NEBO Lil Larry 500 Flex Rechargeable 500 Lumen COB LED Flashlight with Magnetic Base, USB-C, IPX4

Packing a 500-lumen punch into a pocket-sized aluminium frame, the Lil Larry 500 Flex delivers workhorse lighting that bends, sticks, and adapts to almost any task. A flexible body and magnetic tail let you aim the beam exactly where you need it, while dual-colour COB LEDs switch from brilliant white to red for preserving night vision.

Overview

At its core, a high-output COB LED pushes 500 lumens across a 50-metre beam on High, then drops to 200 lumens and 30 metres for close-up work. Four modes – High, Low, Red COB, and Red Flash – cover everything from detailed repairs to emergency signalling. Power memory recalls your last-used mode, so you never cycle through options again.
