Yes, some decent deals around. Other than an extra power level, they did a decent job overall

Thanks for the video! Two things, if you press down on the head before you undo the clip it seems to open and close better. Also I’m quite disappointed that they only made one set of groves that fit properly for the clip, makes it so it can’t be deep carried. The other groves will let the clip slide in but it won’t click in all the way and it slips out. Other then that it’s a sweet light!

Seems to vary even pushing down, perhaps tolerances in manufacture. Yes, the clip seems to fit one way better. Still interesting range that RovyVon have.

Great review. Good details on the features and functionality. I recently bought an E7 model. Wonderful light. And the added benefit of the AAA backup battery is brilliant. Rechargeable lights are great until the battery dies, often when you need it the most. With the AAA backup battery, you're litterly never left in the dark. A well designed and manufactured piece of illumination technology that meets the needs of a dependable source of light for nearly any occasion.

I agree I think the appeal is the AAA back up, clever thinking and it also extends the life of the unit. Perhaps a new design would allow replacing the built in battery.

I've done some research on the recharging life of a lithium battery. It is stated that it can absorb roughly 60 charges before it will no longer be able to function. Since it cannot be replaced in these lights, I've chosen to operate in the AAA power for everyday use. AAA batteries are available and easily replaced. Thus I regulate the lithium battery as the backup and the AAA battery as the primary power source.

@@MrBazReviews This was based, I'm sure, upon general use of the lithium battery as a whole. The article I read didn't go into assorted models. Hopefully the ones used in RovyVon lights are the long lasting types.👍 RovyVon stated that one can use rechargeable lithium AAA batteries in the Angel Eyes series in lieu of alkaline AAA's with no issues.

To be fair, the AAA flashlight is left in the dark when you have all rechargeable products and dont have AAAs in a drawer anymore. Every situation where I have been within reach of AAA\AA batteries, I have been within reach of a powerpack(some solar or kinetic) with MANY times the energy stored in it and a cord(sometimes built in). Depending on the size of Lithium Ion battery used, you can actually just open the flashlight and stuff a AA in there too (this being a design feature in some). To the point that I am not actually sure why RovyVon didnt just make it a AAA battery well that could just support using LIon OR AAA, if the Lion dies and you have AAAs, then you could just swap out in that case. It is a bizarre choice. All that said, I actually like the E8 a lot, and it is my goto EDC for lite-carry and work (IT).

Great review! I have a couple of questions, if you still have the units: can you charge them with a Type C to Type C cable? Also, is the footage at 5:07 with the A5's UV? (I want to know if you can see the authentic euro marks with the A5, even if dimmer, or only with the A8?)

@MrBazReviews

Жыл бұрын

I still use them. The Euro marks are not showing on the E5/7, but strangely it does show a hidden mark on a £5 I have. C to C charging works on all three. E8 UV is a lot more powerful

Pretty sure the low uv light on the e5 compared to the e8 is due to the light on the e5 going through the glow in the dark body. It absorb a good part of it and re-emites it in visible light.

​​​​@@MrBazReviews That might certainly explain the company's concious decision to make the different design choice in the first place too. Surely, it wasn't accidental

The fully transparent rovys have a 365nm while the glow body ones have a 395nm which is mostly for charging said body. The 395 is Inferior for most uv tasks and I avoid the glow bodies for this reason.. Have a 4th gen a8u on its way now! Really looking forward to the big metal button.. my one complaint about my 2nd gen a8xu was the tiny button..

So they're almost all identical in terms of features, really? Like no major missing features, just perhaps a bit of lumens, power, and location of the lights?

@@jon123423 If I can drag the channel up to levels where I can get adequate funds, I have no problems buying in stuff to test. There is an element to KZread, ie some videos generate more interest, and some not that much. I've heard of the Boruit, and it looks quite good. As for RovyVon, they are a premium (mostly small EDC type models) brand. Certainly not budget stuff. The really cheap stuff, some of it is quite poor quality. It's possible to buy a decent 18650 model for 25-30 that is good. RovyVon seem to have carved a niche for themselves, and apparently are doing quite well. If the stuff is worth the price, largely depends on the buyer. People seem to pay the prices, and these are far from their most expensive ones.

Not even the same type of functionality mate. Both those lights are only usb-c charging only and the trustfire at least, doesn't possess nearly the same type of features as the rovyvon. Sometimes spending a few extra bucks goes a long way and while you save $10-15 buying something similar, you may buy it more often or sacrificing things like customer support for it.
