Rovyvon Flashlights

Small lights with more than one kind of light in them are what Rovyvon builds. The company began in Shenzhen in 2017 making high-output keychain flashlights, and says it still develops its electronics in-house, assembles in Shenzhen and machines parts in Dongguan. Nearly every model listed here pairs a main white beam with something else: colored or UV sidelights, a green laser, or a downward light for the ground at your feet.

The Aurora A5 at $37 is the keychain entry, in a glow-in-the-dark polycarbonate body. The Angel Eyes flat lights run from built-in cells charged over USB-C: the E60 is the palm-sized one, the E80 carries the strongest UV in the family, and the E90 is the brightest Rovyvon flat light. The E10 family, the E10-LU, E10 Pro and E10 Max, swaps the built-in cell for AA-format power and adds a click-and-scroll wheel with an OLED display; Rovyvon says the Pro and Max differ only in their sidelights. The HM10 headlamp and the SL10 clip-on safety light also run from AA or 14500 cells.

Aurora A5 owners rate its output as serious for something that lives on a keyring and like the side LEDs for close work, but say there are no shortcuts to moonlight or high, the USB-C plug is harder to seat than most, and the built-in cell makes the light disposable once it wears out.

That last point is worth weighing across the range. On the Aurora and Angel Eyes lights the cell is sealed in, and Rovyvon's 2-year limited warranty treats normal battery capacity loss as wear, not a defect. If long service life matters, the E10 family, HM10 and SL10 take replaceable AA-format cells, including 1.2V NiMH and 1.5V alkaline AAs. Before buying an E10, also check the laser class: Rovyvon sells both a Class 3R and a Class I green laser depending on the variant.
