YouOKLight-Portable Flood Light from GearBest- Review

Hello
I am testing for you a fully flood portable lamp,with built in rechargeable battery pack.
The lamp is suited for different indoor or outdoor use-for work,camping,emergency,domestic illumination, construction industry,property management,and other activities.
The lamp was provided by GearBest for test and review.

Product Coupon code: 10WFloodlight

The YouOKLight comes in a cardboard box.

In real world work environment.
The angle of the light is quite wide.
Sufficient when using the lamp as an ambient light or for some work,that does not require a lot of light.
The beam is quite floody and does not provide high brightness at long distance.
If you are working something serious,you still may need a good headlamp.

The light coming from the LED is Cool White with some bluish tint.

 Two brightness levels- High/Low.


Comfortable handle thanks to the foam tube added. Could be a plus if you plan to carry the light for long periods of time,outdoor.
The size and form are quite good for stable grip.


The YouOKLight comes with two chargers-for indoor and outdoor charging.

Home charging adapter with output 8.4V, 1A

Car charger with output 8.4V, 1A



The main specifications can be seen on the back of the plastic housing.

The Lamp can be detached from its stand.Just have to unscrew the connecting bolt.
There are few openings allowing to mount the lamp to different stands,etc.

On the back of the lamp are mounted both switches and the charging port.
I should note the lack of any marking indicating,which switch is for On/Off and which for mode changing.
It seems easy to remember,but when you are in the dark and even on light is somehow hard to find the right switch.It is needed some time to get used with the position of the switches.
The charging port has water sealing,rubber cap.
Both switches are also protected by clear covers. The light can be used in humid or dusty environment.


Below is a Run/Time graph for High mode.
The maximum battery voltage is 8,4V. The LED is for 6V voltage.
The voltage is limited to the required level by a resistor.
The second-lower mode is also adjusted with another resistor.

Usually so wide angle beam is hard to measure with a regular integrated sphere. I tried to measure the lumen output in a cardboard box and got this numbers:
Max brightness on High mode 556 lumens
Max brightness on Low mode 152 lumens
The used LED is powered with 6,2V on High mode and 5,5V on Low mode.
Current draw on High mode I=750mA (4.65W)
Current draw on Low mode I=190mA (1.045W)

Here is the front of the lamp,disassembled.
Metal frame and thick tempered glass are mounted on the front.

Below is the back of the lamp disassembled.
There is a battery pack of four batteries,glued in the plastic housing.
They seem to be 18650 batteries, 2x2200mAh in series with another two in parallel connection.
The lamp is advertised as 4400mAh,7.4V.
I did not cut the wrapping(yet) to see their brand.
Here is a close up picture of the limiting resistors.

The front glass is protected from dust and water with a thick silicone gasket.

The big LED is mounted directly on the metal housing.There is quite enough thermal paste between them.
The whole back side of the housing is formed as cooling fins.The heat dissipation is quite good.
Two screws ensures tight press for good heat transfer. There are two more threaded holes,but without screws added.
Thick enough wires,well soldered.

The reflector is made of very thin metal.It reflects small part of the light and does not have the purpose to focus the light in small hotspot,so more special reflector is not needed.
