Hi All, I know there's a form that we're meant to fill in but this is quite a general enquiry/recommendation request.
I'm looking for a small, plastic, USB rechargeable light that is small enough to go on a zipper pull and strong enough to withstand being used to pull the zip.
I am currently using a Fenix UC02 but the metal construction causes a few issues as a zipper pull;
1: it's a bit heavy so swings about loads
2: it bangs against my car each time I get in which is a nuisance
3: when the zip on my jacket is fully zipped up the torch has on a couple of occasions swung up and clinked against my teeth whilst walking!
All very first world problems I know!
I had a Nitecore Tube which I liked until the metal keychain ring snapped out of the plastic after about 10 months or so, meaning I lost it out and about somewhere.
I used to use a small Photon style LED which was a good weight, good size but only 1 output and sometimes I'd come to use it and it would be flat due to accidental activation so I like having the USB recharge feature so I can top it up at work etc when I feel it's running low.
I've ordered the Nitecore TINI but as it's metal I feel that will have the exact same issues as the current UC02. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
