I have never had anything besides a "button" light on my keychain, until the Tank e09. I have a 10440 battery in it and it puts out a readlly bright little beam. It also has three modes and I have already been glad for a low mode on my keychain light.
I have dropped it twice to the ground and escaped with only a nick in the finish. No function issues.
This is the very new Bronte RA01 in stainless steel from the even newer and unknown brand BRONTE, so there are no experiences out there with them. Better get a well known and thoroughly tested light unless you feel especially adventurous or want to be the first to write a review about it. They are probably not bad, because SBflashlight also added them to their arsenal. I would like to get my hands on their 2AAA penlight with clicky and 3 modes one day.
+1 on the iTP A3 EOS Upgraded 3-mode (small, cheap, regulated, not to bright on low, really bright on high and uses good ol AAA eneloops) lots of colors to choose from.
Impressive chart, but it is missing too many options/flashlights. Clip needed or not eg. ... A3, PD03A, LD01 and more missing. You had already picked out those specific 8 lights before you made the chart, didn't you?
Right. I investigated many weeks, read multiple reviews, selected (based on my own needs), hand picked and bought those lights before making the chart. :)
I agree that I missed many lights, but those were not good for me for some reasons. For example I don't need or even want a clip in a keychain light.
