Orashare OL28 review: an honest 800 lumens for once

The Orashare OL28 is our Best Budget flashlight: 800 lumens with a 5,000mAh battery and USB output, for around ₱849. It’s the cheapest full-size rechargeable torch here, and the most refreshing thing about it is a lumen figure that doesn’t insult you.

Why is 800 lumens a selling point?

Because it’s believable. This is a category where a similarly sized torch will claim 10,000 lumens, and where we found one model advertised at four different figures by four sellers. Against that, 800 lumens from a light at this price reads like someone measured it rather than picked it.

It’s also enough for most of what a household actually does with a flashlight. Our flashlight buying guide puts 800-1,000 lumens at the practical sweet spot: it lights a room properly, covers a yard, and shows you a path. What it won’t do is throw a beam hundreds of metres, which is what the pricier thrower lights in this roundup are for.

What does the 5,000mAh battery buy you?

Working time, and a second job. A 5,000mAh cell is large for a light at this price, and the USB output turns it into a small power bank, roughly one phone charge for many handsets. During a long brownout that’s genuinely useful: one object covers both the light and the phone call.

Orashare is also a known quantity in our catalog. Its OL23 work light uses the same combination of an honest 800lm rating and a power bank function, and it’s sold through the same official store.

What’s missing?

Almost all the supporting detail. There’s no IP rating, only the word waterproof, so whether it survives a downpour is anyone’s guess. There’s no runtime figure, so how long 800 lumens lasts is unstated. And there’s no beam distance, so its reach can’t be compared with anything else here.

None of that makes it a bad light. It does mean you’re buying on the brand’s reputation and the one number it does publish, which is fair at this price as long as you know that going in.

Is it sulit?

Around ₱849 as of July 31, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. As the entry point into a full-size rechargeable torch, it’s good value, and the honest lumen figure makes it easier to trust than the louder options above it.

The step up worth considering is the SUPERFIRE L22 at around ₱1,000. For roughly ₱150 more you get a brand-published lumen figure, a stated IP44 rating, standard replaceable cells, and a 1-year warranty. That’s more paperwork for very little money, and if the budget stretches, it’s the better buy.

Who should buy it

Buy this if you want a dependable household torch for brownouts without spending much: one for the kitchen drawer, one for the car, one for a relative. The power bank output makes it more useful than its price suggests. If you’ll use it outdoors in weather, or you want to know how long it runs, spend a little more.

Alternatives to consider

For a small step up, the SUPERFIRE L22 is our Best Value at around ₱1,000, with a published lumen figure, an IP44 rating and a 1-year warranty. If you want a light small enough to carry every day rather than keep in a drawer, the Smiling Shark SD0708 keychain light is our Best Keychain Light at around ₱641.
