I have owned this Coast keychain flashlight for over two months now, and use it in one of the harshest environments I think a flashlight could see, that being Iraq. Every night this gets used 5-6 times as the base is very dark, and I have had ZERO problems with it. It shines bright enough to illuminate several feet in front of you, and makes tasks very easy to accomplish given that it's really bright up close.

I found that you can turn the little pocket clip to cover the on/off button, and then push in the center of the clip. This will push the on/off button, but keeps from accidentally turning it on.

The one downside is that the black coating comes off pretty easily it'd seem. I started noticing this about two days after I started using it on my keychain. Nothing can ever be perfect, but a tougher finish would definitely be a plus, and is the only reason I haven't given this product a 5 rating.

This is a keychain-sized LED light that projects a bright, blue-white, very uniformly illuminated circle (about 6 inches across from 2 feet away). I find a surprising number of uses for it since it's always with me on my (you guessed it) keychain. It has worked very well; the only reason for the 4 stars is that Coast has made it about twice as large as it needs to be, and it would be even more useful and inconspicuous at half the size.

Neatly packed, comes in a box with a booklet showing different types of lights. I would have giving this light 5 stars but in the product description it says German-engineered, but it has stamped made in China on on the box, so I would guess the light is also made in China, otherwise it seems the box would also have German engineered on it. Product description is rather misleading. Price is good, better than other sites which could be twice as much, but could get a similar bright light made in China for about $3 to $5. Otherwise, it is attractive, the right size, and it does have a nice bright light, so far, which is great. Haven't used it long enough to see how long it is going to last.

A excellent flashlight. However, the on/off switch needs re-tooled. My is light is COMPLETELY useless as the switch can not be pushed on or off. It worn out after 6 months use @30x on/off. NOT RECOMMEND purchase.
