Looks cool and I am interested. Just got my Titan Plus and I am digging it so definitely looking forward to this. Not sure about the push button switch concept for a keychain light though, after all it is going to reside on my keychain with all my keys and coins. Will it activate in my pocket?

Something like this may finally knock the 2003-era Arc AAA off my keychain.

how many years could the battery last before it needs to be replaced?

Wondering the same thing.

Description:
This polymerbodied light features three levels of output that will provide security and peace of mind, no matter what. On high and operated just like a key fob, its wide, smooth 300-lumen maxvision beam uncovers all dark areas at night providing peace-of-mind navigation with a range out well past 50 Meters. Its medium and low-output settings, 60 and 5 lumens respectively, offer much more runtime and more than enough light for reading, close-up work, or even navigating outdoors while preserving dark-adapted vision.

More features:
High-performance LED and special faceted reflector produce Broad, smooth maxvision beam optimized for the human eye
Easy click-type switch permits access to all 3 output levels with repeated presses
Micro-usb charging port permits simple recharging of Integral li-ion battery
Compact, lightweight Polymer body is weather resistant; features split ring for easy attachment to keys or carabiner clips

Maybe our battery experts can chime in but a 200 mah battery should charge quick.

If the battery chemistry is typical Li-Ion, rule of thumb is usually 300-500 cycles ( for performance of 80%+ ) service life.

Of course, there are many factors that (often greatly) affect this ...

Looks impressive. Just a shame it is not easy to get Surefire lights in Australia. Sure it will be expensive!

Thanks for the link! Yeah, I'll spend $70 on one of these. If it works as described it'll knock the Titan A off the key ring.

 

[monanza]

Sweet. In for one. And another when they are released into the wild.

Arrrrgh! Shoulda taken that bet, I'd have a free one coming!!!! [emoji30]

It looks to me that the piece where it says 'sidekick' is brushed aluminium with those letters engraved in it.
