For only $30 MSRP, the NEBO Redline is great bargain. The Nebo Redline is well-made and projects a tremendous amount of light. The beam was clear and bright with a 2 foot spot at the target. In its wide beam flood light mode the Redline lit up the front yard effectively, and illuminated the tall pines as well. I was able to light up the stop sign completely. At the corner of my street is a foreclosed home, so I took aim and lit up the windows and porch. My test, although highly unscientific, involved a stop sign 400 feet from my position and pine trees 40-50 feet away across the street. Nebo claims the spot setting can focus on something up to 450 feet away, while its wide flood light setting can illuminate everything within 60 feet. Glow in the Dark Rear Button Illumination Tests The removable rear cap features a luminescent weather-proof button and a magnetic base for hands-free lighting. Nebo doesn’t state the wattage or type of bulb, but upon closer exam it closely resembles a CREE LED. The single LED is recessed and well protected from abuse and accidental damage. The bezel twists smoothly when transitioning from a wide beam to a to tighter spot. The front bezel is tipped with an “aggressive self-defense face” and can be rotated to adjust the focus of the light beam. The body fits well in my extra large hands, but I found the grips to be somewhat slippery especially in cooler weather with dry hands. The main body features smooth knurling and a machined pattern for secure gripping. The body is well-machined from anodized aircraft-grade aluminum that Nebo says is weather-proof. Nebo mentions that a light beam “above 50 lumens within a 10 yard distance may cause temporary blindness when viewed directly.” Flashlight Body & Switchesįor starters, the Redline specs out at 4-1/2″L x 1-1/2″D and 6.85 ounces. The Redline’s emergency strobe mode can be used for safety lighting, or defensive functions. In SOS mode, the Redline can be hand held or placed on its bezel for stationary use, such as on a roadside or auto’s rooftop. The Redline operates at full power when in SOS and strobe modes. The Redline has five operating modes – three brightness settings as well as emergency strobe and SOS modes. Its lumen output is 220 lumens at full power, with stepped reductions down to 110 lumens at 50% power and 22 lumens at 10%. The light output specs from Nebo’s website were fairly impressive, especially given its low price.
