  • 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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

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.

    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. 👍🏻

      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)

      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.

      ​@@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.

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.

    I have a Pico Light, similar to the NiteFox, on my keychain and it works fine for those close-quarters situations where you don't need anything super bright. I like the variety. The bigger and brighter ones would be good for camping, night hiking, power outages or emergency kits, all still small enough to not take up valuable space. Thanks for another helpful Freakin' Review. Great job, as always.

    Totally bought the key one off Amazon after seeing this video. It’s super handy when unlocking my door in the dark or if I need it out and about it’s really nice having it right on the keychain. Only thing is it’s not as powerful if there is mixed lighting. Works best in a really dark environment.

  • @D00MTR33
    @D00MTR33 Před 3 lety

    Yeah, I love my Nitecore Tip. Its easy to use with a dedicated on/off button and then a mode button. 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.

  • @roberthoffman4713
    @roberthoffman4713 Před 3 lety

    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.

    @TROOPERfarcry Před 3 lety

    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.

    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.
