Traffic Wand Flashlight Rechargeable with Cigarette Lighter

Mary Williams

This nice little safety light became an instant hit in my household! It's easy to use, easy to charge, and using a USB cord means that it doesn't take up a huge outlet! (As much as I loved our Energizer rechargeable flashlights, the fact that they took up so much room to charge was definitely a pain!) Although having the different lighting modes is nice and shall doubtlessly prove useful in the future, the fact that it gets nicely bright despite being USB-powered was the aspect I was most worried about, so I was super-glad to see how bright it got!I have no complaints about this. I needed a flashlight, I got a super-duper safety flashlight with useful extra features to boot! I'll update this review later on if I come into any problems in the long term.

Flashlight is made from durable aluminum and rugged enough to take abuse rolling around in a glove box. Orange light saber threads into end of flashlight, overall length fully assembled is 11?There are 3 lighting modes dim, bright, and strobe. Flashlight contains a seat belt cutter, product should be able to rest on top of a traffic cone making this item a good possible use of an emergency road side flare.Item is rechargeable either through cigar port on end of flashlight, or through a USB port. Item comes in a durable plastic box equivalent to a small pencil box, an optional carrying bag is included.

Decided to try this wand flashlight after watching the nice lady that controls the traffic at the nearest elementary school, she is currently using a light that you cannot see from 10 yards.I was very surprised when I started comparing the output from this flashlight without the orange cone and the comparison was side to side with my loyal Strion from Streamlight wich is far more expensive.Please note that the comparison will be only for the output and amount of light that both flashlights gives. Not comparing frame, battery, craftsmanship as they are not the same tool.To beat my pride, the Aulite flashlight is noticeable powerful that the Strion when they are side to side and see the light footprint at 10ft.When used with the orange wand you will get an amazing visibility with low and high power.I still need to criticize the flashing function, the description calls it for strobe but in this wand the so-called strobe is just a slow flashing with 3 quick flashes and a pause for 2 seconds. I would love it to have a real strobe effect.The USB C port and 12 volt (cigarette charger) makes it versatile. Time will tell for the battery life and robustness as this wand will be working every single morning helping kids to cross the avenue in the way to school.

Note that the flashlight output test pictures were shot in a completely dark room at night. It really lit up everything - that red can't be missed, so be careful to not blind drivers or others!The light pattern is very bright in the center, but also bright all around (see pictures).Lights up whole area, and spotlights long range where you might be looking/walking.Should be able to look in a treetop if you want to check what's going on up there.It seems to be focused for longer distance.I will say that the very bright center is small (just under 1 ft) when walking with the light just ahead, say distance of 6 feet.The red reflector screws into the front lens area securely.Battery power seems to hold up well, but I don't think it will run an hour on a charge.I think it did turn off after many minutes, maybe to save the battery?I have and have had many lights and flashlights, and I like this one. Nice if I wake up to power outage, or I need to hunt through basement stuff looking for something. Fits well in the hand and the lighter plug doesn't get in the way. Can keep it charged easily, so no batteries to keep replacing.Ok, like all new devices, charge it up first.The USB-C port is under a rubber cover. The power button dimly glows red when charging.I used the included USB-A to USB-C short cable, and have used a longer USB-C cable I already had, plugged into a 5 volt cell phone or other A/C wall plug-in I already had. You could even use a battery device made for cell phone charging, which I am doing right now. Or plug flashlight directly into a cigarette lighter socket, but will need clearance of 5 inches which is it's length.When fully charged the button turns green so you can know to unplug it since some devices lose battery capacity if left charging indefinitely when fully charged.Note that the flashlight USB-C port hole is narrow, and the short cable shipped with the flashlight DOES fit, but the USB-C cable that came with my Samsung Note 9 and others would not fit in, but these cables I had bought previously on Amazon do fit: USB Type C Cable 3.1A Fast Charging [2Pack,6.6ft+6.6ft],Sweguard USB-A to USB-C Charger Nylon Braided Cables.There is a small metal piece that sticks out slightly, on the side of the flashlight, that has a cutter way up under it to cut a seat belt, so don't think it is a pocket clip! It is covered well by the metal piece, so that something like a seat belt would have to be slipped under it, to get to the blade, so it seems safe.Note - If you remove the plate that is screwed on tightly, a small sharp blade will fall out, so expect it.Press the side button once, and it is bright, press again, and it is really bright, and a third time, and it strobes with 3 quick flashes, about 1 second wait, then again with the 3 flashes, continuing.Someone complained that they didn't like the maybe 1 second delay in the flashing pattern, but I know of people that are disturbed or go into trance with a fast strobe, so this 3/pause/3 pattern might actually be a good idea.
