RovyVon Aurora A1-G4

Well RoxyVon makes great little flashlights it's a fact. In fact for the size the 650 and 700 Lumen Cree x3 are the brightest little tiny flashlights you can buy. But oh the Nichia, while not as bright are a true color led and invaluable if you want the illuminated objects or area to be true to life color, or colour depending on where you're located. I'm using this little gem to look at precious and semi precious stones. Fire opal, agate, opal, jasper, petrified wood, tourmaline etc. And compared to a Cree or even an Osram the Nichia keeps the colors true to life and vibrant and gems especially opals look more washed out with the Cree, Olight, or Osram less. Although olight does have warmer led's they're still not as rich and accurate as the Nichia ones. This light is still a cracker with the Cree version and will suit most people awesomely. However if you want true to life color and not towards blue this Nichia version is the ticket. Both are durable, water resistant/proof and super small and have decent battery life. Operation can take a bit to get used to but after that it's a breeze. The photos I have submitted have the Nichia on the left and Osram (tiny 2) on the right. You can see a subtle difference in the depth of the reds. The effect is more pronounced with the naked eye and would be even more pronounced with a Cree led which is more blue (cold) than even Osram. Anyways whatever version I highly recommend this tiny flashlight!

Nearly perfect. It’s mostly a solid polymer and I like that because it’s less likely to scratch things in my pocket. And it’s so lightweight. It’s bright, with a nice selection of brightness levels for comfortable use from a distance or up close. The high CRI 5000K LED is exactly what I was looking for. Better for color reproduction but it’s also just easier on the eyes! A little warmer and not so sterile! [I tried to make the white balance in my picture to match the real-life color temp. It’s close but not quite there.] The beam pattern has a center but it has plenty of spill which I like for wearing on a hat. It’s not the cleanest beam but whatever! Can we not be a princess about that? Esp at this price point? The button functions are mapped nicely. I like that this has momentary-on functionality. And I am hoping the recessed button will prevent accidental presses. It also has a nice subtle tactile click unlike the Fenix E03R V2, which has a click but very soft and mushy. I kind of wished the memory function applied to the momentary-on as well as continuous. But I think it also makes sense the way it is, to have the momentary mode to be bright and the constant-mode’s brightness is what is stored in memory. DOWNSIDES: it comes with two rings for a keychain and replacement cover for the USB-C port (which does feel fragile). That’s it. I wish it came with the optional magnetic base. And the clip is FLIMSY—it will fall off if I clip the light onto my hat too haphazardly. What a shame. I guess I’ll have to try modding it somehow. It remains to be seen how reliable and durable it is. Other reviews seem not too optimistic but we’ll see. Btw I thought I got a defective model but all the lenses have what *looks* like a chip on the glass/crystal. (Pictured)

It would have been a nice little light if it had lasted. Within a week I pulled it out of my pocket to charge. The charge mechanism port was pushed up rendering it useless to charge. Pros Light was very bright and useful while it worked. I had high hopes for this little light. I would have given 5 stars. Cons The on/off button was hard to push and you had to hold the button down to keep the light on, holding the button down with a very hard pinch. I really would have liked this light to work for me. I would have liked to buy another to replace the first one except the cons deterred me from it. I'm sorry to say, I have to give it 1 star. And that is being generous. 🙁

I have had a lot of RovyVon Aurora keychain flashlights. Bright, small, lightweight, great battery life. These are not waterproof. They should be water resistant from walking in the rain etc. if you keep the rubber USB plug in place. The ones I've had break off eventually. I suppose a workaround would be to get some waterproof tape and cover the port between charges. Unless you're obsessive about things being 100% charged like me, you probably won't need to charge this often, even if you use it daily. Another important note is that there are a TON of variations of this flashlight on Amazon. I'm looking at my order history and this review is for the last version I purchased, but the previous version I purchased B07CNWLDGJ looks exactly the same only the labeling on the product is closer to white than grey. They have completely different specs despite being otherwise identical. Those are described as water resistant, these waterproof. NONE are waterproof. If you get a second rubber cap for the USB port, save it! Unless your keychain is exposed to the elements often these should last a while. I recommend the USB-C versions with the port on the side, not the back where your keychain is blocking the port. and don't spend more than twenty dollars. keep the warranty documentation and extra rubber nub together for future reference !

Very bright for being so small

This light rocks. The output is probably an honest 300 lumens which is great for such a tiny light. The double click to initially turn the light on makes it so I’ve never accidentally turned it on in my pocket. And I’ve had the older version of this for several years, no problems. I also light the warm color temp.

I ordered this Rovyvon A1x with the Nichia LED along with the Nitecore TIKI. One to keep, one to give to an elderly family member. Ended up sending both back. This Rovyvon has a nice bright light. I really liked the neutral and more correct coloration vs the Nitecore and it's "cool" toned light. The Nitecore had the additional feature of a reading light, not on par with the Nichia, and a UV light which was very weak. The Rovyvon had an easier to press button, vs the Nitecore which was so stiff that it lead to false sensation of activation I think from the button material compressing. I could operate the Rovyvon without thinking about it, the NItecore required that I remind myself to press extra hard. The troubles with the Rovyvon are two-fold. First, despite being an upgraded model with a relatively larger 330mah battery, I found myself having to recharge it more often than I should have in relation to the specified runtimes. Second, the button press timing was finicky. Sometimes it would do what it should have and sometimes not, no matter how consistently I tried to time my button presses. It's a shame that it had a good bright LED, but problematic in other ways. If it had a good interface and battery, I would have kept it. However, I also I think this class of flashlights are a bit overpriced. So maybe hunt around for a deal or last years model or something, if you must try them out.

This is the Mighty Mouse of the flashlight world. It illuminates a relatively large area in a bright, bright light. It comes with a pocket clip (you will never see this fashionista sporting a pocket clip) and is actually smaller than a tube of lipstick. It lives in the pouch with my lipstick and always in my purse. Lipstick on the Right; flashlight on the left.
