The Gorillatorch Flare delivers a powerful, smooth, and even beam fueled by its ultra-bright 100-lumen CREE LED, making it a wonderful work or reading light. Equipped with both white and red LED lights and blinking strobe modes, the Gorillatorch Flare is also prepared for any emergency. A simple push button lets you cycle through the six lighting modes, three different brightness levels for white light plus a strobe mode, in addition to both continuous and strobe red light modes, allowing you to select the best type of light for the task at hand. At its brightest setting, the Gorillatorch Flare offers 20 hours of continuous use, while you'll get up to 80 hours of battery life on economy or strobing modes. The Gorillatorch Flare uses 3 included AA batteries. Designed with real-life situations in mind, like changing batteries in the dark, all the batteries slide in the same direction.

Endless Uses

Using over two dozen leg joints that bend and rotate 360°, you can securely attach your Gorillatorch Flare to just about anything—use its bendable legs to attach it to the bedpost for lights-out reading, wrap it onto a tree branch to illuminate your campsite, or even straighten the legs and use it as a handheld flashlight to walk the dog. Your imagination is the only limit when it comes to using your Gorillatorch Flare.

Using its powerful neodymium magnetic feet, the Gorillatorch Flare can attach itself to metal surfaces such as car hoods when checking the engine, late night tire changes, or a fuse box door during power outages.

With the addition of red light, the Gorillatorch Flare now helps for both roadside emergencies as well as for night vision on a stargazing hike.

Built with tough, durable ABS plastic body and polycarbonate lens, the Gorillatorch Flare is ready to illuminate your adventures. In case things get wet, it's built water resistant (certified IPX5), meaning that it withstands water sprayed at it from every angle. With the Gorillatorch Flare, you'll have light no matter how hard it rains. Ready for rough work environments, the Gorillatorch Flare is impact resistant and has been tested to sustain drops of up to 2 meters (6 feet).

When the job is done, the Gorillatorch Flare's ultra-adaptable form factor enables you to stow it anywhere, from your trunk to your backpack. Using the magnetic feet, even the refrigerator door can make a good habitat for this little guy. It measures 7.87 x 2.95 x 2.56 inches and weighs 4.1 ounces (6.6 ounces with batteries installed). The Gorillatorch Flare is backed by a limited 1-year warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars What's it to be... The Original or the Flare?, July 2, 2010

As with the original, this light comes with Joby's bendable legs and magnetic feet. You can stand the light up and aim it anywhere, wrap the legs around post, poles, and pipes for where there's no place to stand it, and stick it to anything to which a magnet will stick. Bottom line is you'll be hard pressed to find a situation where you couldn't find a place to set the light and have it illuminate what you want.

The question is, do you want this one or the original ( Joby Gorilla torch Adjustable and Flexible Tripod Flashlight, Gray)? The difference isn't really in the price, $35 vs $30. It's not in the amount of light (as you'll see). The choice is based on the kind of light you need.

It's not clear from the description but this light has six settings (seven if you count "off"). Those... Read more

So besides looking cute and a little alien like, this flashlight is totally usable in all situations. I purchased it for my husband to use mostly on our bass boat and auto repair shop. Since the boat is made of fiberglass, we use the magnets to attach it to the windshield frame. Works great those those late nights out trolling for walleye. He started using it as a spot light to work on vehicles but decided against it because he was worried he would forget about it and the owner of the car would drive off with his Gorillatorch stuck inside their hood. :-)

Comes with six different light settings. Both the white and red LED lights are perfect for any situation or emergency. The body is durable and easy to twist and bend in any position. Uses 2 AA batteries which are included. It is water resistant but it is not waterproof. It can withstand rain but if it drops into a body of water, I can't promise you it will survive (we have not tested it for that).

Great... Read more
