First impressions:
Shipped from: NEXTORCH http://www.nextorch.com/en/product_detail.php?id=87
This is the NEXTORCH smallest flashlight, it’s part of the “S series” and it’s available in 6 different colors: black, pink, blue, orange, green, red.
It’s clear this is just a courtesy keychain light, given its relatively low light output.
Modes and estimated lumens:
Switch type: ELECTRONIC
There are “ 3 ” modes in the following order: hi – low – strobo
To enter into the strobo mode you have to press for 1 second the button, it works anyway if you start from OFF state or ON state.
My estimated lumens are 18
>>LIGHT >>> The angle of refraction:
Weight and dimensions measurements (made myself, not by specs):
This flashlight weighs precisely 9,5 (excluded ring)or 11,8 gr (included ring)
dimensions: 5,4cm x 2,4cm x 9mm
Construction quality:
The only 2 material used are plastic (for the body) and soft rubber for lanyard hole, electronic switch and the covering of the micro usb port.
But atfer all… is there any better material for a day by day abuse??
This kind of plastic seems to resist to light scratches and its finish is opaque.
Compared to a Nitecote Tube, the GL10 is shorter but a little more wider
NEXTORCH said me they used a 180 mAh battery inside it, that’s more than 100mAh included into the Nitecore Tube
Keychain ring: INCLUDED
Lanyard hole: PRESENT (one)
compared to K3 and K20
Led Tint, reflector:
The led used is a NICHIA and its tint is cold white
Reflector made of: there isn’t a real reflector, it’s built into the led itself
The beam spot is nicely narrow and allows you to see at relatively long distance, despite oly having little total power (in lumens)
Wall beamshot at 250 centimeters, high power (same place for all my reviews)
Ceiling bounce test with LUXmeter: too much low output to take the test
PROS:
- cheap
- narrow beam spot
- nice runtime with 180 mAh
- strobo mode also accessible from OFF mode
CONS:
- not much lumens
Final thoughts and why you should buy it:
This is a pleasant keychain flashlight, you can’t expect an high light output but even if it’s only 18 lumens on max power… NEXTORCH decided to create it with a not so much foody beam as you could expect, so it’s able to reach and illuminate sufficient distances on High mode, while it’s a feeble companion light on Low mode.
The STROBO mode is a really nice addition, it seems really strange but , thanks to the concentrated beam the disturbing effect on short distances (within 3 meters) is really irritating …. i can confirm it because in this moment my eyes are seeing blind spots on pc monitor just after testing the strobo 
and i didn’t imagine just 18 lumens can do this to me!
And this mode is accessible from OFF mode just holding 1 sec the power switch… helpful.
