Energizer TacR-1000 Rechargeable Tactical Flashlight, Bright Flashlight for Emergencies, Survival Kit and Camping Gear, Water Resistant, USB Included

I needed a bright, rechargeable flashlight for daily use in residential/commercial pest control. This one is a bit larger than I expected, but still fits and sits well in the front pocket of my cargo pants, and it’s not as heavy as it’s size might imply, so it’s not uncomfortable to keep in my pocket throughout the day. It’s made very well, and seems like it will hold up well for a very long time. It also features a USB-A output for emergency charging of your phone or other devices. All this would be nothing if it weren’t bright. Believe me, this light is super bright! I have a bit of wooded area in front of my home, and at night this light lit the whole area, and even a neighboring house about 80 yards away! If you’re looking for a superb affordable option to a Streamlight, this is it. Energizer didn’t risk the integrity of their name with this one. Very high quality flashlight at an affordable price!

I’ve had this flashlight for a good while. I purchased it to see around our fenced in backyard at night, when our dogs are out back, doing there business, and often hiding. :) The other flashlights we used had regular batteries, so they were often dying out, dead, or otherwise only lit up a small area of the backyard. This Energizer, flashlight lights up a large area quite brightly, so we can easily see where the dogs are as well as what they may be trying to get into. It also feels very sturdy. It is a fairly large flashlight, so it’s not likely going to comfortably fit in someone’s pocket, but I like the size of it, personally. This is a very bright flashlight, so be careful about shining it in anyone or anything’s eyes. Overall, I’m happy with the price I paid for it and the value it gives, so it definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a bright, rechargeable flashlight with good battery life, but don’t mind something a little bulky.

Nice size and weight for a tac light. With two levels of brightness, it's good for most household purposes. Affordable step-up from a basic flashlight. I would purchase again.

So, I have been using this flashlight for about 2 months now as a police officer. I can say that I am pretty happy with the lights throw and brightness. Yes, it is not the eye blinding sun death machine as some more expensive lights like the MODLITES and Cloud defense lights, but its also $40. Battery life on it has been great, as i charge it on a weekly basis and it does get some moderate to serious use as I work at night. Size wise, it is a BIG LIGHT. it is similar to a D cell maglight in size but not as long as one in the handle. I have worked outside in the rain with this light and it hasn't malfunctioned yet, although I have not completely submerged the light in water, as I am not a fish. There is no stupid strobe mode on the light which is the BEST FEATURE OF THE LIGHT. Strobes are stupid and if you are using a handheld light as a defense tool, you really need to reevaluate your stance on self defense. I will say the Tailcap switch has no slop in it at all, which can be a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it. You REALLY have to press the button in the middle to activate the light, where as lights like the surefires and streamlights just about anywhere you press on the button it will activate. All in all it is great general purpose flashlight and If it breaks or messes up on me, I will update this review. Update *08/2022*. Light still going strong. The rubber piece that covers the charging port has fallen off, but the light continues to work as designed.

Good build quality, bright.

It took awhile to recharge the light but you do not have to buy expensive batteries. I think because you do not open the light up, it does break the seal for better rain protection . You pay more up front for the flashlight but in the long run , you will save money if it continue to work / function/ charge. It has the Energizer brand name which they have a good track record for me but it is made in China. ( it comes with a usb charger cord but not the with the usb charger block.) ( light brightness is good for walking on low setting or checking property, 90-130 feet on bright. The switch is in the end of the light which I can find easily in the dark. Think about what your needs are.)

I loved it when I first used it. That was the second brightest, flashlight I had. it was great for about a year and a half. The adjustable size of the beam it turns out is poorly designed. This feature works by simply unscrewing the lens end. That makes the beam wider. But what you don’t know is that there are wires that run from the handle area inside up to the lens part, and there is a molded plastic piece sticking out from the lens portion, and when you thread it back down to make the beam narrower, the wires have become pinched in between where they come out and where that protruding piece is and it has cut them in half. I only know this because I unscrewed the top piece and I could see where the wires had been crushed. For this reason, I would strongly caution anyone against buying this flashlight. Yes I see there are a lot of high ratings but look at the ones that say had just quit working. I’ll bet that it’s the same exact issue that I had but these people just don’t realize that that’s what has happened. Energizer needs to take responsibility for this and redesign the beam adjustment so that it can’t crush the wires in half. I do want to say that I really liked the rugged look of this flashlight and seemingly great materials used but a flashlight that has a built-in defect is no good to anyone despite the great ratings that some people give this light. I’m sure their time is coming, but they’ll never know the reason for their life failure was this design flaw. Don’t buy it.

The Energizer TacR‑1000 blew me away with its incredibly bright 1000‑lumen beam, which lit up my entire backyard like it was nothing. Its aircraft‑grade aluminum build, shatter‑resistant lens, and IPX4 water‑resistant design make it feel tough enough for anything I throw at it. I also love the USB‑rechargeable battery—it gives me about 3 hours on high and can even charge other devices when I need it.

Bad product don’t buy not recharge

Ilumina bastante. Se siente muy resistente. Sólo tiene tres variantes de iluminación a comparación de la competencia. Tal vez un poco cara pero tiene el respaldo de una marca con presencia nacional.

Although it is only on lithium battery the light is bright and the battery is strong as it should be in such a flashlight. Low light function saves energy but it's not very low indeed. Third function activate with double clicking the button which is handy placed on the rare end of this flashlight. I like it. It's solid and light is very bright. 3 bulbs in it.

This is a great flashlight. I like having the two different light beams, one super high and the second easier on the eyes which provides a good quality beam of light. I am still getting use to the size as it is larger, lengthwise, than I am use to. I have only charged it once and that charge appears to last a good amount of time. I would recommend to anyone looking for a quality flashlight, as this fits the bill.

I’ve had this light for about two years and it still works great. No issues at all. It charges well, has no batteries to worry about, and I use it regularly for work every week.
