    They do offer a pocket clip for them on their website if they are in stock. I have added clips to all of the ones that I have.

    I have a bunch of them. Great to throw in a sling bag or backpack. There are definitely some better options out there for the size and output. Rovyvon makes a great recharge one that is the same size with better output. Great review 👊

    • @UncommonEDC
      @UncommonEDC  11 месяцев назад +1

      For sure, some of the Rovyvons output more than 5x the lumen but these definitely make great backups and affordable enough you can throw one in each bag. Thanks for checking it out!

    Had this flashlight for nearly 6 years of hard use on my keychain and use it nightly, I have never been so happy with any flashlight, even my much more expensive ones. Why? It is so simple, powerful for what it is, quality as it has never failed in all the years of every night use…. All I can say is GET ONE, you will be very pleasantly shocked at how great it is. BTW I thought that I would quickly hate the turn style turn on but I love it for how easy it is and so reliable.

    • @UncommonEDC

    I definitely agree you can't beat it for the price. I have a bunch I got for free from olight too.
    I gave one of these to my grandma actually because there's no lights from the door or her apartment to her car. Super easy for her and she uses it all the time.
    The lumintop is probably the most comparable as far as size but is a bit more expensive. But it does have a low-medium-high as well.

    • @UncommonEDC
      @UncommonEDC  11 месяцев назад +1

      Awesome! The easy operation is a major selling point for sure. I agree on the Lumintop as the best alternative, may order that one to check out next. Thanks for checking it out!

    I have a couple of Fenix E05 keychain lights that I have been using since 2013. They still work fine, but the Olight has triple the lumens and a slightly smaller size that I recently decided to upgrade to it i3e. I can't say my quality of life has changed significantly since upgrading, but they are so inexpensive, it was worth the taking a shot.

    • @UncommonEDC
      @UncommonEDC  5 месяцев назад

      Nice, it’s a sweet little light but yeah not gonna change your quality of life much unless you’re upgrading from just your phone light. Thanks for watching!

    Glad to see it held up. Mine has been holding up well too. I like the size of these a lot as well as a replaceable battery. I'd like to a 2nd brightness setting though I'm sure it would effect the size.
    Great video Jake!

    • @UncommonEDC
      @UncommonEDC  11 месяцев назад

      Agreed, a second setting with moonlight mode to preserve the battery life a bit would be nice but would most likely affect the size and price. Thanks for taking a look my friend!! 👊🏼⚔️

    I got one of the i3 eos free with $5 shipping a few years ago. It is indeed hard to beat for that price. I have it on one of my sets of keys and it has held up well. I keep a Solitaire in my wallet just as kind of a backup light. They are pretty comparable to each other. The i3 is shorter but the solitaire is skinnier. The i3 carries better on my keys. I actually prefer the lower lumens and longer runtime on the solitaire for a keychain light though. I like how the twisty head on the solitaire tightens to turn the light off just feels a bit more secure. Hard to go wrong with either though.

    • @UncommonEDC
      @UncommonEDC  2 месяца назад

      Love hearing the long term use examples, glad it’s held up. Both are great, I prefer the shorter light on my keychain but both are solid options. Thanks for watching!!

    Got the orange skull Halloween one and it's been on my keychain since October. Love it. While we do have the flashlight on our phones now it's just better to have a dedicated flashlight on my at all times. Being that it's so small it's not even noticable but it packs a punch. And yes I've dropped it waist height several times and it still holds up.

    I like it because it fits in the tight vertical slot on the front of a Viperade pouch. The less that is fitted into the front slots of the pouch means you can carry more in the zippered pouch pocket. Plus weight reduction is a plus.

    • @UncommonEDC

I have 2 stream lights 1 runs on 2 AA other is the other short fat battery that's like $10 a battery one is about 6 inches other about 4 but I want one smaller 😆 and stream lights aren't cheap I paid $140 for 1 other was $180 😬 so i definitely want a smaller and cheaper light that's bright 😉Awesome video my brotha I'm gonna have to grab or look into these lights!! keep rockin 👊😎
