Keychain lights

[Bigtanker]

I bought a small rechargeable Fenix a few years back for my son. It is great. Went to buy another one but they are discontinued. So my search for something tiny and potent is on.

I see Olight has a 150 lumen light for $15 and it has good reviews. But what else are you carrying? I don't want to spend a bunch.

I had a Nitecore TIP for a while, but it died on me after a couple of years. I have kept meaning to replace it, so count this as my tag for interest.

I tend to keep a Surefire G2X in a pocket, held in place by a Thyrm Switchback clip. But I would like to have a good keychain light, too.

I have the Olight one you mentioned on all my keychains.

I really love the Surefire E1B light. It's not a keychain light per se but excellent brightness for such a small light. It is easily carried in the pocket. I realize it's also not exactly cheap, but I think worth the money...

Olight...I've got an amazing collection of them.

Have yet to get a dud or an ill performer.

I've had steam light also, these out perform them by a long shot.

We have been using the olight AAA keychain light for several years now. I have been happy with ours. We are not gentle with them, but they keep working.

I'm sure this isn't what you're looking for, but Streamlight sent me this little guy free when I bought a TLR1-HL from their Amazon store. 10 whole lumens.

SureFire Sidekick Ultra-Compact Triple-Output Keychain Light

$30 bucks for a Surefire, USB rechargeable. Four and a half stars for 950 ratings. Hard to argue with that, eh?

 

[JTL165]

agreed. The surefire sidekick is the way to go

 

[bmanguns]

+1 on the surefire

Olight was running a good Black Friday sale. I think it might be over though.

Surefire Titan - 5 out of 5 stars, small, bright, more useful than I expected; the only down side is that toggling to the highest output is sometimes finicky

Surefire Sidekick - larger than a key fob (all 3 dimensions), bright, ergonomic, rechargeable; if you have this in a pocket with a key fob and keys, things can get crowded

If I had to repurchase, I would get another Titan

Not a keychain, but I swear by this and Ive had on in my left pants pocket daily for years. And as a bonus, if you want to use it as a tactical light, it has a momentary contact tailcap, so it works like a Surefire. Not as bright, but Ive used it at multiple low light shoots and it works well enough to know your target up to 25 yards.

I have a Pelican light that's about that size and I do like it. But it's about twice the size of the one I mentioned in the OP
