Not sure what size you are willing to consider as a keychain light. Powerful and keychain usually don’t go together. It is not a good idea to hang a lot of weight on your ignition switch. That said the largest size I would call a keychain light would be a very small AA or a AAA. Also the 16340 lights are small enough for hanging on a keychain. Jetbeam 1Mk or a Wowtac W1 are capable of 500 lumens or so.
I don’t have that one specifically, but I have the A5R and the A8U that are also made of Polyamide.
The material is scratch resistant and lightweight. I carry mine A5R in the keychain, never had an issue with it regaring body construction (nor functioning as well).
I would say that the major difference between the A1Z and the A3x is mostly weight and aesthetics (colour, body shine). Of course, if a truck runs over the A1X and the A3X there may be different results, eventually
Other than that, functioning is similar.
I was actually looking at their line-up seeing if I could justify getting more one or two of those smaller lights :innocent:
The A1X looks really cool. The polyamide makes it lighter weight which is what I would want for a keychain light. A little too much for me since I’m still happy with my Nitecore Tube (45 lumens) that I got 5 years ago. 650 lumens from such a tiny thing is crazy!
I also have a Nitcore Tube in my “office’s” keychain, where I don’t need flashlights so often. But…let me tease you just a bit
3 grams more, per more than 10x output (that is the “old”A8U version)
At Pilotboy, let us know when you got it , if you like or not
That arrived rather quickly, assuming it was ordered via one of the Chinese outlets and not Amazon.
I went with the A28U with the Cree XP-L HD, if you don’t mind the very cool output it’s a veritable pocket rocket, the UV and side light is also handy.
Ye ordered it from banggood pretty fast delivery. I was thinking of the a28u or the a23 but I decided it was to big for my keychain. Also does the clear plastic scratch?
