Sports reviews of ATN J68 Tactical Flashlight 68 Lumen LED bulb
Customer Review: So far, so good
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I am a proud (so far) new owner of this nifty little gadget and so decided to pen a review. Mind you I've owned it for all of two days but I hope to provide the best information on this item by keeping you- the reader informed as time goes by.
Ordering: Ordered it here at Amazon and chose the free shipping option. It shipped from California and arrived in under 10 days. Not bad considering I ordered it just before the week of Christmas.
Packaging: Arrived in a plain brown box, sealed with tamper evident type tape. Inside the plain brown box was the actual manufacturer box with the fancy logos and stuff. Inside that box were some foam blocks, etc. It appears it would be pretty hard to damage the item during shipping and handling.
Appearance: Perfect. The Humvee of flashlights. If there ever was a definition of 'tactical flashlight', this one fits the bill. I love it.
Feel/Quality: Solid. The J68 feels great in your hand. It is lightweight but has a solid feel to it. Everything one would expect.
Build: The bulb housing is the widest part of the flashlight, I guess you call it the head or bezel, or whatever. After the head is a octagonal ring that actually is a little larger than the head and from what I can tell is there only to prevent the flashlight from rolling. After that you will find the smaller diameter tube, straddled by two huge rubber O rings, followed by the end cap. The end cap houses the 'intermittent on' button. The first thing I noticed about this button is that it is not a button but a solid mounted rubbery surface. When you press it, doing so compresses the end cap of the light just enough to turn on the beam. If you want to actually turn 'on' the flashlight, you twist the end cap all the way 'closed'. This does not interfere with operation, nor does it make operating the light difficult, it just concerns me that water, dirt, or any other liquid or foreign substance may enter the end cap, i'll update this review should that occur.
Set-up: The Javelin J68 ships with two 'camera' type batteries. For those unfamiliar with this battery type - imagine a short AA battery. These batteries are readily available anywhere and are relatively inexpensive. What I like about this is that I can buy spares and keep them handy, versus having to worry about charging some proprietery battery all the time, and/or potentially spending $50 to replace a battery for a $70 flashlight.
I read and followed the instructions for battery installation - unscrew the end cap, insert the two batteries, screw on the end cap until it stops. Then back off (unscrew) the end cap approximately 1/2 turn. Again, with a rechargeable, I could have been stuck waiting hours while the battery 'fully charged', while compared to this light, I installed the batteries, and was on my way bathing my surroundings with $70 worth of LED generated light.
Brightness: This thing is super bright. I very strongly urge anyone operating such a flashlight to not ever shine it in a person's or animal's eyes. Unlike many flashlights, LED type included, this one is so bright you can still see the 'spot' on a wall in daylight. The beam or spot is not adjustable. I don't know that this matters.
Battery life: Not yet determined. I intend to update this review as time passes.
Durability: Not yet determined. I intend to update this review as time passes.
Overall opinion: If you like 'tactical' gear, need a great bright flashlight, and are willing to dish out the extra cash, this is one nice light. This would make a great gift if you could force yourself to part with it. I should mention this is not a toy. Only time will tell if the J68 performs like a Humvee, or more like that of an "H3".
