LOOPGEAR’s Dual-Beam 5000 Lumen EDC Flashlight Also Doubles As A 12V Laptop Power Bank

Flashlight manufacturers love to brag about lumen counts, but raw output means very little when the beam profile can’t match the task at hand. A spotlight punches distance but leaves your peripheral vision in the dark. A floodlight washes everything in even brightness but can’t reach past thirty meters. LOOPGEAR’s SK05 Pro 2 solves this by housing both emitter types in a single body, controlled independently through a Rose Gold rotary dial that snaps between modes with mechanical precision. This is the second generation of their dual-light platform, and the performance gap between versions is staggering. Spotlight output jumped 92 percent, from 1300 lumens to 2500, while the floodlight climbed 24 percent to 3800 lumens.

The SK05 Pro 2 measures 106mm long, 47.8mm wide, and 22.5mm thick, a form factor that sits somewhere between a smartphone and a multi-tool. Two 18650 cells run in parallel, giving you 8000mAh of capacity that charges devices at up to 12 volts, a rare feature in the EDC flashlight category. LOOPGEAR offers two emitter choices for the floodlight: Nichia 519A for high color rendering or RE-SF18-W for higher raw output. Both versions use the same SFT42R LED for the spotlight channel. The entire package shares the same machined metal body, IP68 waterproofing, magnetic base, and integrated sidelight with true white and RGB modes. The body ships in black or white MAO (matte anodized) finishes, and the overall design language leans heavily into tactical geometry with angular cutouts and textured gripping surfaces.

The rotary dial controls everything, and its mechanical feedback feels deliberate in a way touchscreens and membrane buttons never will. Twist clockwise and you cycle through the spotlight’s four brightness levels: 40 lumens for map reading, 320 for general navigation, 950 for serious illumination, and a 2500-lumen turbo that steps down after 40 seconds to prevent overheating. Twist counterclockwise and you access the floodlight’s range, from a 50-lumen low that won’t destroy your night vision to the 3800-lumen turbo that lights up a campsite like midday. Hold the dial for two seconds and both emitters fire simultaneously, combining for 5000 lumens of output that reaches 410 meters in the spotlight channel. The dial itself is CNC-machined with knurling that grips even when wet, and the detents are firm enough that accidental mode changes in a pocket or bag are nearly impossible.

Two 18650 batteries slide into the body from the bottom, both oriented the same direction thanks to the parallel wiring configuration. This setup has practical advantages beyond the 8000mAh total capacity. If one cell dies mid-trip, the light continues running on the remaining battery, albeit at reduced runtime. The cells LOOPGEAR includes are standard 4000mAh units, meaning replacements are easy to source. The USB-C port sits on the side, protected by a magnetic metal flap that seals tight enough to maintain the IP68 rating. Charging happens at up to 22 watts, which fills both batteries in roughly three hours. What separates this from most rechargeable flashlights is the powerbank output capability, specifically the ability to deliver 5V, 9V, or 12V depending on what your device negotiates. Most EDC lights with powerbank features max out at 5V, which limits you to slow-charging phones and basic USB accessories. The SK05 Pro 2 can fast-charge a laptop, power a USB-C monitor, or run higher-voltage gear in the field.

The sidelight runs along the length of the body, a COB (chip-on-board) LED strip that outputs white light in four brightness levels or switches to RGB mode for signaling and ambient lighting. LOOPGEAR upgraded this to a high-CRI emitter in the Pro 2, and the difference is immediately visible when you’re working on anything that requires color accuracy. The white mode ranges from a sub-lumen moonlight setting that lasts over 100 hours to a 120-lumen high that floods your immediate workspace without the harshness of the main emitters. The RGB mode cycles through red, green, and blue, useful for preserving night vision, map reading, or just making the light visible in a packed bag. The sidelight activates through a separate button near the dial, so you can run it independently or combine it with either the spotlight or floodlight for layered illumination.

LOOPGEAR machined the body from metal (likely aluminum based on the weight-to-size ratio) and applied a matte anodized finish that resists scratches and provides grip without being aggressively textured. The corners are chamfered, the sides feature cutouts that reduce weight and add visual interest, and the overall aesthetic skews tactical without crossing into mall-ninja territory. A magnetic base sits at the tailcap, strong enough to hold the light vertically on a car hood or toolbox while you work hands-free. The pocket clip along with a separate nameplate mount via screws (included, along with the installation tool), and you can position it in multiple orientations depending on how you carry. At 231 grams with batteries loaded, this sits heavier than a typical EDC pen light but lighter than most full-size tactical flashlights, and the flat profile distributes that weight in a way that disappears in a cargo pocket or bag.

The competitive landscape for dual-emitter flashlights is sparse, mostly because the engineering complexity tends to drive prices into the $200-plus range where brands like Acebeam and Nitecore operate. LOOPGEAR positioned the original SK-05 Pro around $150, and early indications suggest the Pro 2 will land in similar territory despite the significant performance upgrades. That puts it well below premium dual-channel lights while offering comparable (in some cases superior) output and feature density. The closest analog is probably the Acebeam E70, which offers similar throw and flood capabilities but weighs more, costs more, and lacks the powerbank voltage flexibility. The Sofirn IF22A delivers comparable spotlight performance at a lower price, but it’s a single-emitter design with no floodlight option and no powerbank functionality.

The SK-05 II Pro currently retails at $113.98, down from the original $159.99 list price, a $46 discount that positions it aggressively below the dual-channel competition. Comparable lights from Acebeam and Nitecore typically land in the $180 to $200 range, and most lack the multi-voltage powerbank capability that makes the LOOPGEAR viable as a backup charging solution for higher-draw devices. LOOPGEAR ships the light with both 18650 cells, a USB-C charging cable, pocket clip hardware, and installation tools, so you’re field-ready out of the box. The company’s track record with the original SK-05 Pro and the LOOPDOT platform suggests consistent firmware updates and responsive customer support, which matters when you’re trusting a single device to handle both illumination and emergency power in remote environments. Whether this becomes your primary EDC light depends on whether you value dual-emitter flexibility over the slimmer profile of a traditional cylindrical flashlight, but at this price point with this feature set, few competitors deliver comparable performance per dollar.
