WOWTAC A7

I don't pull punches when reviewing items, and I get disgusted with shoddy workmanship, so when I find a deal like this, I'm always skeptical. I ordered one for myself, already impressed by reviews, but still, you never know what's real anymore until you have the experience yourself. It's more than what it claims to be, the price is pretty much unreal when you consider the competition. It's a great little light, but I'm not going to pretend it stacks up against something that costs 3x more, that's silly. My review is positive due to it delivering exactly what it says, for the money, and more. I don't want to use an $80+ light when I'm doing most things, regardless of warranty, I'd still be without a light if something went wrong, or I asked it to do something it's not designed for, that's what I love about this light, you get an AMAZING little rechargeable, that's rugged, and has a great grip for around $25. You're not going to cry about it, if you lose it. There's nothing to hate, or even pick on for that amount of money. obviously, if you can afford the better lights, it's convenient to have things like magnetic charging and pretty things like that, but this is a little light that just delivers for the money, and that's the best part about it. It's my new EDC. GG WOWTAC! -the only thing I'd ask for, and it's very little, would be the ability to switch the clip to the other side for cap use.

I bought this last year to use on my property where there is no light at night (picture having to stumble out at 3 AM for potty time). It has really surpassed my expectations, here's why 1. Battery life. I am charging it tonight for the first time in over a year! I've used it many times on its highest setting with no issues, cold or hot weather doesn't seem to be a problem. 2. Great light settings. The brightest is my go to for looking around for things at night like firewood in the summer when I don't want to get a scorpion sting. The other settings are great too. 3. Easy to click on or off. No stuck or hard to push button even with gloves. 4. Price. I've got headlamps, many tactical flashlights, lanterns you name it. The price was perfect for this small yet powerful light. I definitely recommend it. FYI- if you get the purple charging light, simply put it on the lowest setting and replug.

The A7 is the great little rechargeable flashlight in the middle. Looking forward to using it on a regular basis. The A5 is the largest and the W1 is the smallest. The brightness of all three is shown in a small bathroom at the highest setting sitting on a counter pointed towards the ceiling. All 3 provide similar and more than adequate brightness. The W1 can easily be carried in a purse or keychain. The A7 would be perfect for a pocket clip or purse. The A5 is a beefy heavier model for people who like or need the extra weight to hold it steady. A note when charging the A7, depress the tail switch to turn it on PRIOR to plugging it in to charge. If you don't do this, it will give you the purple faulty charge indicator. I almost sent it back because of this until I read the directions more thoroughly.

I have a Fenix PD35 as well as this Wow A7. They do the same thing in the same way. As far as operation there is no difference. The WowA7 can be had for around $30. The Fenix is around $72. I picked my Fenix up on eBay for $42. Now lets look at why the Fenix is better. First off It says you are supposed to get a pocket clip with the Wow. I did not receive a pocket clip. The back button is hard to push on the Wow. The protrusions on the back of the light stick into my palm and are uncomfortable. If you touch the little rubber tab that covers the recharging port it pops open. It depends on what is important to you. If you want a good functional light for a good price. The Wow A7 is a good choice. If you care about the little things the Fenix is a better choice. For $12 more I'll take the Fenix PD35.

I'll start off by saying that this little thing is bright! It's not the brightest, not even for the money. But I bet for it's size it most likely is, especially for this price. The Anker boulder is slightly brighter for the same price, however, it is at least twice the size of this wowtac. I would rather carry this little guy and have comparable brightness than lug around the Anker. This little wowtac has definitely surprised me with it's performance. The controls take a little while to get used to but I actually like them better than your standard light. Great job on this little light wowtac!

For my needs, this little feature packed rechargeable beauty checks every box. The fit and finish along with the overall feel is spot on. This my second one as my previous one decided to get lost. The light comes well package with extras in the that you'll use. I use my light everyday and in 2 years of ownership, it's always done its job well. I still question how they can sell this light for the lyrics as everything about this light just screams high quality. Ive more expensive lights in this size but none of those measured up to this light.

When ever you are lucky enough to get a full charge the light works well and gets the job done, but it is almost impossible to charge it. Charging is never easy, it takes me 20-30 minutes to troubleshoot the charging process. In this day and age charging should be a no brainer and not require troubleshooting! Most times I give up in trying to charge it and use other cheaper light, every once in a while I remember I own this and I give it a try to see if I can charge it. Do not buy, charging complications makes it a bad choice for a flash light, since sometimes when you need a flash light its bc its an emergency
