Product: Outline E6 Tactical Flashlight
Rating: 8/10
Cost: $12
Would Recommend?: Yes, if you are an outside worker, specifically ones that work in darker environments for a short amount of time. This would be best as a secondary flashlight.
So I must admit, Outlite has adorned this package with everything that one would need in order to start themselves off with an LED flashlight.
They get the E6, a rechargeable 18650 battery, a charger, a plastic tube to hold the battery, a secondary cage (holder) for three AAA batteries (since it runs on those too) AND, as an added bonus, a small key chain flashlight that operates on three (included) button-size batteries.
The beam produced by the LED is slightly blue in tint, and very uniform when at its widest. With the head extended, the beam sharpens down to the “square” outline of the LED. The head has enough resistance so that it can be stationary in virtually any position between the spot, and the widest point.
It’s no small puppy. Because the head has a zoom function, it’s full length is 6.5″ Its length with the head retracted is 5.75″ The width at the widest point of the bezel, is almost 1.5″
It’s not waterproof, but it meant to be water resistant. One thing to know about “zooming” flashlights, is even if water gets on the sliding portion of the neck when the head is extended, it should be wiped off before pulling the head forward again. If water were to get pulled into the sliding mechanism, it could spell trouble if it reached the LED.
In conclusion, the Outlite E6 is fine as a secondary flashlight. I would NOT count on it as my MAIN flashlight.
