5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Small Bright and Versitle LED Flashlight, February 12, 2010

I'm sure that there is or will be some light in the AAA battery size that are smaller or brighter but for this price this is an amazing light. The bright is perhaps 45 minutes on high and is brighter than my old 2D Mag light by quite a bit. Well bright enough to take on a walk and see your way. The medium is good for a couple or few hours never ran it out yet. Medium is where it turns on and that is ideal for general use inside a car or house. The low is what is really amazing it is just right to read by in total darkness. I'm guessing something like 2 days of non stop run at this level. Great for when you are reading a map in the car at night and don't to destroy your night vision.

No strobe or SOS, thank goodness. Just three levels via easy turning twisty switch, first medium (most useful level) then high for outdoors walking etc., then low which is great for reading at night or not loosing your night vision but still finding your way around the room in total darkness. Turn the switch within 2 seconds off and then back on and it changes modes.

Just barely bigger than an AAA battery. Weighs almost nothing in aluminum. I forget it's in my pocket it so small and light.

I can't say enough good about the quality and usefulness of this light. I have lots of nice LED lights and this one gets more use than any of them because it's always with me because it's so small, with a wide range of low to bright, relatively long run times on AAA and rock solid reliable. 7 stars!!!!!!!, no kidding 7

I was looking for a key-chain flashlight to replace my aging MAGLITE Solitaire (1xAAA). I was hoping for something a little brighter and wow, did I find it. This light is a little shorter than the Solitaire and just a bit wider, but not enough to tell while in my pocket. To operate it requires twisting the business end like the Mag lights, but it also has three levels of intensity.

When first twisted it will default to the medium intensity. To change the brightness, just twist off and back on within 2 seconds to select. On the brightest intensity it is easily comparable to full size flash lights. The twisting is stiff enough to not accidentally turn on while in the pocket, but not too stiff as to prevent one handed operation.

It is also very well constructed and appears to be weather resistant by utilizing o-rings in its design. If you are looking for a LED replacement for your key-chain, get this one and you will not be disappointed.

Ever since I saw an online review of this device, I wanted one for my key chain. A little testing in the field backed up the reviewer's claim that this is an exceptionally powerful flashlight for the size, with a good reflector to match the advanced Cree emitter. The housing is solid, and it has a glass lens rather than a plastic one. The clip appears to be strong enough to affix the light to one's belt and keep it there. The threads were actually factory-lubricated, something that gets neglected on many expensive light. I think it will survive the occasional dunking.

One aspect of the design that left me a little uneasy was the tiny, delicate split ring attached to the end of the light. I wonder how it will hold up under use, but time will tell. Aside from this quibble, the totality of my first impressions suggest that the manufacturer is trying to build a quality brand, and that they want this humble device to represent their company as much as their high-end flashlights. I have a feeling that as long as the switch (statistically the most likely part to malfunction) holds out, this light could be hanging on my keyring for years.

I like this light a lot, but this will probably be the last ITP Light product I buy. Why? Because, as confirmed by an examination of the company's website, this manufacturer does not appear to have a US office. That means if you want to send back a defective light, you must send it to China (WITH your receipt--the warranty requires it.) Given the initial cost of the light, this would hardly be worth the shipping expense. In fairness to the manufacturer, a lot of their competitors, including some highly-regarded ones, make it difficult to get warranty service. If ITP Light establishes a US office for customer service, then I would consider their products for another purchase, otherwise I'll stick with better-established companies like Streamlight or Gerber that are known to treat their customers well.
