What we like about it
We love ultra-bright flashlights, but run-time is always a concern. The ZX-1 has a long run-time: 2 hour bright, dims for 4 hours, and up to 10 hours on low. This flashlight has an impressive throw of 150 yards and the flood beam is designed to not give any hot spots or over-spilling.
The advanced LED is also capable of zoom with an easily adjustable lens that zooms smoothly due to ridges on the outside of the lens. Another feature we love is the rapid charger to recharge the battery. However, when you’re in a bind this light can also run on 3 AAA batteries. This tactical light also has a striking bezel on the end.
Here is what some customers have said about this flashlight:
One customer wrote”Outstanding flashlight! Just what I wanted and then some. Super bright, compact and well made.”
Another satisfied customer wrote”Given as a gift to my son-in-law who farms. Many nights he has to check irrigation water or bale the hay at the right moisture. Does the job for him.”
What we don’t like about it
The light has the ability to switch between 5 light modes, but the ease of switching between each mode can sometimes be a hassle. We wish the light had a memory mode or more than a tail-switch to toggle through all 5 modes. The flashlight isn’t as high quality as some other flashlights we reviewed.
Conclusion
Overall, a rechargeable flashlight with a sturdy 6” body and intense light capabilities make the Solaray Pro ZX-1 a great choice. It would be a great item to add to your bug out bag checklist. We would recommend this as a good budget friendly flashlight for simple tasks.
