Review: Boruit V1 EDC Flashlight

[NT2C]

BORUIT V1 Small Keychain Flashlight 400LM with UV Red Blue Light - Mini Portable Rechargeable LED Flash Light 12 Modes USB-C IPX6 Emergency Survival Linterna

Yeah, that's what it's called on Amazon.

In size, this thing is about 12mm (1/4") longer than an Olight i3E EOS and just a little bit wider than an Olight i1r 2 Pro

There are both a 400lm end light and 5 different side lights mounted in the plastic case.  The case is designed to glow-in-the-dark, but does so very poorly, barely staying visible long enough to find and pick it up in a dark room if you drop it while testing the disappointing momentary "turbo" mode. It's disappointing because my Nitecore Tiki LE, rated 100lm less, beats it hands down.  Like, not even close.

The side lights though are where this light, well, shines.  Starting with the dazzling 50lm cool white mode that can be steady or flashing, then the UV mode (that helps it GITD, then a red just as dazzling as the cool white, also flashing, then a rather nice 38lm warm white (only steady) and a grand finale of a red/blue strobing mode that repeats three variations.

If it were smaller in size, if the GITD lasted longer and were brighter, if the 400lm end light were actually 400lm, this would be a great light worth 5 stars.  As it is though it barely gets 3 from me.
