Cyansky P10 EDC Flashlight Review



Introduction

Everyone loves EDC flashlight, especially an AA powered flashlight!  I'm pretty sure that most of us have everything about a flashlight, from the crazy lumens monster to a tactical flashlight on our flashlight famous corner. 

But, i bet almost every single day you don't need that fancy flashlight, right?  For me, my favorite flashlight that have been in a service for years is only an EDC Flashlight, well, I don't ever need to thousand crazy lumens for my daily use.

So today I'm going to review the newest affordable EDC flashlight from Cyansky, the new P10. A portable EDC flashlight that is powered by a single AA or NiMH rechargeable batteries. This is my first experience with them, Cyansky: I've heard about their products but never had to decide to buy anything. 

As a newcomer, I don't see Cyansky receiving any complaints about their products on any forum, and their representative is also very active in listening to their fans and encouraging any possibility for a flashlight. 

And now I'm lucky to get my very first Cyansky P10 from FlashlightGo.  

If you're interested with this flashlight, i ll put the link on the bottom of this page, so stay tuned! 

What's inside

You get a nice small package flashlight with a blue colored accent. As an AA flashlight, Cyansky included their Alkaline battery on the P10.

Build quality and impression

As an EDC flashlight, I'm quite impressed with Cyansky P10 quality.  It doesn't feel cheap and the finishing is perfect, especially for my P10 that have OD green, so tempting for a little flashlight.  The only complain is the clip, i appreciate for the use of bi-directional clip for the P10, as an EDC this kind of clip is really helpful for real life scenario.  The only drawback is the clip isn't fit in its position, it's kind of loosen at its place and the material i think is not so strong. 




Specifications

The Cyansky P10 use an Osram Duris P9 LED that can produce up to 350 lumens on high output.  P10 only supports standard AA alkaline (1.5 volt) or NIMH (1.2 volt) rechargeable batteries; lithium 14500 (3.7 volt) batteries are prohibited as the driver will fry up.

The best thing about the Cyansky P10 is the lens. They decided to use a TIR (total internal reflector) lens, so the beam pattern is quite soft and balanced, really pleasing for the eyes.

User interface

The Cyansky P10 has a simple operation: the tail is a forward click, half press for the momentarily on or to switch between the outputs. It has only three output levels: low (3 lumens), medium (50 lumens), and high (300 lumens for a Alkaline battery). Cyansky P10 also has a memory mode, so it will remember the last output that was used. 

Batteries and Performance

Cyansky is understand for their customers, instead of making an extraordinary claim like any other brand about their flashlight performance, they're put the graphical chart for lumens output and the runtime.  So their user have a knowledge for their products.  The highest output 300 lumens will stand for 3 hours and stepping down to 200 lumens right after 10 minutes and stable output until it last for 3 hours . 

For the lowest output, it can last for 168 hours or one week. This test is provided by Cyansky on a controlled environment, of course there will be different on actual use. 


Beamshots

Actual distance is 15 meters

Medium 50 Lumens

High 350 lumens (Nimh)

Lumintop High 650 Lumens

Olight 500 Lumens

Conclusion

So the Cyansky P10 is the new favorite for an EDC AA flashlight? Well, i must say, Yes!  It's a really solid little flashlight.  Nothing much to say, but it is what it is: an EDC flashlight and a backup single AA flashlight. Really solid and has 3 color available and good reputation brand.   I wish they will make another option for the tint color, a neutral white or warm must be awesome for this little light.

Nextorch TA30C Max compatible with FR-2 Tac ring and V5/51 Holster  1. Introduction In the flashlight community, there's a term for a tactical flashlight. If you've never heard of them, it's a flashlight that has a special purpose for a tactical task, specifically for people who work for the military or law enforcement.  These days, so many flashlights on the market claim to be tactical flashlights. Don't be fooled by this tag because some of them are really not tactical at all, just a marketing gimmick. As a regular civilian, my first priority when choosing a flashlight is its operation mode. Many of the modern flashlights have many features that I don't need, which is why I always look for a tactical flashlight for its ease of use. There are several standards for a tactical flashlight that I know of: 1. No nonsensical user interface  2. Intuitive operations 3. Tough enough for harsh environments 4. Capable of being mounted to a weapon 5. Capable of direct

Fenix TK20R UE Tactical Flashlight Review

  1. Introduction Before I begin, let me first thank the Fenix guy for sending me this flashlight! If you have read my previous review, you know that I have an obsession with tactical flashlight. The idea was simple: it must have an intuitive user interface, full stop. As a person who prefers high-low or low-high-only flashlights, tactical flashlights are the only segmentation that suits my preferences. If you're looking for a tactical flashlight, you'll probably get confused because of the term "tactical." Almost every brand uses this tagline for marketing purposes, not the actual ones. You might consider a battle-proven flashlight like Surefire or any US brand, but not everyone is willing to spend extra bucks on a flashlight. Fortunately for us, now we have many options for a really good quality flashlight with a "reasonable price" in the market, just like Fenix, the brand that has existed for more than 20 years for its professional lighting so
