BORUiT U6

Boruit U6 £34.19 after discount Reminding me a bit like a pair of binoculars this light looked so different I could not resist buying it though the price for what is essentially a quite large keyring torch made me think seriously before investing in it as I have others that do the same job. The plastic body it is a very nice,tough plastic and the white colour compliments the black of the metal head very stylishly. I find it a very aesthetically pleasing light to look at. The two main lights seem to operate together and each has 3 domed emitters so 6 in all. Online sources suggest the light has SST20's in 3030 packages but I don't know enough to know what effect this has. The in built battery is stated in my manual as a 1100mah 18350 size so this is quite good for a small light, though for the price I would have preferred a replaceable battery even though this is unusual in these flat style keyring torches. A side light with cool and warm white options give off a decent amount of light and provide a pretty good effect especially when used as a desk light. The red is quite bright for a keyring light and flashing red completes the choices Tested in my home made test box I got over the claimed 1600lm , though it does ramp down quite quickly. Nonetheless it is rare I get a reading on my amateur test gear that gets above the advertised lumens.( I also have a Boruit EV10 and got 1000lm recorded out of the 1100 promised so full marks to Boruit for realistic claims) The clip is solid and reversible so can be clipped to a belt or used as a headlamp on a cap. There is a strong enough magnetic tail powerful enough to mount the light horizontally. Despite my initial minor niggles about the in built battery and the price this is getting an Amazon rating of 5 stars from me as it is the most pleasing light I have bought in a long while and is the brightest and best for runtime “key-chain” light I own. I have a similarly priced Rovyvon currently on my key ring which has the advantage of being smaller and having a changeable AAA alongside the built in battery. I like this option and it may well compete on run times with the U6 but with a lot less brightness overall. To be honest I think the Boruit is far too pretty to run the risk of damage on a key chain so it will probably end up attached to my belt for now.

What a torch! If you point it at the sealing it can light up the whole room. The battery life is great and I love the reversible hat clip. Just so you know, the clip swivels to the other side of the torch. It had plenty of modes with the front and side lights and the build quality is fantastic. It’s great value for money and we’ll be staying in my pocket every day.

Small and portable. Looks real cool, also having a cup to attach to the waist / pocket. Quite a number of LED choice which run quite bright, unfortunately I'm unable to measure the lumens produced. Easy to use controls, with the power button controlling the 2 main LEDs and the 2nd button controlling the side LEDs, switching between bright white light, yellow, and red, with the option of a red strobe flashing light as well. Nice torch to have either during night walks, or in the car as an emergency light source. Not bad

Nice and compact, greater brightness than expected, easy to use and decent battery life

Absolutely amazing! So far I’ve got all of them! And I will definitely buy the next one

This is a great torch, however quite uncomfortable in your mouth! And I think I may have a dodgy one because the battery life is shocking! Shame really, I've got several Boruit torches all quality, especially the V10, great piece of kit.

This torch was significantly smaller than expected, however this is an advantage as makes it great to have packed in a bag for ‘just in case’ situations. It comes well packaged in a box, containing the torch with USB C charging cable, along with a wrist strap, so comes with what you need, apart from the plug adaptor, fairly normal for this sort of product. The built in rechargeable battery (1100mAh) should give good lifespan, with a flashing red indicator appearing under the buttons while charging. The torch itself appears really well made and easy to believe the rugged claims made in the advert, being IP68 waterproof. Long pressing the button turns it on, then you cycle through the options, if you want it to be on ‘turbo’ mode then a double press is required, takes a little while to master the right speed to double press! It offers a wide variety of light modes – six for the main beam, with four being available for the rear light cluster. A good range of light brightness to suit most situations, achieved by cycling through the relevant buttons. The rotating clip holder is a good feature, enabling the light to be secured in a number of different ways, for example using the red as a marker on a back pack. The magnetic end is another useful attachment. Great compact little torch unit offering loads of light options.

This small torch has two lamps at the front and a row of leds underneath. On the top it had two buttons, the power button turns in the front lamps, firstly it starts at low, then medium and then high. It gives off a good output at the high setting. You can also make it strobe by pressing the power button three times. The other button turns on the led strip underneath the lamp,. It has a really bright white led, a more yellowly and comfortable led and a red led. You can make the red led strobe so it can be used as a warning light. On the rear of the light is a small magnet so you can attach it to something metal when in use such as a car bonnet. I tried it on the front of my fridge and it stayed put well but was also easy to remove. It is supplied with a usb cable and a small land yard and a round clip for your key ring.
