I had high hopes for this as a keychain light hanging from a suspension clip in my pocket. While I won’t dispute the quality of the flashlight, it proved to be annoying in use for me. On a typical twisty, like the Glaree E03 or Astrolux A01, your fingers stay in the same positions on the head as you twist it back and forth to get to the mode you want. With this light, if you want the high mode, you have to twist, let go and reposition your fingers, twist again, reposition again, and twist again which becomes a tedious over time. What makes it worse is that as I turn it to the off position, while in the same motion it will go off and then a slight turn later come on and then go off again. The light came on a few times in my pocket without my knowing and I was left with either a dead battery or just the low mode. So I have to give it a good half turn beyond the point when it goes off to be sure it stays off. That just exacerbates the problem of having to twist/release/twist/release/twist.

This may not be a problem for most people, but potential buyers should be aware.

(As an aside, I could have stopped buying and trying out keychain lights if the Glaree really put out 0.1 lumens in low mode. It has to be 4 or 5 or more. Maybe mine is an anomaly. Compared to the Astrolux A01, the head twists very smoothly and the knurling is better. It’s a nice light.)
