CONS

  • Low battery life

BEST USES

Comments:

This has the potential to be a great light. The only issue I can find is the charging process. No matter how I try to charge, I get no feed back. No flashing light, etc. I put it on the the charge and set my kitchen timer for one hour. It works and I prevent over doing (per the enclosed instructions, leaving on charger after complete can damage unit). Have tried with USB, Solar, and battery to light connections. None give notice that it is charging or is charged.

I use it all the time. Extremely bright and surprisingly easy to recharge. I was skeptical about charging it with a battery, but it is very easy and charges fairly quickly. I bought the USB charger and have not used it yet. Battery charger is so easy.

Bright light and fun to use. Only complaint is that the On/Off button is not very precise. They need to incorporate the same type of swith as the Photon II. It is much more responsive and accurate.

Comments:

Looks great so far, I used it on the highest setting for the first time till it started to quit on me, and it was over an HR. I think after a few charges it will be even longer, I have left it on on the second lowest setting beside the bed for two nights now as well, this thing really lasts a long time. I have the extra USB Fast charger, and the Solar charger as well, and they work great.

Love the fact that this is RECHARGABLE using [the extra] solar recharable kit! Also -- the 4 bright LEDs really make a bright light to make walking on uneven paths and steps at night a lot safer when they are not lit.

  • Finding keyholes

Comments:

I have had my Rex for more than a year now, and depend on it every day. I go to work in the dark, and my Rex is always clipped to a belt loop, ready to light the way. Even with daily use, I usually only have to recharge about once a month. I must also recommend the USB/Solar recharging kit. Now I don't need to rummage around my drawers to find the supplied battery based charger.

PROS

  • Adjustable Beam

CONS

  • None

BEST USES

  • Power outage
  • Lights up a whole room

Comments:

The ReX is a great little flashlight. Fully adjustable from "don't-wake-the-baby" dim all the way to brightness that can light up a room if you shine it at the ceiling. Charge it off a battery, a USB port, or solar; it holds the charge a loooong time so you don't have to worry about being in the dark. Traveling in the night, your navigator can look at the map without ruining your night vision; and can throw a beam far enough to read house numbers. I'm a pyrotechnician, half of the work I do is in the dark - cleaning up after a fireworks display. The ReX keeps my work area well-lit, and keeps my co-workers wishing they had one!
