Testing 6 Tiny Flashlights!

Today I'm testing out 6 tiny flashlights to see how they work. My intro states "five tiny" flashlights and clearly I have six flashlights here (although one isn't as tiny, which kept throwing me off), so pardon that mistake!

[@ThatSoddingGamer]

Keymate - I think the idea is that you'll have it on your keyring, so you can turn it on and then let it go, and the bar light design makes it much more useful for opening your door without having to hold the light itself. In that sense it's probably the best for what it's designed to do. Help people get through locked doors and what-have-you in the darkness.

[@mixeddrinks8100]

That Sodding Gamer yep for key chain the key mate is smart. The aurora is more useful at home or to put in a day pack hiking bag for in case it gets dark or some small cave exploring

[@ThatSoddingGamer]

@@mixeddrinks8100 I actually bought the ThruNite T2. Bit on the pricy side, but seems the most rugged, waterproof rather than resistant (IPX8) and the brightest (not that I really intend to use the brightest settings much). Battery life ought to be the best of the bunch. The Aurora was what I was initially looking at, but the specs of the ThruNite T2 won me over.

[@darrellboyd]

I would be interested in seeing a "distance" test. How far away are the flashlights helpful, for example, walking in total darkness like a home with the power out. Another example would be outdoors with no other light except the stars. Nice video, thanks.

[@TheEmbersFromAshes]

Yeah distance the light is cast makes a huge difference in a really dark area. I have a few that are bright for a very short distance, a couple that you can focus the light, and my favorite high lumen shorty that remembers the last mode used.

[@ernestryles]

Get a thrower if you want a distance light. There are tons of great options out there. Many mainstream lights aren’t great at throwing.

[@Devila103]

Thank you for giving the strobe warnings. While it doesn’t effect me, there are other people like me who battle epilepsy whose seizures would have been triggered by the flashes.

[@dawnkeyy]

I have the aurora (a1, a plastic version, that cost around 20usd), and I use it daily, the lowest mode is super useful, it barely ever needs to be charged, fits into the little jean pocket, and it has a reversible clip, so you can clip it onto your baseball cap, or onto your shirt's chest pocket, jacket collar etc. if you need to do something with your hands (rolling a cigarette comes to mind). Also the highest mode has the potential to be used in a self defense sort of scenario. (Especially at night, it is literally blinding, and leaves you seeing spots for a couple of minutes after looking at it). 10/10 would buy again.

[@TylerSnyder305]

The Olight I1R2 is a great little light, I've had mine hanging around my neck for the past probably 6 months since I got it and I really like it. For my needs when usually it's only used for a few seconds the 15min runtime is just fine, and I just charge it every night. I usually prefer no extra modes on an EDC flashlight ( absolutely no strobe for sure ) and like how I can just turn it on all the way quickly like the low mode isn't there. I have however come to find the low 5 lumin mode handy once in a while.

[@ZhuJo99]

recently bought it for my EDC in Bronze (with charging cable). Already have SR1 Baton II which is quite small, but this one I can have always with me on my keys. It's really tiny. 5 lumens in low mode is really bright, I was quite suprised. Usable for most of the stuff I need such light. Ie to unlock the door or walk through hallway in a building when everybody has left to find my way to elevator. In a rare occasions those 150 lumens are for shorter time but from such small flashlight really great output. If it would have flat bottom with a magnet (even without charging like Baton II) it would be absolutely great when you need to have your hands free.

[@cujoedaman]

You know what I want? I want a flashlight that just turns on. I am so sick of flashlights that have 500 different modes and one button that you have to practically learn morse code by the time you're done. I know, I'm probably in the minority here, but I don't understand why a flashlight has to be complicated. In the middle of an emergency situation, I don't want to have to be sitting there cycling through a half dozen modes to find what I need. I just want light.

[@judywright4241]

---It’d be cool to have one that shows battery power too, frustrating hitting the button and ......zip.

[@cujoedaman]

@@judywright4241 Also, rechargeable batteries would be nice. Unless you're buying name brand (Energizer) lithium, batteries don't last either.

[@wild1234]

Yes, this! How often do you need 3 brightness settings and a strobe light on your pocket flashlight? Those extra features have their uses for specialty lights, but for an every day carry pocket light I just want something simple and easy to turn on. Also I prefer it using AA or AAA batteries over rechargeable USB ones so I can have a replacement battery available if needed.

[@cujoedaman]

​@@wild1234 Even specialty lights just seem to be overloaded with unnecessary modes. I know a lot flashlights use the same chips that are pre-programmed with every mode possible, you'll see this in As Seen On TV lights where they always have the exact same five modes. They call it a "feature", but it's cheaper to to use the same chips in all of the lights because they don't have to make a program them. Maybe replacement rechargeable Li-ion batteries would be a good compromise too, you could leave some charging and have one ready to use. My lightsabers use actual Li-ion batteries and can't be used in any other devices because the output would fry them. I did it once with a cheap LED flashlight. It "strobed" for about a second and never turned on again :P

[@JukkaHoo78]

@@wild1234 Olight i3E is perfect then, used that for years. Single operation, reliable, 90 lumens, most compact AAA I found. Swapped it for Jetbeam Mini One though, for a while at least (bright, side RGB lights + UV light).

[@TheRobberBarron]

Good personal choice! I've been using RovyVon Aurora A8 for several months. It's only 350 lumens and clear plastic body but has additional red & blue police & amber side lights. The lowest lumen is most useful - it won't kill night vision. It's comfortable to grip in your teeth - roughly the same width as a cigar. 350 lumens is still high enough for self defense & the amber is a good substitute for a candle. The police lights aren't so useful. Also, any white Chapstick cap fits perfectly as a diffuser... useful as an overhead tent lamp. Keep the videos coming! Great work! I admire your diligence & dedication. 👍🏻

[@blueclothes1]

Once again, Bailey stole the show!! 🐶

[@gem4life933]

Thrunite also has a t1 flashlight which is smaller and over 500 lumens. It cost 36, I have both and the smaller one is more convient. I always carry the small one hooked to my belt loop Also the firefly mode is mainly used for when you need/ or want to read something at night and you don't want to strain your eyes

[@F00DLOVER5]

Oh! I was wondering what that mode was for. That makes sense

[@stevenfitzgerald8512]

My T1 is the BOMB!

[@donaldstrader7241]

@@F00DLOVER5 It works reasonably well if you have night adapted eyes and do not want to lose that adaption. Or checking on your kids at night or otherwise do not want to disturb someone. I have that on the Thrunite Ti3 V2. A very small Thrunite AAA flashlight. One good thing is they give you the choice of NW (neutral white) and CW (Cool White which I usually call crappy white. It looks nice and crisp but really is not good for perception of colors or depth.) I prefer a bit brighter moonlight mode but everyone has their preferences, in part depending on the intended use. It also depends on whether the beam is very diffuse, such as a headlamp, or more focused.

[@svampebob007]

yeah I live above 70N (70.5N) so the nights are somewhat long the regular trails/paths are rarely illuminated (if you steer off the car roads and into pedestrian paths/trails), so I needed a good lamp for my bike and I got the SRT7 from Nitecore, that thing is a blast to use on the bike, the adjustable brightness is really nice to have if you're passing by people so that you don't blind them with 950Lumens, and it's easily adjustable with gloves. For walking I got the Nitcore HC60, that thing is way better for walking then the SRT7 since the beam is wide, and the luminosity doesn't dim after a couple of hours of use on medium, high is almost too high when we got the snow though, and I hate seeing my dog looking at me and thinking about her getting 1000lumen in her eyes :( Still Nitecore has survived with me for two years of almost daily use in dirt, rain, snow, freezing cold temperatures. One thing I wish is that they added the "SR" on the headlamps, because a button is really hard to hit when you got gloves on. But having only 18650 batteries to worry about is also a big plus, I can take both lamps when camping, and use either one of them or both of them, I usually put the SRT7 inside my tent on green mode when I'm outside the tent, walk with the HC60, and when I go in, I put the SRT7 in red mode. (the green mode is to see it in the dark)

[@DinnerForkTongue]

@@svampebob007 For biking I use my Lumintop B01. The flat beam means the light is focused on the trail that it's supposed to illuminate, not reaching into the eyes of peds or drivers. I don't ride much in the dark so the 18650 that came with it works fine, but if more juice is needed it fits a nice fat 21700 just fine.

[@danthaman6720]

I have that Olight on my keys and I have to say even on its highest mode the battery lasts for some time! I have had it on my keys for about 2 years now and I can't fault it's build quality and its ease of use, great little flashlight.

Well done 👍 Very informative. I'm not really into flashlights but always enjoy watching your flashlight videos lol

[@mylt1z28]

I own more flashlights than my wife knows about but my every day carry is a streamlight microstream USB rechargeable. Being a firefighter/paramedic I have access to brighter lights when needed but the microstream clips on my pocket and I don't even know its there. It has a clip that can also clip on the bill of my hat meaning I can have both hands free and the light points to where I'm looking which is handy when doing things like trying to start IV's in a dark room or even when out at night of things like woods/brush fires and accident scenes.

[@dendygan4511]

Streamlight microstream best ever 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@donaldstrader7241]

It is always good to have a flashlight. I guess now many people use their phones, but I prefer to save the charge and use a small (or larger LOL ) flashlight. And much more convenient to clip to a hat. I have been carrying the Olight Warrior mini recently, but it is a bit heavy clipped on a hat. Once I snugged down the strap it was OK, but the Olight S1R Baton II in their line would be better if you don't need a tail switch. The closest I have is probably closer to the regular Microstreams, the Olight i3T (1xAAA) or i5T (1xAA). Does your firefighter/paramedic clothing have any loop Velcro patches? Then the right angle Olight Perun mini might also be of use to you. It comes with a hook mounting patch with bracket. About the size of a wide/tall credit card so a actually a bit wide for the strap they included in their last run/sale. I don't know what they were thinking. Great (very innovative) if you have the right clothing or hat with a loop patch. Otherwise your mileage may vary. The plus is that you can use the system with the clip left on the right angle light. Note I said the MINI version. The full sized Perun is totally different and I find the light too cool and too flat. Although I wish they would offer the mini in a neutral white, the beam on the mini through its bead TIR lens is pretty good.

[@not-a-theist8251]

[@TROOPERfarcry]

I have that "Streamlight" Keymate ... and I love it. Here's the thing with a flashlight: if you don't carry it with you, then it sucks as a carry-light. That Streamlight recharges with the same power cord as my cellphone, and that, plus the fact that it blends right onto my keychain, makes it about perfect for me. - I don't know if it's a complaint or just an observation, but it is more of a 'floodlight' than a spot or beam. Pretty ideal for illuminating an area as opposed to a thing. - The controls are pretty straightforward as well: high beam, low-beam, or strobe. But you DO NOT have to cycle through the strobe to turn it off. I like this a lot. - I had the "Nano" before that, and I liked it fine, but as it got dimmer and dimmer, the hassle and expense of acquiring new batteries made it something of a turn-off for me. Short of buying in bulk, the batteries for the Nano are almost as much as the light itself. It's worth it to get the rechargeable.

Has a great selection of brightness settings, a low of 1 lumen for using at the front door or walking around the house at night. Then you have medium of 35, high of 150 and turbo of 360 lumens. Battery lasts a long time and it's really tough. The newer Tip 2 looks good too especially since it has a magnetic attachment now but I just can't justify buying it since the original is still working so well.

[@michaelrogers6008]

I am very much a flashlight enthusiast and the Rovyvon Aurora A3 is by far one of the best keychain flashlights. a little pricey but it's a great backup.

[@F00DLOVER5]

I have the Aurora A1! I seriously use it everyday!! Sometimes it does get hot after being on for a few minutes though. Does the A3 overheat too? I really do love the convenience of it.

[@HFkepley9312]

I feel the Aurora A3 is perfect to have on a keychain for casual use and then Thrunite T2 is perfect for things like keeping in a medic bag, backpack, or even the glovebox in a car and not having to worry about carrying batteries in the car as most cars have USB

Super Cool review buddy 🤙🏾👌🏾💯

I've enjoyed carrying a Nitecore Tube on my keychain for years now. Live in the burbs on a river and use it constantly as there's no lights on the road so nighttime is pitch black. Cost about $10, USB rechargeable, low mode is like 2 lumen or something but perfect for keys at the door or getting up in the night camping without ruining your night vision. On low as a nightlight camping with kids it lasts over 20hrs on a charge. Bright mode lasts 1-2 hours and is perfectly useful for taking a walk in the dark. Dog has to go out or walking trash out, plenty bright to feel safe on the road shoulder. And for so cheap it's hard to hate on it. I occasionally accidentally turn it on in my pocket, but it's rechargeable so not the end of the world and a more careful user can avoid that. With occasional use coming in from the car or a short walk, I charge it every other week or so.

This review was lit!😎

[@Seemyshorts]

Thank you for this review. I didn't even know I was in the market for a tiny flashlight and I'm buying the key one for Christmas for multiple family members.

[@coondogtheman]

I have so many types of flashlights and things that light up. Too many to name here. From the Atomic beam Tac lights to those little PCB LED touch night lights you use with a power bank.

[@tipsy113]

Yesssss another one!!!!

[@TrojanHorse1959]

I've been carrying the Nitefox for a few months now. It's sufficient for unlocking doors and searching crevices in the car or on the ground when I drop something. What I like is its small size, I just carry it on a keyring and it comes easy to hand and works great for my needs. I got it for around $5 and some change on Amazon. The price now is $9.80, but you can get a similar light the Streamlight Nano for $5.80 if the small size appeals to you.

I like how you read all the instructions, it takes skill to decipher some of them

[@ralphedds1]

Nice review, I just bought the Aurora, coming saturday.

[@roberthoffman4713]

I had one like the night fox but I think it was branded Duracell, I used it for a zipper pull. It was great for its size and weight. The only down side was the batteries can be expensive. I have it around someplace. I replaced it with the olight and I love it, you forget its on your key ring and being rechargable is awesome, it reaches out further then I expected. Solid light. Streamlight usually makes good usable lights. The light with the diffuser, will do very well lighting up small rooms. I originally thought junk however during a power outrage the diffuser really exceeded my expectations. The smaller lights are great, if a light is small you are more likely to have it when you need it. Cool comparison.

I just saw this random video on youtube.. apparently i have Rovyvon A3X so i got interested in clicking the video.. I agree with the comments.. he sounds like normal and not too scripty in reviewing things it feels natural.. subbed!

[@torch-bearer9129]

I actually think I’d buy the lumintop, can fit on key chain, plenty bright and the defuser would be super helpful finding your keys in the dark

[@SelAromDotNet]

Hi James, big fan here! When you do your follow up on these, would love to see you address the battery shelf life, since only one used actual replaceable batteries. If it sits in a drawer for 9 months until an emergency without power to charge em, if it doesn't hold its charge youd be screwed! Curious to see how long they hold their initial charge when not being used... Thanks for all you do for fellow consumers!

[@VuNguyen-ty4vn]

Thanks James for your thorough and useful reviews as usual. Could you please also make some review about some Broad-beam/Wide-beam Headlamps? Thanks from Southern California.

[@davehendry2519]

flight warrior mini is def worth looking at, as an emt I have found the warrior mini as a great upgrade to my previous torch and plenty bright for everything but also has a twin button set up

[@galememeeof6688]

I would want one that I can hang on the outside of my purse that can easily (one touch) go to a very high setting and could temporarily blind someone that is coming at me to give me a chance to get away or in my car. Which one was best for that? Also is rechargeable. Don't you usually tell the price of each?

[@j.k.7807]

Really enjoyed the review. Might I suggest a comparison of those clip on hat lights. I keep 'em on most of my caps and they're indispensable.

[@dawnmeier2834]

Wow that was very helpful 🙂 👏 👌 👍

[@Ben7seven7]

The best portable light is the Surefire Titan-B Plus. The titan Plus runs off (an included) single AAA eneloop pro, has 3 twist activated brightness settings and will run at its peak 300 Lumen setting for an hour before stepping down to its middle setting. And it has a beautiful wide evenly dispersed light. It’s not cheap tho the retail is $100 tho you can find it on sale for $80 on occasion.

[@christophermorin9036]

Thanks man, I was looking for a good medium powered keychain flashlight that uses a user replaceable battery. I just added a Lumintop to my cart.

[@narq5099]

Can't wait to see your review of Liingo.

[@robduncan599]

I have the Rovyvon Aurura A9 copper model, it truly is a astonishing small light , a bit expensive. My 2nd fav is a Fenix LD15r good very small angle light with red and red flash which is very important to me as a flashing red on the back of a bag or bike . Good test !
