Best flashlight for the price
"Great run time on high. I have bought Folomov flashlights that throw 900 lumens on high that have been very dependable. This model throws 2300 lumens on high which is incredible. Very pleased with the performance so far."
my hero
"I'm a fan of the Folmov Hero - especially the bamboo-style body design, which is comfortable to hold - still a strong build tho and definitely water resistant (it's helped me out in heavy rain a few times now). nice addition of a glare guard on the lens, so it produces flood light but has a concentrated focus in the center (pretty long throw!)"
Nice
"I mostly just needed a light for my HVAC work. Helps a lot in dark rooms. Also pretty helpful when working on my car. I don't like bringing it into shops if I can fix it myself, and this flashlight makes it easy to see everything under the hood pretty clearly."
What I needed
"Works as advertised. More than bright enough for working on my car in the garage. Appreciate the small size, makes it easier to use and doesn't get in the way."
Flood Beam
"Great flashlight - I especially like the battery power and how it has USB-C. Pretty easy to charge in my house and head out when I'm good."
Night Hawk
"Bright, clips onto my shirt, and gets the job done. Might even buy another."
Sir
"Folomov flashlight. Bright, but it took me 5 minutes to figure out how to charge it. You charge the flashlight by removing the battery and then charging the battery. Huge inconvenience for anyone in Law Enforcement as this was categorized. I give it 2 stars just for this issue."
Nice little light but too small.
"Unless you have really small hands, the switch is hard to use in a 'tactical' manner. In order to use the switch your palm covers up the lens."
Q&A
- What kind of warranty does it have?
- Folomov has a 5 year warranty on flashlights, headlamps and bike lights that do not have a built in battery. Those with a built in battery have a 2 year warranty. Rechargeable batteries, battery chargers, bike mounts and remote pressure switches have a one year warranty.
- I saw info on turbo mode but did not see anything about stepping down after so many seconds. Does this light step down because of heat?
- We are not seeing any information regarding step down either and are reaching out to Folomov for additional information. Most lights do have a heat sync step down. It may take longer in a cool climate verses a warm one but we do believe it will have one. As soon as we have the information, we will add it to the listing.
