Keychain light with charging and LVP

Other Types of Lights Keychain / Pocket Flashlights
1

I’m looking for a flashlight for my fiancée’s mother.
It needs LVP despite that severely discharged batteries give much less light and regular user should be able to tell it’s time to charge.
I’d rather avoid having to buy a separate charger as that’s unnecessary burden and cost. Though if I can’t find a perfect match I can compromise here.

I prefer 10180 lights, but so far I found none that would have LVP.
I may go larger, but rather not as large as AAA.
Well, DQG Tiny AAA is my last resort - too large, no charging, no LVP but NiMH makes up for that. Though with NiMH it’s too weak too.

Any suggestions?

Great question! A friend gave me a CooYoo quantum ti 10180 light with built-in USB charger and I was thinking about how often I use it so was checking out some other 10180 lights as gift ideas. Didn’t see anything about LVP so decided against it as I don’t want to set up someone to fail.
If it’s an unadvertised feature on any models I’d love to know about it.

Check out the Nitecore TIP.

I vote Nitecore TIP too, can’t imagine anything that might persuade me to swap it out for something else on my keychain.

What about the DQG Hobi Plus or other such light with a modified cell, add a protection circuit.

Thanks for the tip, will check it out.
ADDED:
That’s large. TINY is much better in this regard, though still over twice as large as Hobi Plus. And larger than DQG Tiny AAA by a third.

Hmm…interesting. Are there protection circuits for 10 mm batteries?

I’ve been looking again, no luck yet but they must be out there.
Only thing I can think of just now is scavenging one from a protected 10440.

Haven’t heard of protected 10440 before. I see there are some to chose from.
I would also have to compensate for the extra battery length.

If I were a CRX I would go for it. But I’m afraid it’s too much for me…

Yeah it would be a hassle but I still want to try it one day.

Coming from YOU, that’s the funniest thing I’ve ever read! :laughing:

Hey, I have hassles too man :smiley:

I know what you mean Zulumoose. I went through the Nitecore Tube, the Fenix UC01, and the Astrolux A01 before settling on the TIP.

It is a bit big. As big as the car key that its with, but its only those 2 items on the ring so no worries.

Might want to check out WuBen - have several small lights with USB charging - don’t know if LVP.
