional functions that it provides.

Not much to add to the other reviews except that this was purchased in 2016 and it is still working. Charging it and used whenever is needed.

Pratique et efficace !!

Nice design and size, but the light doesn't stay on the setting selected. Keeps going from high to lower lighting, something wrong with the switch maybe? VERY annoying.

No da casi luz. El haz que proyecta es como el de las linternas antiguas. Una decepción. Cualquier linterna oriental barata la supera con creces.

A me purtroppo NON mi hanno fatto sconti per scrivere la recensione (a differenza di praticamente tutti quelli che l'hanno fatto per questa torcia), cmq sono rimasto molto soddisfatto, misura giusta, fascio di luce potente, insomma, ha soddisfatto le mie aspettative

Great flashlight
