Inova X1 Review 2011 edition 55 lumens

Quick review on an inexpensive 1 AA powered EDC light from inova. The X1 has been around for a number of years, but beginning in 2011 new electronics were added to give it more power. The X1 now has a maximum output of 55 lumens, up from 25 on previous editions. It also features a lower output of 6 lumens to extend run time and for close up viewing. What the inova X1 keeps is it's durable design and high quality aluminum components. For around $20 you just can't ask for a better light

I have a question regarding something you said midway in this video. You mentioned that if you leave it off for for 1hr or so, it has a nice feature that preserved your night vision where it turn on high for a split second and then goes to low. I tried that; no luck. Are you sure it's not a fluke where you twisted and it made 2 contacts and changed it to low mode?

@hornymonk626 It could be, but mine does it every time I let it sit for a while. I tried everything to see if it was just the contacts and it still does it.

I just checked again to make sure and it's still switching to low. I use alkaline cells (duracell and energizer)and it also worked with a rayovac nimh rechargeable. Could just be a defect with my specific light.

@TacticalAngel86 Wish my older brother bought me a flashlight when I was little......All he did was practice painful wrestling moves on me, LOL

@sirmasterpimp I beat him up a lot when he was little. he's turning 20.

@TacticalAngel86 Good gift, there is always a use for a flashlight!

I bought this light last month at Target on impulse. I already had an X5 for many years but only used it for work since it was a little to big for EDC. I was so impressed with the X1 that not only do I use it as my EDC light but it also replaced the X5 as my work light. Nice review by the way..

@LeathermanFan2 Some of my best lights are the cheaper ones.....$26 coleman max 115 lumens, $20 river rock 75 lumen, $20 dorcy, rayovac....etc just due to the fact that they are direct drive with no other electronics. I still love my expensive lights also for the sheer coolness factor. As a flashlight reviewer I have the opportunity to review all types of lights, everything from 20 lumens up to 3,000 so far. As long as the light holds up to testing I'm cool with it.
