Aurora A28

I had spent several years thinking about buying a RovyVon flashlight—no joke. Part of it was trying to actually build the finances for the flashlight, but that's more of a personal problem than anything. All I knew is that I wanted one and for the LONGEST TIME—however, I was focused on buying one of the smaller models. Then I randomly discovered the A28 Gen 2, did my research, compared the measured dimensions and decided this model is the superior in all senses: Bigger battery, brighter light, two buttons, more light options and shortcuts. Now that I've possessed this A28 Gen 2 (high output) for some time, I feel comfortable enough to say that it's earned a permanent place in my EDC kit, specifically on my keychain. The main light—itself—is awesome and gets so bright that you literally won't use the brightest light as often as you'd think; unless you're always outdoors. I invite anyone curious to read the user manual to this thing because it is packed with so many features to appeal to virtually any scenario. This includes a very fast strobe feature using it's max 1000lm brightness, which I believe can be used as (and not suggested by RovyVon) a type of self defense mechanism. But if you're looking for self defense, please don't exclude yourself to only photons! There's even an SOS strobe feature which flashes "SOS" in morse code! Who thinks of this stuff? The White LED sidelight is a great general micro-floodlight with two levels of brightness: 2lm and 60lm. You would think that it will turn the entire flashlight into a tiny lantern but keep in mind that all sidelights are pointed at a transparent non-frosted part of the chassis, so most of that light is directed outwardly instead of shining in itself. The main ray of light spans about a 90 degree angle, with VERY faint light coming from the frosted sides of the chassis collectively spanning 270 degrees. I wouldn't rely on the faint light for anything you want to look at directly. This is a warm/yellowish LED. The Red LED sidelight has a ton of features pack into itself, such as a strobe and beacon style of flashing. My favorite is that it has two fixed brightness levels: 3lm and 35lm. With a Red LED wavelength at 625nm, this technically qualifies as a darkroom red light. This is ideal when you need to see in the dark but do not want to lose how adjusted your eyes are to the dark. I do not suggest to stare directly at the red light as I've done this by mistake and gave myself a small headache. The UV LED sidelight is the only non-adjustable light, meaning it will always shine at a fixed brightness level, no additional special features. It does it's job on bank notes and other florescent/UV-able things. Turning it on will activate the glow-in-the-dark circuit board, which is the only part that "glows" on this product. The glow is good enough to tell you where the flashlight is located in the dark, I don't think the glow from the circuit board is strong enough to serve another functional purpose. Adding on about the UV LED sidelight, I have not run any tests on any potential disinfecting capabilities of the UV LED, however the manual states the UV wavelength is 365nm, which qualifies to have disinfecting properties. The manual reads that you should get 106 hours of UV runtime on a single charge, so I'm pretty sure that you can use the UV LED for an EXTREMELY LIMITED small scope disinfectant. The magnetic belt hook has a long tiny strong magnet that seems possible to extract, however it is impossible to extract without damaging the hook or the magnet. I'm happy to know it's not a cheap-o magnet, it will lock the flashlight on magnetic surfaces and bears the strength to allow the flashlight to be angled and it won't droop or sag. Top quality stuff. While I don't share this same opinion, I feel like the only complaint that you hear from others about this flashlight is that it is bigger than another set of models produced by the same manufacturer. Some people find this uncomfortable, and to a point: irredeemable. I suggest to check out the dimensions to be clear on what you're investing in. I use this A28 Gen 2 frequently yet never used it for such long periods that I've ran out of battery on a single use. In fact, I've had this product since March 2023 (it's August 2023 now) and I've only needed to recharge it twice. My final thoughts: This product rocks. If you're able to sacrifice the small space that this item will consume, I see no reason why you shouldn't keep this in your EDC.

It’s easy to use, the functions aren’t that hard to remember and they become second nature if you use it enough. It shines ridiculously far, I can see everything I need to at night when walking my dog or just when I have to use it (I usually use it to check fluid levels on my vehicle). The magnetic clip is ridiculously strong, you can pretty much stick it anywhere there’s metal and pop on the warm white side light and it’ll light up a good area, maybe about 5-6 ft around yourself. The UV light isn’t the strongest but it definitely gets the job done. You can actually use it to identify counterfeit dollars, off topic, but I used it to look around my dark kitchen and well… you’d be surprised of the amount of cooking stains I found. It also helps finding my dogs lost tennis balls or identify if he’s peed anywhere he shouldn’t. Personally I have it attached to my keys, but it does get a little cumbersome at times. Otherwise I don’t really notice it. Part of the reason I bought it was for self defense by shining the bright ass light at someone and high tailing it! It’s good for temporarily blinding animals that you don’t want near you either, there are A LOT of skunks and coyotes where I’m at and unfortunately I accidentally blinded a poor skunk coming out of some brush one night when I was walking. Anyway, it’s quick to charge and it stays charged for a few weeks! I think the only con really is not being able to know what the battery level is, otherwise it’s a solid flashlight with a lot of functions and fairly priced in my opinion. I highly recommend this little light!

Best flashlight I've ever had. Tons of features packed into a pocket-sized tool. In addition to mine, I've bought several others now as gifts and had folks go out and buy their own after seeing mine in action. It takes a second to get used to the button sequences, but once you have it down it's so easy to switch between everything. The magnetic double-sided clip is amazing, I sue this clipped to my hat brim more often than I use a headlamp these days. The battery life is excellent, I feel like I barely ever have to charge the thing.

Love this flash light but wish they'd design a headlamp attachment! Perfect flashlight for everyday use. I live in a more rural area with sparse city lights so this helps us quite a lot at night while out with our dog. Not only does it make us obvious for vehicles coming towards us but we can keep an eye on the ground to make sure our pet doesn't eat anything he should not. Just flip on the bright setting for a second and it is like daylight! The side dim setting and the moonlight setting are great enough to see most things at night and not blind anyone or yourself. I charged my light once and it's been at least a couple weeks now using it at night on our short walks and haven't had to charge it at all. Fits nicely into a coat pocket for me so it's there exactly when I need it. Hard to believe something this powerful and feature rich is so small and relatively cheap!

I’ve purchased almost all models from RovyVon. I think the most successfully engineered model has been the Aurora A28. I have both original one and newer two button models. The older model has a usb-a plug and the newer model usb-c. I’m all for the usb-c but the older model has a larger rubber plug. I feel it’s a more secure fit and easier to remove and replace for charging. The new model has a tiny rubber plug which I feel is going to break off in no time. They do supply an extra plug but I guess that’s not my point. It feels like a step backwards. RovyVon engineers: make the plug bigger. As a conniseur of the finer implements of artificial photonic emission I admire the quality of your engineering. Even my old models are still working great. My ideal model would be a GITD clear polycarbonate case maybe twice the size of the current A28 with amber red white uv sidelight and magnetic clip on charger so there is a truly waterproof seal.

This thing is great. The operation is a little hard to use because it's unconventional to turn on. In other words, if you hand this to a stranger, they won't really be able to use it effectively. But once you know how to use it, it's fantastic. I'm not even gonna dock a star for that because it's really just great. Very pocketable, recharging via usb-c, battery lasts forever, I've had it for a long time and haven't even had to charge it yet. I use it every day when I let my dog in the yard at night. The UV feature is super cool and great for freaking people out about how unclean their house is. The red light is great for maintaining night vision, and the main beam is just truly amazing. I was out hunting with it on me having forgotten my main light and this thing throws a beam extremely far. Furthermore, it seems to be indestructible, it has been through my washer/dryer with no issues whatsoever (don't recommend though). The magnetic clip is great. Overall I'm very glad I purchased it and I would buy it again and in fact I might do that just to have one in my truck.

I am very irritated with the Aurora A28. They definitely did their Research and Development on the materials for making this light last just long enough to get out of warranty. I bought it in June 5 2024. It died on July 17th 2026, just one month after it was out of warranty. For a $60.00 flashlight, this thing should've lasted ten years. It was great while it worked.

After 14 months of almost daily use I feel well qualified to compliment this little dynamo. This thing is great! I also have high-end Fenix and Nightcore flashlights that are Much more expensive, but this versatile little character is what I end up using 98% of the time for situations around the home and auto. The two level side light is used constantly for reading and doing puzzles while watching TV, and when I need extra light to find something in the house or garage this light is easy to grab and fits well in a pocket or clamps securely on the bill of a cap. The hat clip is magnetic and holds well to many locations while providing good lighting, even in tight locations, either using the side or primary lights, while working on my cars. The run times are also good and the battery has continued to take a full charge after many charging cycles, noting that Rovyvon also sells a replacement battery should you ever need one, a good option, as this is not an option on many of the small flashlights. I have not had a need to use the two level side red lights, but it also works well, and if desired, using this function the light could even be clipped on the back of a cycling jersey, pants, or belt to be used as a tail-light if riding a bike in the dark. I think that I should probably buy at least one more just to keep in a car…Highly recommended.

Exelente, lo recomiendo al 100, estoy pensando en comprar una más

best ever torch i see and used very powerful according to size like it

You cant go wrong with this flashlight. Well built! More than enough for normal daily usage!

شوف عليه مقاطع في اليوتيوب .. ممتاز للبر و الطلعات فيه مزايا كثير منها وضعية الطوارئ للإغاثة و انارة فوق البنفسجية والكوفر شفاف يقلب إنارة كاملة غير الكشاف .. الأهم من ذلك ينشحن بمدخل يو إس بي سي المعتمد عالميا

This thing is cool. It actually does everything it says it does. I am a firefighter and I used it in a training scenario last week and all of the modes came in handy.
