Review: Anker Bolder LC-90: Brighter (not better) than LC-40, Still not a HEADLAMP!

Yeah, I know my request borders on absurd, but a guy can dream right!?!

Anyway, might as well ask for the moon. Theyre not called Anker Innovations for nothing!

I think the real takeaway here is that the newer LC 40 is the clear winner!

Yes I agree LC40 is the best all-rounder. For a head flashlight we’ll have to relax either battery life or brightness. The brighter headtorches have a clamp to hold off the head due to the heat problems or attach to the side of the head to allow space for a bigger battery, or they do a cabled approach to spread the weight out between beam and battery. The compact units are just dimmer.

Good review @ryandhazen , have the original LC40, x2 LC40 upgrades and the LC90…out of all of them the upgraded LC40’s are the most used…small, rechargeable and great light output, as @nigelhealy said the best all-rounder …they also make great socking fillers at Christmas :laughing:

@ryandhazen Excellent job with the review and comparison. :slight_smile: It would be cool with Anker made headlamps.

Great review and @nigelhealy you must be wandering around in the dark a lot to need that many. Could probably light up my whole grave with all of them easily and not have to pay an electric bill

So the stick-on lights are wonderful, once your eyes dark adjusted you can wander around the house with no flashlights and just them sense you and come on.

The flashlights in every room is related to earthquakes where a person may be trapped behind a moved wall, stuck door. All rooms have windows can climb out of and most homes are single-story so there’s little over your head and no height to descend from.

Oops meant to say garage. I’m not dead or writing from the grave nor do I light up other people’s gaves
That make me laugh so much though

LC40 is really small and light weighted.
If you already own a LC90 you should get this small one.
Very handy.
But try to get such ones too.
Small and USB chargeable!
