I1R2

I've been using three of these well-made & versatile lights for several years: 1. in my small travel bag, 2. hanging in a room with several poorly lighted places; 3. in my night stand or pocket after dark. I value: small size with plenty of output for small places, like behind/under furniture, in drawers, closet; charge rapidly & hold charge well; easier to carry & to shield light than cell phone flashlight. That allows me to use it without disturbing my sleeping spouse; hold charge well & recharge quickly.

Small enough; two decent brightness levels; USB recharge is nice.

I have two of these little keychain lights and they are a great addition to your standard keychain load out. The new models are a gigantic improvement over the older models in that they do not come apart (the old models actually separated in half when you charged them) and charging is as easy as twisting the two halves until the mini-USB port is exposed. The light has two modes: low and high (5/150 lumens, respectively) -both are useful, but using the light at it's highest setting will only yield you ~20 minutes of bright, useable light that steps down slightly after about 5 minutes. On low, you're usage will be measured in hours. Additionally, the i1R 2 EOS will hold a charge for months. Literally; if you only use it occasionally for a few seconds here or there, expect to get a looooong charge out of this light. Otherwise, burn time will be consistent with my above review, but your mileage may vary from unit to unit. The i1R 2 EOS is a durable, bright and useful keychain assistant and much better than your typical LED keylight. It's generally weather-proof, but I wouldn't risk submerging it underwater; for most other uses, it should serve you well. My only gripe (and it's minor one), is the long charge time -roughly an hour and a half. That said, charging is easy and when the light is fully charged, the LED above the micro USB port will glow blue (when the battery is low/charging, the LED will glow red). All-in-all, the Olight i1R 2 EOS is a very well-made, durable, bright and dependable LED keychain light. With even modest care, this tiny little brute of a light will serve you well for years.

Where I live, there aren't any street lights. It gets almost pitch black after dark. I also spend time talking with my next-door neighbor, and particularly in the winter end up over there after dark. I have all kinds of flashlights, but they're large enough I have to remember to bring one if I'm going over there. I wanted something so small, I could just put it in my pocket, like a keychain. Based on other reviews, I tried this little guy. I like that it rotates on and off, instead of having a switch that might accidentally come on in my pocket. It's so small, I eventually bought one of those ID card holders from the Dollar Tree, with the extendable cord. I had to get a small split ring at the hardware store, but that worked perfectly. Now I just keep the cardholder on a belt loop. I've already been out after dark a few times that I hadn't planned (we talk a lot!), and this flashlight is easily bright enough to light up the ground. The USB charging is entirely simple, and even better, has a small LED indicator to let you know when it's charging and when it's complete. The light is really well built, rugged, and so small I suppose I could keep it on my key ring regularly. I may, but I do have another flashlight on that. I just don't always carry my keys when I'm going next door. I highly recommend this model, regardless that it's the older version. It's plenty bright, and lasts plenty of time for a walk.

The flashlight has both a low and high setting and high is nicely bright. The size is about that of a AA battery when fully 'open' for charging. Closed for use, it's even shorter. Perfect on a key chain, ring, or fob. Could probably be used as a zipper pull on a jacket or backpack. Color of mine is not desert tan or sand at all, it's a medium chocolate brown. Not a complaint, just a fact. I ordered the lighter tan instead of black flashlight as I thought it looked like an antique gold and would be more noticeable in a dark purse or glove box. It really isn't. The included micro USB cable didn't work at all as it wouldn't stay in the micro USB slot on the flashlight but I had another one and that one worked fine. The red charging light did come on while charging (flashlight was DOA so needed charging) but it never went off. Even 4 hours later it was still red. The green light did not come on at all. The flashlight worked fine after 2 hrs but I charged it up for 4 anyway, despite the '75 minute full charge' claim. No green light ever made an appearance. All in all, I like it. I really like that it's rechargeable and I don't have to worry about batteries leaking all over the interior. Small size is nice and the light is still good and bright. We'll see how long the battery lasts but I'm pleased with the overall quality.

Super handy little lights that need a midpoint between dim and battery hog. Maybe a 75 lumen option would be great.

Bought this keychain flashlight to replace my old cheap one that started to fall apart. I'm very impressed with the build quality. On low this is as bright as my old keychain light, and on high its as bright as some basic handheld flashlights (though the battery doesn't last long on high). Charging is easy, the base of the flashlight unscrews to reveal a usb port that is normally hidden behind a ring gasket. I feel confident that a little water won't harm this flashlight during normal use and the ease of charging is great. This would make a great gift or stocking stuffer for anyone that doesn't have a keychain light already. It's certainly something that everyone could use from time to time and this makes for a quality but affordable gift for friends and family.

I love this flashlight! First of all, NO MORE REPLACING BATTERIES! The fact that it's A) rechargeable and B) comes with it's own min-usb charging cable is just awesome. I take these camping and wear one around my neck on a lanyard. I have one clipped to my dog's leash, for finding his 'deposits' while out on walks at night, I keep one in my car, in case I need it. It recharges fully in about and hour and has two beam brightness levels, weak and strong. The weaker setting is great for being in your tent for a bit of ambient light while bedding down for the night. The strong setting is surprisingly bright, and lights up a good sized area. One cannot focus the beam, but it's not really that kind of light. This is clearly meant to be a small, well made, easy to use and charge, personal flashlight. If you want "tactical lighting that can blind a dude, this isn't what you want. But if you want a small, easy to carry/wear, bright mini flashlight that doesn't go thru batteries, comes with a charging cable (now) and puts out hella bright, useable light that is highly useful in a variety of situations, I cannot recommend this enough! As in, you should get this! I've bought several, and they make fantastic small, affordable gifts.
