Nitecore Tip SE Keychain Flashlight, Black 700 Lumen USB-C Rechargeable EDC with Lumentac Charging Cable

Pros: - It's metal, and assembled with screws. Overall construction quality is very good. Buttons have a good feel. - Good range of brightness, from 1 lumen for walking on the sidewalk, to 700 for scaring away coyotes (just kidding). - NO FLASHING. Thank goodness this does not include strobe mode, which is totally useless anyway. - Good neutral white beam with decent color rendering. Cons: None really. The only thing I don't like is the cheap plastic clip which is really loose, and seems kind of useless. But I don't use it, and it really works best with the loop. Aside from the clip, it's a great light, charges quick over USB-C and seems very durable.

Great keychain light and supper bright

The size is about at the upper limit of what I worked be willing to carry on a keychain. The brightness is incredible for the size. You might not duscover the turbo mode (very bright 700 lumens) unless you know to hold the front button for a few seconds. The other 3 modes (very dim, medium, bright) are just the right distance apart. A charge lasts long enough.

I recently bought this and took it on a 3 day backpacking trip. I LOVED the 3 light modes, battery life, and USB-C rechargability. Super light and portable. My only concern and why I reduced it by a star was the clip. It doesn't really feel sturdy. It is a very small gap and I when I connected it to my hat bill I was not confident that I wasn't going to break the clip. I may try a different model, but the clip is a concern for my upcoming summer trips.

This thing has turned out to be the indispensable tool I never knew I needed. You would not believe how handy it is to be able to shine a light into a dark spot at a second's notice. When my eyes are dark-adapted, 700 lumens will light up my entire front yard. Even the different levels are useful. Nothing like 10 lumens (or whatever the lowest setting is) when you need to shine a light in a bedroom to find a cat without waking anybody up. Love how easy it easy to charge, too. This is my second one. I sorta slammed the first one in a car door. It staggered on for a while but eventually gave up the ghost.
