I bought a rechargeable flashlight at the traffic light for 1 euro. Thought of poor quality. But it turned out to be a good option for the money

  • Dec 16, 2020

I disassembled the flashlight for 88 rubles, found out what kind of battery they put into it at the "flashlight" factory and what is the build quality of this product for ridiculous money.

But let's start in order, I looked into the traffic light in search of a cheap high-quality cordless screwdriver. They say they began to import it again. But something does not reach our city, these self-tapping screwdrivers. Well, okay, took some water and went to the checkout. While I was waiting for the queue to move, I noticed the flashlights for sale at a ridiculous price. Moreover, they are still rechargeable ...

For the sake of entertainment, I decided to find out what is put into the body of this device. Below I will show the disassembled device.

Having opened the package, I immediately checked the operability of the device illuminating the darkness. Surprisingly, it already worked.

The flashlight has two modes of operation. At full capacity and half. For charging, two pins are used, like a plug. That is, to replenish the battery with energy, you need to plug the flashlight into the socket.

How does the lantern shine?

In order to find out how the given device illuminates the darkness, he went to the bathroom.

I lit the whole room with one flashlight, I think the result is excellent. Gif for the curious:

Dismantling the lantern

First of all, I unscrew the reflector with glass. All these parts are plastic. Not surprising. For such a price, no one will install real glass in this case.

In order to get to the inside of the flashlight, I unscrew one screw and melt the body.

Surprisingly, there was a full battery inside, a charge board, a mode switch and an LED.

It is interesting to implement the connection of the battery to the board using lamellar clamps. I have not seen this.

As I understand the battery is lead, I install such batteries in uninterruptible power supplies. But larger ones.

Reassembling this lighting device was not difficult.

To summarize: The build quality is on a solid four, nothing loose or loose. Battery life is not known, if you had such flashlights please tell us how they work. The price is ridiculous, for so many details in a flashlight. This product will still need to be purchased. To highlight water meters or look for something in the dark. I'll take a couple to the garden, the days are shorter, there is more darkness. The lantern will just be there to light the path to the toilet at night. Like "Traffic Light" for the available product.
