keychain flashlights list

Solarforce X2, x3 stainless steel

My X2 died a while ago, though. :cry:

Have had this on my keys for a year and no complaints. Crazy bright for size. Another Nicron that runs on LR44s.

NICRON 0.25 W Convex Mirror LED Micro Keychain Flashlight

Dunno what the “convex mirror” part is about though :wink:

Try DQG Fairy. Similar size and way brighter.

So, yesterday I received a reply from RovyVon Team! Here it is:

I also mentioned some other people from BLF would be interested in their lights, and they suggested to make a joint order (that will not be possible as we are from different countries).

So…that’s it! Now I’ll just save some money to get one of those small beauties :wink:

Olight i1R EOS. Really tiny, really lightweight. Low/high modes and silky smooth twisting action. I know, I know, non-replaceable cell but this thing is great! I just love mine.

I like my nitecore tini…

The new Thorfire TK01 has some neat design choices.

I’ve got discussion with them over the weekend too. I can add to that that the shipping cost to Poland is $6. Not bad. :slight_smile:

Well, to Portugal is 7$ so it is much better than the + 20$ from US Amazon :wink:
They opened their Amazon Store in Europe and will have their products on the wharehouse within 2 weeks :wink: Worths the waiting for sure :wink:

Me too!!!

I agree, the TINI is tiny and a great light.

Just recently ordered one of those. Looks good.

Fenix UC02

Nitecore Tube good as the cheap keychain flashlight But SureFire Sidekick is the beast. 300 lumens keychain flashlight brightness can easily beat low-quality 1000 lumens flashlight. But, the price is high. Here is my favorite keychain flashlight list: Best Keychain Flashlight 2018 for Everyday Use.

I notice that although this particular forum includes coin cell lights it is the more expensive lights that are chosen. I have purchased MANYof the coin cell lights off ebay for less than $4.00 for 10 lights. Those are what I used on my key ring until the Olight i3EEOS came along.
The ebay light last a long time and give enough light to light up a room in the dark.

Would someone please tell me why these cheap (budget) lights are not liked?
Thanks,
Jerry

I like them very much, same goes for everyone I know that got one from me for their keychains. At any given moment, at least 20 of them, in various colors are in one of my boxes to use on zippers, keychains, gift etc. They are great for what they are but, for some unknown reason, I don’t count them as flashlights.

I have one flashlight that’s much better than any coin cell one. When I need a light - it’s right there on my neck. Why would I want another, inferior one in addition to this?

I don’t like things hanging around my neck or much weight on my keyring. That is why I like them, and why the Olight i3EE is the first flashlight I have put on it. But if one doesn’t mind a larger light hanging around their neck have at it. :money_mouth_face:
I usually carry a small AAA light in my left pocket, but would not carry a AA and certainly not an 18650 light as an edc.
I realize one’s work or daily rotine might dictate larger lights, but I have no need for a large light.

I had quite a few coin-cell lights, but they’d barely throw enough light to see the keyhole if kept on a keychain. I loved the idea, and had quite a few (shudder to think how many…), but implementation left something to be desired.

Today, more efficient LEDs might make up for it, but back then… nah.

Also, getting squished would so easily turn them on and run them down.

So unless it’s a deeply recessed button to reduce the chances of accidental activation (and even that’s no guarantee), I wouldn’t bother.

If I needed a smaller-the-better light, an AAA twisty would then be best for me.

Alas, I’m EDCing a UT20, a monster of an 18650 light. Doesn’t bug me. So AA, AAA, let alone coin-cell, isn’t that much of an issue.

I got two thingies that slip onto key-blanks (from the factory, non-serviceable) with a red and amber LED built-in. Uh, one each, that is. The red one’s dead at this point, and the amber barely glows. Then again, they’re quite ancient. Those are nifty. Squeeze the key and the LED’s aimed right at the keyhole!

Had one, prehistoric era, with a bigger cell (PX-something? camera battery…) with an actual hotwire bulb! Cell’s replaceable, actually. B’harni knows what I ever did with those (1 pristine, 1 quite “worn”). Separate units, would slide onto an existing key.

Those I’d see a market for, and would get an assload to gift to people, as they’re quite useful.

I wouldn’t call Nitecore Tini particularly heavy…heavier than a plastic button battery light, but is the difference meaningful for you jerm03?
