FirePak Smartphone Video Illuminator #firepak #surefire #surefirelifestyle #iPhone



This multi-use product is great!

I got this pack because I was looking for a way to charge my phone from a battery backup. This is not the main feature of the product but is what first god me interested in looking at it. The more I looked at it the more I became interested and realized the many possibilities that it would provide.

Check out the difference the high powered lights make when shooting in low or no light situations. If makes a huge difference that cannot be beat by the lights on the phones itself. This is the main purpose of the pack, to be a high powered light for both Android and iPhone. This light can be used as a handheld illuminator or as an attached video and photo light with your phone. Pairing the FirePak with the Surefire phone case allows both to clip together as one unit. The high powered LEDs are controlled by the slider switch on the side of the unit and allows you to light your pictures as videos with light between 100 and 1,500 lumens. (100, 300, 600 and 1,500). If you use the bluetooth app you can get an even more precious amount of light and not be held to these four settings. The light on the highest setting is enough to blind you so don’t point it directly at others up close.

Another great feature is the fact that  is is a phone charge or battery backup. The side has a rubber cover that when opened reveals two ports. One is a micro USB and the other is a normal USB. This allows for the unit itself to be charge from eith port and use the other to charge another device. You know that the unit is charging by looking at the indicator on the front below and to the right of the LEDs. IF it is green you are charging or have a good charge on FirePak. If it is red it needs to be charged. The slider switch used to select the light output uses the first setting to illuminate the indicator light. The power can also be monitored from the bluetooth app as well.

And last but certainly not least that FirePak is made of a high impact polymer which makes it very durable for many years of use in all kinds of situations. It can be used when walking in dark spaces for personal security like blinding someone temporarily or as a flashing signal to get other people's attention. Since it lights up to 50 feet away i am sure it is seen much much further than that. I also intend on using it for emergency preparedness either as a light or as my battery backup for other devices.

I give this product an easy 5 star rating because of its many features and way outdoing my original expectations.
