    new keychain light recommendations?

    Thanks - looking into those now! And I hear you on the naming and numbering of lights and models. Seems like only 1 in 32 companies can get it roughly right :)

    new keychain light recommendations?

    Thanks. I just had a look at a bunch of these square Nitecore lights. They look very neat, but my keys are so small I think adding a square light would not make sense. If it was the car key, I'd go for it, but for 2 small house keys I think either sticking with AAA or maybe Nitecore Tipi would...

    new keychain light recommendations?

    Same here. Super reliable, never had any problems with it. It looks a bit beat up, had a blue one, which is now mostly silver, but I don't mind that - looks kind of cool, actually. Good to know - thanks. I wish it had the cross knurling of the E05, but I will probably still give it a try.

    new keychain light recommendations?

    Thanks. I have a 2xAA Maratac - great build quality and interface, so I'll consider the AAA for sure. Which AAA version did you get?

    new keychain light recommendations?

    Thanks for pointing my attention to it. I see the new version has USB-C and a low mode, too, so I might give it a try!

    new keychain light recommendations?

    I've had this Fenix E05 2018 on my keys for a bunch of years. I like how small it is and how solid and reliable it is, but I'm wondering if there's any good upgrade options out there in terms of output and / or runtime? Needs / wants: - not bigger than my current Fenix - good build quality, as...

    Maratac 2 x AA (rev 5) - thoughts?

    will ThruNite update the TH20? any other good similar options out there?

    I have the cool white in mine and I think that might have been the only one available at the time. I'm not bothered by the cool white, but when you test it on a white wall the tint itself looks a little bit green in the centre and a little bit purple on the outside. So hopefully on top of better...

    Maratac 2 x AA (rev 5) - thoughts?

    Ah, understood - that makes sense! In my case the lights are I would say 99% in single application scenario (and when they are not, it's not a mission critical problem to change the setting). I think the tailcap actually changed between now and the current models (makes sense - 10 years!), but...

    Maratac 2 x AA (rev 5) - thoughts?

    Thanks for your input. But can't you actually have just that with the memory mode? Say the light has low-med-high, you always want it to come on high, so in simple memory mode you only have to cycle to high once and it will always come on high. I find this quite useful. Not thinking of this as...

    will ThruNite update the TH20? any other good similar options out there?

    Thanks. Didn't cross my mind to reach out to them, I just assumed someone here surely has a fortune telling crystal ball!

    will ThruNite update the TH20? any other good similar options out there?

    I think the TH20 got released in 2016. That's 5 years ago. I'm happy to use it for another 5 years, no problem, but surely some brightness/runtime gains have been made in this time, right? For the record: I use it for work and I am super happy with it! (It's reliable, has not failed me once...

    Maratac 2 x AA (rev 5) - thoughts?

    I'm looking for a new 2 x AA flashlight and considering the Maratac (rev 5). Never had a Maratac light, though I know they have been around for some time. It would be cool to hear from other users, especially regarding durability and the tint or if you have any other "I love it" vs "I hate it"...

    Nitecore MT1A accidental mode select - user error or design flaw?

    Hear me out: Ok, I know this is not the newest of lights by any stretch, but I was looking for a replacement for my Fenix LD10 and I like absolutely everything about the Nitecore MT1A... beam, output, UI, built quality, switch, memory, size... BUT I keep accidentally going into mode select and...

    help me troubleshoot this fenix LD10

    Good to know, thanks - I'll keep that in mind. Waiting to hear back about the switch replacement (slim chance, though) and then I'll go for some sort of plan B, either a new light or finding a matching switch.
