MINI-REVIEW
(short, quick, and to the point)

This little LED light runs on 2 coin cell batteries which power a single exposed 5mm LED. Activation is by pressing on the large panel on top of the light for momentary operation or by clicking the little protected switch with your fingernail for constant-on use. Extremely small and lightweight, and inexpensive, these are a fine addition to your keychain. Great giveaway gifts as well.

Output description: Almost blends right in with sunlight - very nice color temperature. Distinct spot with yellowish corona.


Beam at one meter at target center (much less green than shown)

Runtime Plot: A runtime plot will not be completed for this light.

Switch description: Press or click on. Operate constant click switch with your fingernail.

Seals / Water Resistance: None - keep dry.

Ergonomics: So lightweight it almost disappears in a puff of quantum physics. Easy to use the click switch provided you have fingernails long enough. Otherwise you are stuck with momentary operation only.


Size compared to a common 2AA aluminum light

Batteries: 2 x 2016 lithium coin cells. Remove 4 screws on back to change out the batteries.

Accessories: Split ring for keychain attachment included.
