It is pretty small, sleek, and light. Despite its size, it can output a whopping 130lm which is more than bright enough to illuminate the average room or to look for something.<\/p>\n<p>The tail-end button is rubberized, nice and large and gives a satisfying, audible click. It always turns on with the middle 32lm intensity, but you can use both the half-press of the button or twisting the flashlight head to change between three brightnesses.<\/p>\n<p>From experience, the twist-to-control is a bit wonky but if you can&#8217;t get it to work you can omit the button end cap and go for a magnetic end cap instead (not included).<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s small and light enough to keep in your mouth for several minutes without developing lockjaw, and the pocket clip is reversible so you can clip it to a baseball cap. I have given away several as gifts, and always keep a spare around just in case I lose one. The only improvements I\u2018d like to ever see are a focusable head to switch from the fairly wide, soft illumination to a focussed spot if need be, and that it would turn on selecting the last mode used instead of always the middle intensity.\u00a0It would then be the perfect EDC flashlight for me.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2021\/03\/CleanShot-2021-03-25-at-10.45.00.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-38109\" src=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2021\/03\/CleanShot-2021-03-25-at-10.45.00.jpg\" alt=\"CleanShot 2021-03-25 at 10.45.00\" width=\"569\" height=\"347\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2021\/03\/CleanShot-2021-03-25-at-10.45.00.jpg 569w, https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2021\/03\/CleanShot-2021-03-25-at-10.45.00-300x183.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 569px) 100vw, 569px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tiny and bright flashlight<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[41],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38108"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38108"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38108\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38111,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38108\/revisions\/38111"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38108"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38108"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38108"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
