EDC keychain carryUsers needing a versatile multi-output AAA flashlightUsers wanting a durable and corrosion-resistant finishUsers desiring a bright 300 lumen output in a compact form
Common praise
High output in a compact keychain formatMultiple LEDs including UV and red for versatile useSolid build quality with aircraft grade aluminumIntuitive single-button user interface for white modesLow-voltage protection for NiMH and Li-ion batteriesReliable performance and good driver efficiency
High maximum output of 300 lumens from a single AAA batteryThree useful output levels with balanced output and runtimeDurable and attractive nickel-plated brass bodyVersatile carrying options including removable pocket clip and quick-detach tailcapBroad MaxVision Beam with a smooth profile
Common complaints
Silicon switch wears out quicklyAccess to secondary emitters (red and UV) is slow and complicatedLowest white mode is relatively bright; no true moonlight for dark adaptationNot waterproof beyond IP54 splash resistanceThermal design may limit higher mode performanceSingle button operation limits ease of switching between secondary LEDs
Short runtime on the high 300 lumen setting (about 1 hour or less at max output)Heavier than typical keychain lights due to brass construction
