2:03 for anyone wondering, it is three clicks on the left button to turn on the red lights, and if the power button isnt turning the light on, try clicking it slower
It's become my favorite EDC, but a few things hold it back: The modes are backwards - hold-down should be for extremely low (right button) and UV/red (left button) with the 3x click functions reserved for 'panic' modes like turbo (right button) and alarm (left button). This would massively improve the usability of the light and remove the most common complaint - accidental activation of the alarm. Accidentally activating turbo isn't cool either. And I agree, the cadence of the clicks needs to be sped up... Maybe we will see this in a future generation of the light (that isn't obviously reusing the electronics from the V10).
@outsideguide I disabled the alarm on the V20 permanently (ripped out the grill, stabbed the electronics) because I hated it so much. Now it just blinks 'SOS' in red when the left button is held down. I actually like the light better with that feature removed because the design surrounding it was so poorly executed.
Wish I saw this before buying mine months back, charged it for the first time last week and only because I ripped the plastic casing around the head of the USB C to pieces to have it fit flush.
There is a big problem with the V20, except for the Low level the others are not regulated. You end up with a medium level of about 100 lumens that in a couple of minutes become 30. It makes no sense, it is not a power that can overheat the torch.
I like the idea. I don't like the non-replaceable battery. If they could get the price down to under $10 I might be interested. I have bought several of the V3 versions. Given as gifts etc. for under $4. And they are small enough for the keychain. Do I need a rotating 180 degree head or an audible alarm? Not really. For me the price for a light that I can't put replace the battery is a no. The best price I currently see is on Aliexpress for $16 .Good review though.
The swiveling head on this light, combined with the magnet in the base and a clip that works with hat brims, effectively makes this the most versatile, useful EDC I've ever had - and I've been a flashaholic for over 20 years.
Да чего вы переживаете, там уже есть видео на ютуб от ваших блогеров, гдон и в песке копался и в воде топил и даже замораживал такой фонарь, нехотелось бы спойлерить но фонарь выжил, так что спите спокойно буржуи ,

@@DROCKno what the fuck lol, just tried this and didn't even know it was a thing 😅😅.
Nice review sir, i like this flaslight a lot. I hope they can put a strobe mode triple click next time.
You have to double press a little slower. I have the same problem with the V1, but the V3 works just fine. You'll get used to it though.

Valid points. Flipping between the v15 & V20 causes me to either blind myself or set off an alarm.

Your problem with turning it on is pressing buttons too fast, second press needs a delay, press it like you're 20 years older :b
You’ll need to TURN YOUR KEYBOARD LOUDER. I can’t read that :). But you’re probably right.
Nice review, thanks!
I figured out the red side light. It’s 3 clicks :)
Wish I saw this before buying mine months back, charged it for the first time last week and only because I ripped the plastic casing around the head of the USB C to pieces to have it fit flush.
That’s too bad. It’s an oddball size for sure. You need to dig around for a better cable.
@@outsideguidelol mate I took pliers to the head of another wire as I said, it fits now 😅 just a dumb design flaw honestly.
How do you do the swiveling red lights? Haven't gotten the timing down
Three clicks of the sidelight button.
@@outsideguide thanks a ton!

To get the red light triple click the lightning bolt ⚡️
Thanks
I have the v3 and v20 but this one has the weirdest double click function. It’s like, not to fast but not too slow. It’s weird.
Yeah. Thats exactly what it is. It needs a certain tempo to click it. Not too fast. Not too slow
Any update? Some Reviewer say they don't last longer, they last 3 days by just dropping on water or tapping water
Still going strong. I figured out the red light :)
Has anyone carried this on a plane? hoping its carryon safe
What do you mean non-rechargeable?
Sorry, was referring to the glow-in-the-dark aspect
Which one would you reccomend the bourit v15 or v20
V20 just because of the 180 head.
i hope rovyvon would take inspiration from it and make their own 180° flashlight , the concept is good but it feels cheap
I’ve had a few issues with Rovyvon lights TBH. I haven’t dropped this one yet so I’m not sure how it will hold up compared to the others.

Thanks. I like it. This is my new daily favourite

Water resistant?
I haven't tested it yet but I will hopefully in a upcoming video
