That’s pretty much why I chose that one. It is not keychain tiny, but small enough to carry in a pocket. Working the tailcap on/off switch took me a while to master, but I figure this beast has already paid for itself.
Plus you could put somebody’s eye out with it, I guess, in a pinch. Easier to carry than a MiniMag, one-hand operation, bright enough to hurt your eyes, and it’s Streamlight. What’s not to like?
Some here can’t imagine what a light such as that is like.
They don’t know that “regulated” means it doesn’t dim as the battery is drained, it stays the same throughout the life of the battery.
They also don’t know that your light burns at 10 lumens which is close to mom’s old 2 D-cell flashlight in brightness, and that it does it for 50 hours! Not bad for being stuck on an elevator, or in a 10 day blackout.
Not everyone here has ever seen a flashlight that burns at 180 lumens, yet yours has the option to do that, and it does it for 2.5 hours. That means you are carrying a serious searchlight and/or a 10 day lantern/regular flashlight on your belt.
I love EDC, and being prepared.
