Nitecore TINI 2 Keychain Flashlight, 500 Lumen USB-C Rechargeable Fast Charging with Digital Display (Grey)

I bought two of these and put Velcro (hook and loop tape) on the backs of them. Then I attached one under the brim of a baseball cap, and one to the side of my motorcycle helmet. (I took the metal loop off of the back of the one I put on the baseball cap.) Fantastic in both applications! I don't ever want to be without them now! I also stuck a small piece of Velcro on to a piece of magnetic tape and tucked that inside the hat band. I can use that attachment any time I want the light to be magnetic (like to stick under the hood of the car). I've gone several days of daily use on the hat, mostly using level 2 (15 lumens) and level 3 (65 lumens) brightness, and the battery gauge still read full or very close to it. I'm sure it would last a really long time between charges, but I'm one of those people who obsessively keeps everything fully charged just in case. Level one is perfect for walking through a dark room without waking your spouse. I love that I can easily turn the light on at level one by simply holding the power button down, while a normal push of the power button will activate whatever level you used last so you're not constantly having to cycle through levels to get to what you want. I've had hats with all manner of built-in lights and while they are all useful, they pale in comparison to this super tiny light-weight marvel that lets me have a light on any hat I want without a big stupid looking clip cluttering up and weighing down the brim, and without having to buy a billion button batteries or stuff heavy AAA batteries into a hat band. I did have to use a bit of fabric glue to get the Velcro to stick well enough to the brim of one of my hats, but that was no biggie. If you're not a hat person, this is the right size and weight to comfortably hold in your mouth while you're working on something. You can lock the buttons if you're going to pocket it, to prevent accidental activation. Before I bought it, I saw the little display screen as just a gimmick, but it turns out it's actually very useful and informative. Shows the battery level, the current light level and how long you can run the light at that level. You just can't go wrong with this light. I'm planning to buy several more as gifts.

I never thought I would ever write a jubilant review for a flashlight. It is tiny, and will easily fits on your keyring in your pocket. Actually, you can probably fit in four or five. This make will make you wonder why you paid 40 USD for what looks like a children's toy. Then be amazed when you turn on the turbo mode, preferably in a dark room. This light is a impressive showcase in miniaturisation, and at its full 500 lumens, its brightness almost appears magical. In most practical situations, you rarely need such a bright beam, and the lower settings will do just fine. The build quality is excellent (I got the steel version), it is very well designed, and the LED screen is unexpectedly useful. Once you understand how all settings work, this light is surprisingly versatile. Amazingly, they managed to fit in a standard USB 2 connector, which makes recharging very easy. Battery performance is good, but obviously you shouldn't expect miracles: there is only so much power you can store in such a small package. All in all, the most impressive flashlight I've ever seen.

Very bright. Good product. It would be nice to have a way to lock turbo mode on without having to hold down the button, though.

I wanted a little flashlight to stick on my keychain. This isn't little. It's smaller than little. I don't even notice it on my keychain or in my pocket. For its size, the amount of light it can put out is incredible... I don't find the "turbo" necessary (And it does eat through the small battery), but that's really not why I got it. There is a useful amount of battery life on high and medium (Medium seems fairly comparable to a much older LED Maglite I have) and set to the lower settings it will last for many hours. Not bad for something I don't even notice is on my key ring. Very few people need more light than this thing can produce. The battery life isn't something I've tested, but I haven't run out of power as long as I charge it once/week or so. The interface is solid. There is a lockout feature that is necessary unless you want to kill your battery by accident - or heat up your pocket. I did that once. Now I lock it. It slows down turning the light on, but that's not an issue for me. Once unlocked you can always start it in the lowest mode, or you can just turn it on to the power level it was last at, and cycle through them. It's not quite as simple as my Maglite, but it has more useful options than the Maglite does, too. Physically, it seems reasonably well built for what it is. I'm not afraid of it falling apart, but I wouldn't want to run over it with my car or dunk it in a pool, either. The light it produces is fairly cool, but not overly so (It's warmer than my LED Maglite), and the beam is soft, smooth, and not heavily focused like a spotlight, which makes it nice in close quarters. Maybe my only real gripes are the price ($40 for a keychain light? Ouch... but I did buy it), and the ring is on the bottom of the flashlight, so you can't stand it up and point it at the ceiling. I wouldn't mind if the lowest brightness mode were lower, but each brightness level is nicely spaced, so using it isn't fiddly. I've found I mostly use it at work, shoving it in to tight spaces, but I'd be comfortable using it while hiking - within reason. All in all, the Tini2 is a neat piece of kit. If it looks useful to you, it probably is.

This thing is very bright. Battery life is okay, but not super long on brighter settings, which is too be expected at this size. Charges right up with USB. This is a daily driver on my keychain.

So much to like about this little light. I've been using it for a couple months now. I've used SEVERAL other Keychain flashlights and there was always a deal breaker for them. One of the biggest issues I had with other lights is that I was afraid to use them because I didn't know how long they'd last and I never knew when they needed charged. So I just reserved them for emergencies, but emergencies are rare, and I like to use my lights when I want to, not just when I need to. The screen on this light is killer. It lets you know exactly how much battery you have, and how much time remaining at each brightness setting before it goes dead. If you're going to need to use it for a little while it even helps you "ration" your battery so to speak. You can always just quick activate the turbo mode for short bursts to see something quickly, but for more extended use you can decide between each lumen setting based on how long you need the light. Being USB-C rechargeable is a big pro for me personally as I've been moving all my rechargeable devices over to USB-C. I use this flashlight most days and I never have to worry about the battery level or runtimes, and it's come in handy more than any of my previous lights for that reason. I've even carried a full sized light much less because I know I can rely on this one for the day to day. My only two complaints are minor points. I do wish the screen was made of a more scratch resistant material. It's not super scratched up and it doesn't affect the usability, but for something attached to your keys, a more scratch resistant screen may be nice. The other problem I've had is pocket activation. My first couple weeks carrying this light I would just find it dead in my pocket. It was turning itself on and I didn't even know it. I've since been using the first lockout mode and that has almost completely resolved the issue. Pretty minor issues for what is otherwise a perfect Keychain light.

Love this Flashlight. I carry it on a lanyard around my neck. It is s handy. always ready without having to dig in a pocket. I probably use it dozens of times a day. Great way to carry and bright enough for all I need.

Upside: Really nice light overall, nice and compact, very bright for its size, and good battery life. Works great to pick up dog poop on those night walks. Downside: After about 1 year almost to the date. The lithium ion battery swelled up, causing one le the buttons to get “stuck” per se. Was able to use some junk mail to shim it out, shout out to spectrum. Lol And Small and kind of easy to loose.
