Review on πŸ’‘ Streamlight 73001 Nano Light Keychain Flashlight - Miniature LED, Black - 10 Lumens by Macaiah Arreola

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very bright for such a small light source

I've only had it a few weeks so can't confirm its longevity or reliability but I can say for such a small flashlight gives it serious light! Very bright and very wide, especially for such a relatively small size. I only got this flashlight because I used to have a small torpedo keychain that took button batteries and died. Thinking it just needed new batteries, I bought a pack of 10 and found that apparently the flashlight itself must have died. Since the battery was open ended and was only about $4, I figured I'd just find another flashlight with a key chain that uses the same batteries. I really like having a handy flashlight that I carry with me almost all the time, and something on my keychain usually is. Stumbled across this one which was very cheap and had great reviews so gave it a try. So far I am very satisfied and very impressed. It's slightly larger than my little torpedo light, which was no bigger than a pencil in circumference (smaller I'd say), about 1 1/2 inches long and the same size from end to end. This one is actually a bit shorter but has a slightly wider body and a little bell around the world, so it's a bit bigger in my pocket. It's okay, I just always try to keep things in my bags as small and thin as possible, otherwise it gets on my nerves. The advantages of this flashlight over the latter are primarily that it is significantly brighter. Hands down the best lightbulb plus a bell around it improves. Secondly the rotating head for turning on and off where my last one had a little button on the side that probably got pushed in my pocket every now and then when I was crouching, sitting etc. I've tried a few flashlights between these two keychain types and have constantly found that activating the buttons just doesn't work for me as they always turn on randomly and I don't always know right away. I just look down or someone else will see my bag glowing! Not good! So twist on/off works best for me. For the price, while it lasts, it was a great find.

Pros
  • Up to 8 hours on useable shutdown
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
