Nebo Redline Tactical Flashlight Review
The Nebo Redline Model #5557 Tactical has a number of elements that make it a very attractive buy for anyone looking for a new light. Among the most attractive bits is the ability to shine a 220 lumen beam at a cost of less than $30.
For use indoors or conserving battery power the Redline also has 2 lower output modes that throw a beam at 50% (110 lumens) and 10% (22 lumens) respectively. Apart from the variable intensity modes the redline also has two emergency strobe modes, one of the strobe modes can signal S.O.S in Morse code automatically. The Redline runs on 3 AAA batteries.
This flashlight measures 4.5" L x 1.5" D and weighs in at 6.85 ounces, which make the Redline a compact and lightweight carry light that can fit well in most hands. The casing is made of a hard anodized aluminum alloy that Nebo claims in the specifications to be "weather-proof" The front of the flashlight has a crenelated bezel that can be used for self defense, but also is handy for indicating if the light is on when laying flat on the ground. The rear of the light is magnetized, which allows it to be attached to metal walls or ceiling for hands free operation.
For $30, this flashlight has a number of features comparable with tactical flashlights that cost more than triple the price--which makes this light a terrific bargain.
