EDC01 Keychain Torch, 120 lumens Pocket Flashlight EDC,36 Hours Long Lasting,3 Modes,IPX8 Waterproof,AAA Battery Mini Torches for Indoor and Outdoor

This torch is sturdy, compact, and surprisingly bright. I bought two of them, one for my car keys and one for my house keys. The three brightness levels are handy and provide plenty of light when walking to my car or unlocking my front door at night. I'll update this review later if my experience turns out to be different from my initial impressions.

perfect, I can now see my lock on the front door at night. It does the job, lights well although not the brightest, it is very good for the job I need.

Bought as a “keyring carry” torch, to replace a much used and abused, (and woefully dim in comparison!), Maglite Solitaire. The Lumintop EDC01 is an extremely well made flashlight. It is nicely engineered, IPX-8 waterproof to 2m, and has a real “quality” feel about it. A single AAA battery, (not supplied), is inserted, by unscrewing the o-ring sealed head assembly. At just 66mm x 14.5mm overall, it is incredibly compact, and weighing in at approximately 23grams (with battery), is a real featherweight! – (The battery itself weighs 12 of those grams!). It has 3 available light outputs: - Low @ 5 lumens, medium @ 32 lumens, and high @120 lumens., with claimed runt-times of 36-hours, 4-hours, and 30-minutes respectively. I have no means of accurately measuring the claimed light levels, but from experience with several other flashlights, have no reason to believe they are exaggerated or unrealistic. – At its brightest setting, it is every bit as powerful as the best of similarly sized models. My only (minor) quibbles with the EDC01 are: - 1). The rather strange choice of 5 lumens for lowest setting. (I think that a true “firefly” mode of 0.5 - 1 lumen or thereabouts would have been better for those times when one wants to avoid loss of accustomed night-vision). 2). The equally strange sequence in which the three output levels operate. (The torch doesn’t have a “memory”). It defaults to, and always switches on at medium brightness, from which level it can be adjusted to lowest, and then highest setting, and then back to medium again, to repeat the cycle. The EDC01 comes complete with a “glow-in-the-dark” diffuser, a small but well made “carabiner” type keychain, two spare o-rings, and full instruction leaflet. For the asking price of £9.99 (at time of writing this review), with the caveat of the two minor quibbles mentioned, and for its intended purpose as a keyring torch, there is little to fault about the EDC01. Overall though, I do feel that the similarly sized and similarly bright Thrunite Ti3, which although more expensive has a more logical low-medium-high settings cycle, just has the edge. – (See my separate review of that torch!). Accompanying photo shows the Lumintop EDC01, compared size for size with Thrunite Ti3, and Maglite Solitaire. NB: The battered, much abused (it was originally black!!!) and back-in-the-day “cutting edge technology” of the Solitaire at left of image is finally being retired, making way for today’s cutting edge technology!

3 brightness levels, REALLY bright, bright and not really bright at all. The brightest setting literally illuminates a small or medium sized room almost entirely with no dark areas. If you need it to be very bright it is. Obviously this isn't going to be as bright as a much bigger torch with bigger batteries and a better LED bulb, but this setting is pretty amazing for its size. I can also imagine that your single AA battery is going to get drained pretty quickly on this setting. The medium setting is basically how you're going to be using this torch, which is a great every-day setting. Doesn't light up a room in nearly the same way, but provides plenty of light for finding your way in an unlit outdoor setting. The low setting... I'm not sure what I'd use that for, maybe it's good for reading a book by or something or having a bit of light without giving away your whereabouts. As others have mentioned it's twist to turn on/off... I find it illuminates quite often under the pressure of being in my trouser pocket sometimes, but that's not really a concern. It's very small, being only just bigger than an AA battery itself. I was torn between wanting a rechargable and non-rechargable small torch and ultimately I decided that I wanted a battery powered torch. I think this is the perfect small torch, it's small - a convenient size, lightweight, so easy to hold in your mouth, but not so small that you'll lose it and it's as powerful as I imagine a small torch could be. I couldn't ask for more from a small torch.

Loved setting on torch 3 brightness level also a carabiner to pull over torch head for lamp mode now this takes AAA batteries just single one it's so good fantastic tourch the lumes the tourch gives of are perfect and very bright superbly made easy to put in pocket comes with clip for belt or any other place I was shocked at this so small light easy activated turn the head just a little the back to the right to turn if but turn it on turn it back then in again it changes and goes through 3 different light nodes very intelligent and straight forward to use guys you will live this tourch I live it little EDC tourch so powerful better than bigger hand held ones I've tried I had read about these types of torches fantastic price enjoy people

I saw someone reviewing this on a YouTube video and was impressed, so after watching other videos of it and no one had a bad word to say about it so i bought one. It is so tiny that you would expect it to have a low light output but it is excellent even on the mid setting its good enough to see where your going. The high setting is really very good, you just have to bear in mind that this is not a torch to light up your path for a great distance but to see the ground clearly for a few yards. At a pinch i think i could use this to navigate my way out of a forest that i was familiar with but its main use for me is to light up dark badly lit pavement walking home. The battery life is not long on the high setting but its good enough for 5 or 10 minutes for a few nights and aaa batteries are small enough to carry a spare. This is as its described an 'edc' item which will be carried by me every where i go for whatever I'm doing. Not had it long, just over a week but so far I'm loving it and for the price you can't go wrong.

I got this to help me find the right keys when I come home late at night! I thought a little torch would be helpful and it has been of good use, though I feel like there are better options out there. It's quite lightweight which is good and the design is nice, but there are some things that hold this back for me. Firstly it's a bit fiddly to operate with having to twist the top in just the right way to switch it on and change brightness. Secondly, the brightness is fine but it's nothing to write home about. Thirdly, it requires a replaceable battery, where a more modern design would have a rechargeable one which is preferable in my opinion. Not bad but I'd look at other options personally.

All the light you need and the diffuser is a great feature too. With 120 lumens I’ve found it is plenty bright enough and on its lowest setting it should keep me going for most trips on one battery. Because it uses an AAA size battery it’s unlikely I’ll be without light wherever I go. I love the diffuser it comes with as it converts it into a mini lantern that will either tail stand or hang. It reminds me of a better and smaller classic mini mag light or solitaire! Really nicely made too and so so tiny. The perfect travel companion. Well, for light anyway. At £12 this seems to be a total bargain. The sort of thing you might buy for a gift… but want to keep.

Esta luz ha sido mi llavero EDC desde hace un mes; reemplazó a mi viejo pero todavía muy funcional Fenix L0DceQ4. La primera impresión fue muy positiva. La luz venía en una bonita caja de regalo y era muy brillante y brillante y estaba esperando para acostumbrarse. Puse un AAA alcalino y WOW, orden de magnitud más brillante que mi viejo Fénix. Las roscas estaban un poco ásperas cuando eran nuevas, incluso después de limpiarlas y lubricarlas, pero están empezando a romperse. La junta tórica está bien ajustada. La silicona agarrada alrededor de la cabeza es una buena resistencia y ayuda mucho con el uso de una sola mano. No lo he llevado el tiempo suficiente para comentar sobre la durabilidad a largo plazo, pero hasta ahora el llavero ha resistido bien y ha sido muy brillante y útil.
