Our Verdict

If you’re in search of a tactical flashlight, we believe that the Hyper V Ultra Bright Tactical Flashlight from J5 Tactical is worth looking into. Customers can purchase the product on Amazon for less than $20, which is incredible value for a product of its size, strength, and durability. The Hyper V measures 5.2” x 1.6” x 1.6” and weighs approximately 3.5 ounces.

There is a red button on the end of the flashlight that allows users to turn it on and off. Users can also use this button to cycle through the High, Low, and Strobe settings. During testing, we notice that there was a significant difference in the brightness of the High and Low settings. Some customers indicated in online reviews that they were frustrated trying to cycle through the light settings, although our team did not seem to have any problems.

The Hyper V shines a square beam of light up to 800 feet. The company strongly advises that users do not look at the light directly, as it could cause a blinding effect. However, this could be extremely useful during tactical situations, as it would allow you to disorient your enemy.

One of the things that stood out to us most about this product was its durability. J5 made the flashlight of aluminum alloy, making it rugged enough to stand up to the toughest of tests. During product testing, the flashlight was able to withstand falls up to nine feet. Additionally, we were able to submerge the equipment in water without problem temporarily.

Some customers noted that they ran over their flashlight with a truck and put it in the freezer, and it still worked well. This could provide users with peace of mind, as they could rest assured that their product would operate under the most extreme circumstances. J5 only manufacturers the Hyper V using a black aluminum alloy, so there are no other colors available.

The Hyper V comes with a belt clip that allows users to attach the flashlight to a belt loop or secure it on the inside of their pocket. The ability to do so is necessary for tactical situations, as users will want to have easy access to their equipment. Unfortunately, if there is anything wrong with this product, it’s the belt clip.

For as durable as the flashlight it, many customer reviews indicated that the clip did not stay secure. Customers said that the frequently needed to re-tighten the clip so that it stayed secure on the flashlight. Fortunately, J5 Tactical offers a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee with this product. If you bought it and had problems with the belt clip, we recommend that you contact the company to secure a replacement.

The Hyper V Ultra Bright Tactical Flashlight has a 4.3-star review on Amazon with nearly 2,900 customer reviews. Of those who reviewed the product, almost 70 percent gave it a five-star rating. It is considerably cheaper to order the product from Amazon than it is to order from J5 Tactical directly, as it costs a little less than $40 on the company website.

Lastly, you’ll need three AAA batteries to power the product. J5 Tactical does not include batteries with the product. Some users complained that the new batteries provided a mere few hours of light when they left the product on for an extended period. However, regular tactical use should allow the batteries to last for at least a couple of weeks, if not longer.

In summary, we believe that the Hyper V Ultra Bright Tactical Flashlight from J5 is worth considering for your tactical arsenal. The flashlight is compact and lightweight without sacrificing performance. At less than $20, it’s a reasonable investment that could help keep you safe without breaking the bank.
