keychain flashlights list

Astrolux K1, stainless steel which is very wear proof. XP-G3 + 365nm uv + red , multifunctional. But it is kind of heavy compared to TIP.

Recently bought a Wuben Mini Keychain (10180 battery). Great little twisty light (2-mode). Rechargeable, 130lm.

Anyone know how much brighter those little photon lights are compared to the cheapo $1 button led’s?

- Klarus Mini One

- Klarus Mi6

- Palight Z3

Some lights from AliExpress around 15€ (some are less than 15€, and most are “unbranded”) (non-affiliated links):

Lovin’ my Nitecore TIP 2017 (i put a 219C in it).
Also love my Astrolux M01 (after fixing the flickering problem: replaced the e-switch thingy with a tiny piece of sheet metal…) which is a true keychain light, it’s on my key ring.

Lumintop ED10

I have a Wuben G337 on my keychain I got for ~$10. I don’t use it that much, because I usually have a UT01, or a SP10b on me, too. But it’s there when/if I need it. Runtime and brightness are both impressive for something so tiny, and I can charge it from any micrUSB cord.

I’m pretty sure it shares the same charging circuit and 2 level resistor ballasted “driver” as many of the other similar tiny lights.

I got a couple of these Glaree E03 150 lumen AAA lights a few months ago on amazon, they are $7, sometimes on sale for $5, 3 modes + a strobe, pretty good light for the price

Nitecore TIP and Ultratac K18. Very happy with both


Olight i1 XM-L, Olight i1 SS XM-L (with itp A1 head ), iTP A1 SS (with Olight i1 head), Olight i2, Olight i3, iTP A3, iTP A3 titanium
From the above, I think only Olight i3 is still available

Zanflare F6s

Just went through the washing machine unscathed, no fog in the head or water in the body, no scratches and working perfectly despite my stupidity

Yeah, I got quite a few of those, too. :smiley:

Nice, lightweight, bright for an AAA, no quirks like NMM, just a nice straightforward light.

Astrolux A01 / Manker Boney — Essentially the same, the A01 had quite a few with NMM, but mine doesn’t (gray). The Boney is I think 1-mode only, which I’d probably prefer.

Odepro EA01 — Really nice simple elegant light. Got one to review, ruined it with a f’n alkaleak. Discontinued… just my luck. Contacted the nice folx at Odepro (hi Jenna!), scored me another one for <10bux.

Lumintop AAA Nichia — Beautiful light, sturdy, well-built, but annoying UI that insists on always starting on M, and no memory. Sorry, but I’d rather have a 1-mode donk that was permanently stuck on medium, than a light with modes that always comes on on medium vs having memory or starting on low so you don’t blind yourself at night

Zanflare F3 — Just got one today, impressed! Typische Zanflare elegance (eg, “spline” knurling like the F1), good mode spacing with a new AAA (didn’t try yet with an eneloop), firm switch that oozes “decisiveness”, ie, ain’t mooshy at all. A bit too cool-white for my taste, but still a nice light.

Already mentioned the Glaree, also a nice simple light, thinwall tubing making it really lightweight, probably would be a great zipper-pull on a jacket. Nowhere nearly as “hefty” as the Zanflare or Lumintop. (Neither is good nor bad, just depends on what you want/need/expect of the light in question.)

Gotta mention the Jetbeam µ, ’though I ain’t got one. Lotta people like it.

Wow… and I usually crap on AAA lights as “better’n nothing… but not by much”. :smiley:

Ultratac K18 Mini - Amazon.com

“RovyVon” - Amazon.com

This light looks good :+1: -except the price :open_mouth:
The logo looks Manker-ish

Yup, it is quite expensive :frowning:
I forgot to mention that this light “appeared” on this thread : Has anyone seen this light?

The 500 lumens are attractive (even if they don’t last much), as is the side button instead of twisty. But that price is killing me :confounded:

So…has anyone tried that RovyVon A2 already?
I see it’s available on e-bay with international shipping for as little as $80.
BTW, there’s also a plastic variant, cheaper. And actually better for me because of lower weight, though I do wonder how it handles the heat.

ADDED: On their site they have also aluminum A3:
