I bought a couple of the black TC1’s and one has been on my keyring for a few weeks now, great little torch and feels nicer to use than the Cooyoo Quantum that’s been on my keys for most of last year.

The TC1 has performed well for me, with one caveat - it seems to drain its internal battery within a couple of weeks; twice now i’ve tried to switch it on to be met with either flashing red light on the button, or the main LED blinking 3 times and switching off; clearly the battery is depleted and charging is required to resolve.

Unfortunately this caveat is quite a deal breaker, as remembering to charge my keyring light every week, or so, is not on top of my agenda.

Either the quiescent current of the touch switch electronics is too high, or i have a dud?

Without the issues over battery drainage, this is otherwise a great torch and would have received 5 stars for everything.
