One of the things I love most about your flashlight reviews is that you master the U. I. Of all the lights you show us before you make a video. I’m so tired of reviewers that don’t know how to use a product that they are showing audience. Another great review of an outstanding product. Thank you sir.

I personally have no use for easily accessible strobe like that, but I love seeing manufacturers experimenting with input options. You can do a lot with a single button, but it's not fun, efficient, or effective. I want to see more buttons, dials, rotary interfaces, and also battery indicators. Though ultimately a simple standard rotary interface where I can turn the ring to the right to get more light and to the left to get less might be my favourite and something we need more of.

RovyVon definitely got their target audience nailed down with this type of light - instant turbo and built in charging is exactly what tac pro guys want. I'm also glad they have a non-proprietary battery for their larger lights, since their keychain lights all are sealed (except a few) The UI for this particular version is almost nothing for what I'm looking for in a light, but the rotary shortcut to strobes could interest a specific group of people. Great review as always.

If the button could only go to low setting with the dial in the middle that would be nice in my opinion. All in all I feel this is a pretty solid unit.

200 meters? Searchlight? Not sure why Rovyvon is calling it a searchlight, its a flooder. My Astrolux FT02S is 11,000 lumens with a throw of 501 meters with the same 4 emitter reflector but a bit larger with a single 21700 cell and its a flooder. Its a great looking flashlight but for 130 dollars? The wurkkos ST11 is a great little pocket searchlight along with the MC13 and the IF22A. The Thrunite TN40S, BLF GT and Convoy L7 are searchlights, love then!! Even my EDC Lumintop X9L with 810 meters of throw is a great pocket searchlight. I own a couple of Rovyvon flashlights and they are very nice flashlights. I always enjoy your videos, thank you! Thumbs up!!!

Huh, the rotary ended up being flipped from what I thought. I would have guessed button on/off and rotary to adjust level. Random thought was that I wished more lights with simple ui e-switch would add a brightness down combo from like a 2H (though risk of blinding if mispress with common turbo of 2C haha).

What an interesting offering from Rovyvon! I bought my wife and I keychain lights from them a few years ago and they are still going good. I think it’s rare to see a magnet on a 21700 light in my experience. The E07x is the only recently released light that I have come across but I haven’t looked at the D4k yet which I imagine has a magnetic tail cap. I have an older TO50R from Wuben that this light reminds me of. It too has a magnetic tail cap and runs a 21700. But where the E07x can’t support it’s own weight horizontally, the TO50R can. The Wuben also has this dual switch configuration that I really like. The UI is very different from the S23 but I still reminds me of it. Does the magnet on the S23 support it’s own weight horizontally? If so, this could be a string candidate to replace the TO50R as the latter uses micro USB. Also, I love that you peak to the modding side of things in some of your reviews. It was the first thing I was asking myself and you did exactly what I was thinking about doing. Thanks for the great video! Cheers

A bit of a long-boy for a magnet. But, if the D4SV2 can do it, why not? That's an interesting UI, not sure it's my style despite the rotary element... I love a nice rotary! Interesting catch on the lumen testing - Maybe a short with some beamshots of those swapped-in XPL-HI's and your Emisar? Get a little TIR vs quad-reflector action with similar emitters? I kinda suspect I know what we'd see, though. Not sure I'd prefer it over the mega-value Brynite, though... Of course, neither really offers a CCT I'm looking for these days.
