Cyansky P10: Portable AA EDC Flashlight

You probably never heard brand name before, Cyansky, pronounced [‘saiæn,skai]. Cyanskylight Co, Ltd., started their businesses in 2017 focusing on LED flashlights, LED headlamps, and accessories for hunting and shooting, police tactical law enforcement and self-defense, outdoor adventure, EDC and et cetera.

Cyansky P10 arrived today from FlashlightGO.com. This nifty, compact portable EDC flashlight runs on the ubiquitous single AA battery. I like the beam profile, which is tight and nice, and the simple user interface. A very decent flashlight for $25.

Here is an overlook on Cyansky P10:

• Single OSRAM DURIS P9 6500K LED emitter
• Single AA alkaline 1.5V battery or NiMH 1.2V battery.

• Tail tactical switch, one tap to light up.
• Low voltage warning function.
• Made of aircraft-grade hard aluminum alloy
• Structure anti-reverse connection design

• Anti-roll design.

Operating instructions:

Switching Brightness Level

Low Voltage Warning

Memory Function

• The flashlight has a memory function. When the flashlight is turned off, it will save the mode used before. Automatically light up with the saved mode when turning on the power.

Low Voltage Lower Working Mode

• When the flashlight detects that the battery voltage is lower than 1.1V, the flashlight will lower the current working mode until the LOW level.

Protection for Limit Time

I am using a rechargeable NiMH 1.2V battery during this review. The Cyansky P10's (far-right) beam profile looks quite dense and spreads evenly with a greenish-white tint.
