First of all, it is not rechargeable, as stated only in the store advertisement, but not on the packaging, since there is no port for charging cable connection.

As for the quality and illumination, compared to its price, I have lenses from Anker and Convoy at a lower price, which are indeed rechargeable and have more light.

Also, the construction and the button that turns it on, which does not have memory of the last use, do not promise durability over time.

Very disappointing for its price, especially when it is not even rechargeable.

I bought the lens 2 days ago, I have 2 others from XSTAR and I trust it.... In this specific one, I give it 1 star for the following reason. It has a circular opening, which means that in order to go to the strong light, you have to click 3 times because it starts from very low, then stronger, and so on... It doesn't remember the last opening.. And if you want to see something quickly, you have to go through 3 lighting stages.. Now, as a lens, it is sturdy, durable, and seems to be of good quality... For this reason that I mentioned above, I wouldn't buy this specific one again, although XSTAR ones are very good

A quality, powerful, and beautiful everyday flashlight. With an lg mg1 3500mah, it gets you through almost all the tasks, even though it's small! The open illumination (open beam) is very practical for everyday work. The downside is the difficult switch and the lack of memory. I easily solved it with a rubber wheel inside the cover that hits the switch! With an easy switch now, I enjoy using it every day.... Because at 1000 lm and 5800cd, it helps me close warehouses, carry firewood from the shed to the house, that's enough! For mountain, hunting, and other missions, you need more lm and over 20000 cd..... That's why I say again, it's a good "everyday" flashlight.....

Very good flashlight with four levels of brightness and an additional flashing mode. Its performance in high illumination is very good, it has a very good construction and is very ergonomic.
One disadvantage it has is that it does not retain the brightness level that was set last time.

So, the XTAR WK18 PEACER 1000Lumen flashlight is incredibly powerful, it has amazing autonomy with a Samsung 18650 2.5Ah battery (I recommend it) lasting approximately 3.5 hours at 1000 lumens.
- It has a beacon mode (slow strobe) which is ideal for cycling.
- The LED is XLamp® CREE-XM-L2-U3 with a lifespan of 50,000 hours (You will hear or see it for 5,000 hours, NOT true!!!)
- The unlocked LED can deliver 1,198 lumens, but Xtar has it set at 1000 lumens because the circuit board would melt. We're talking about a BEAST.
- The body is durable with very good paint. It easily withstands falls from 1.5m+.

Be careful with the 1000 lumens, do not point it at animals or people, it is extremely powerful.

I recommend it as a flashlight for hiking or mountaineering.

Very good quality and construction for this little diamond. With a good battery, it is the ideal tactical flashlight

Powerful flashlight with very high-quality and durable materials (it has been dropped multiple times, for 5 years now, and even accidentally submerged in water with no damage). I would like it to have a wider beam. I use it as a bike light, and it requires good batteries because it drains relatively quickly with 2 750mAh Fenix batteries.
