[ELVVV.COM] Y20 Pro - flat keychain EDC flashlight with aluminum alloy frame

Hi everyone,
My name is Marcus

I wanted to introduce one of our compact EDC lights, the Y20 Pro. It is a small rectangular keychain flashlight made for everyday carry rather than long-distance throwing. The idea is simple: something small enough to keep on keys, in a pocket, in a car kit, or in a small tool pouch, but still useful when a phone light is awkward or not enough.

Main details:

  • Maximum output: 400 lumens
  • Battery: 750 mAh rechargeable battery
  • Charging: USB Type-C
  • Size: 57 x 37 x 20 mm
  • Light sources: dual front LEDs and a side work light
  • Modes: 6 lighting modes
  • Water resistance: IPX4
  • Carry / mounting: keyring hole, metal clip, and magnetic base
  • Frame: aluminum-alloy protective frame with transparent front shell

The Y20 Pro is meant for close-range use: checking under a car seat, walking back to the car after dark, working around a toolbox, looking inside a bag, attaching it to a metal surface during a small repair, or keeping a backup light in an EDC setup.

It is not trying to be a large tactical flashlight. The main point is pocket comfort, simple carry, and having a small dedicated light available when using a phone is inconvenient.

Cute, but the gimmicks kinda make me take it less seriously.

Strobe is pretty much useless unless you’re holding the light inches away from someone’s face.

Red/blue blinking lights are for… what? Better to just have red-only for low-light conditions when you don’t want to ruin your night-vision.

And if you have to run through the main cycle to turn it off (ie, go from high, through low, then strobe, before turning it off), that’s a dealbreaker.

I got a little rugged arc-lighter with cob area-light. Very useful, but having no direct-to-off and having to run through low, then strobe, then off, made me want to fling it as hard as I could at the nearest rock, each time.

Extra goofball modes are “free” being that they’re in software and don’t need extra hardware, but if they get in the way, they’re a detriment, not an asset.

It’s where designers who would actually use it, don’t want to add it for those reasons, but The Suits come along and insist, “No, it free, it extra, put in!”. :roll_eyes:

Not to be Negative Nancy, but somebody’s gotta say it.

Other than that, the hardware looks good and has serious potential.

Hello.
For me too many gimmicks and too bulky.
Acrylic window will be completely scratched after some time with keys attached. Rubber buttons? I pass.
2-3 levels starting moon, warm, high cri, lockout.

Thanks for the honest feedback. I actually get what you mean. Extra modes can be annoying if they get in the way of normal use.

One thing I should clarify: you don’t have to cycle through every mode to turn it off. A long press turns the light off directly, so you’re not stuck going high, low, strobe, then off.

For the red/blue flashing mode, the idea is mainly warning visibility. It’s not something everyone needs every day, but in an emergency or when you want to be noticed quickly, it can be useful. Same with strobe. Up close it’s obviously harsh, but at around 5 to 10 meters it can still be very effective as a signal or attention-getter.

That said, I agree with the main point: extra modes should never make the basic flashlight harder to use. If a mode gets in the way, it becomes a downside. The goal with this one is to keep normal operation simple, while leaving those extra functions there for the times when someone might actually need them.

Appreciate you saying the hardware looks promising. That kind of practical criticism is useful.

Thanks for the honest thoughts.

I understand the concern about size. With a light this small, going much smaller usually means giving up either output, runtime, battery size, or heat handling. We tried to keep it compact, but still useful enough to be more than a tiny novelty light.

On the acrylic window, that’s a fair point. If it lives loose on a keychain with metal keys every day, scratches will happen over time. That is true for most clear covers. It is there to protect the LEDs and keep the body compact, but I agree it’s something to consider for heavy key carry.

About the rubber buttons, may I ask why they are a pass for you? In this design they help with water resistance and the feel is pretty solid, so I’m curious whether your concern is durability, accidental pressing, or just personal preference.

I also get your point about moonlight, warm tint, high CRI, and lockout. Those are useful features, especially for people who care more about light quality and simple mode spacing than warning modes. Good feedback.

Kewl, because the video wasn’t clear. Seemed as if he were flipping through one mode after another, and…

Cops would generally frown on red/blue flashers stuck to a disabled car, etc.

For getting attention, beacon mode would be better. Strobe eats too much power and would drain the cell in no time.

Wuben lights have some great hardware, but some of the most brain-damage-inducing UIs I’ve ever encountered.

Same like Folomov.

Oh, and always go low to high, never high to low. If you’re already blinded by full power searing your retinas, the next dimmer mode might seem too dim. If you start low, you’ll only bump up the brightness if you actually need it.

Crappy lights start on high to “impress” people with full brightness on the first click. So yeah, that start-on-high just reminds me of crappy lights that need to show off. More disconnect between actual users and The Suits who’ll never use any of those products.

You are on light freaks forum, not housewives who need any light to go into cellar. For many for us tint, cri are critical factor when getting 113 flashlight to have. We have equipment to measure light spectrum and intensity. Verify manufacturer claims and publish them.

Rubber usually degrade over time. Become sticky because of oxidation, sweat, plasticizers migrate to the surface and make rubber sticky. Silicone is better, more resistant.

Hi Mike,
I get what you mean.
From my own use, the button has been used for over two years and it has not become sticky, aged badly, or started breaking down. Of course, any material can be affected by heat, sweat, oil, dirt, and storage conditions, but under normal use and basic care, I haven’t seen that issue on mine.
I’m also actively looking for people who can properly test and review this flashlight. I want to understand how it performs in the real market, including output, UI, beam, build quality, and long-term use.
If you think this light is more suitable for general household use, that’s fine. If you buy one for a family member, I’ll send you an extra one for free so you can test it yourself and share your honest opinion.
That way, you can measure it properly instead of judging only from the video.
