The cap's .156" diameter opening permits use of a parachute cord lanyard. Uses AA alkaline batteries. Maximized light emission up to 2 hours. A patent pending light chamber directs diode generated light to an anti reflective, double coated glass lens that concentrates this energy into a potent beam. One mile signal visibility and operational range of -40 to +50 C. Sealed, recessed lamp/lens assembly is encased in a stainless steel head. All critical mating surfaces are held to .0005" tolerance. Aircraft aluminum hardcoat anodized body. Waterproof construction.

The X1 from Inova delivers the X Series uncompromising lighting performance, reliability and durability in a sleek design that's just 3.9 inches long by 0.72 inches in diameter, so it fits easily in pockets, briefcases, toolboxes and anywhere else.

This advanced, pocket-sized light projects a uniform circular beam up to 65 feet--and offers up to one-mile signal visibility. Power regulating circuitry provides maximum, non-dimming brightness for up to 10 hours.

The crush-proof, water-resistant X1 is designed, engineered and manufactured to provide reliable operation in extreme environments. Activating the X1 sets into motion a finely engineered sequence of events, which culminate in a perfect circle of peak brilliance. Switch-to-piston pressure joins the supplied AA alkaline battery to an intelligent power regulator that steps up battery voltage for constant, maximized light emission up to 10 hours.

With its 65-foot effective range, one-mile signal visibility, and operational range of -40 degrees to +50 degrees C, the X1 is a true power player for its class, size, and price.

I bought my Inova X1MT-WB X1 in NOV 2010 for just $18.50 here on Amazon. (that's no misprint - over 11 years ago!) It has been used since then but not roughly and stayed mostly inside. ---> I have not had any of the issues regarding the on/off push switch on the base. <---- That might be due to the fact I have controlled on & off only by screwing/unscrewing the barrel 1/4 turn which makes the same connection inside. I did not avoid using the push switch but it just seemed more work to press and hold. - For a single AA battery LED flashlight, it is hard to imagine anything brighter. In eleven years, the price has only gone up $1.00 and the specs are still about the same - all good news to me. Bottom Line - It easily does what I would want a flashlight this size and with this power to do and then some.

Mine died, too, after very little use
Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2010

Like several other reviewers here, I found that the Inova X1 AA-powered flashlight performed well for a month or two, and then began its downward spiral toward nonfunctionality. As time (and some mysterious process of decline) progresses, so does the need to tap, then rap, then whack the flashlight to get it to turn on. After about two months of extremely light use -- no dropping, no clunking, just riding around in its own pocket in my Maxpedition bag -- the light got less and less reliable, until finally I gave up on it.

It has a nice-looking and -feeling design, but it seems to have a design flaw: namely, that it stops working. I recommend looking elsewhere. I think I'll try Fenix next.

Thanks to another reader for mentioning the warranty -- maybe I'll take the time to follow up on that. But I really don't think I should have to go through all that trouble just to have a little flashlight that works when I need it to work.

Was great while it worked - UPDATE
Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2009
My previous pocket light was a cheap $10 Rock River LED 2x AAA, it lasted about 14 months. The Inova light was much brighter and more resistant to being accidentally turned on in my pocket. It also appears to be much better made and just feels more solid. I did miss the pocket clip a little, it was handy to be able to clip the other light to the brim of a cap for hands free use.

About a month after getting this light it began to intermittently refuse to turn on. Sometimes it would turn light up a second or two after turning it on. A couple of raps on the palm of my hand would get it going again. Then the raps had to harder ...and harder. Finally, after only two months it stopped working altogether.

UPDATE: Nite Ize, the current owners of Inova, just replaced my defective light under the Limited Lifetime Warranty. Nite Ize Customer Service was extremely pleasant to deal with. New packaging no longer has the almost useless 2 Watt claim and now says Max Output 25 Lumens. More importantly, RUN TIME IS NOW LISTED AS ONLY 2 HOURS 20 MINUTES. That's down from the older model's verified claim of 10 hours. That short of a runtime is a deal breaker for me, I would be replacing the battery once or twice a week for work use. I'm going to stick with my Streamlight Stylus Pro for everyday pocket carry. Added a star for the great, hassle free customer service.

Updated model a disappointment, but still a good light.
Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2007
First off, this light has been through SEVERAL generations, all under the "X1" name. The original one had an optical lens, and created this ultra-bright circle (spotlight) that's about 2ft wide at 7 feet. That's it. It's like looking at the world through a hole of a hole punched paper. This is long gone now.

The second generation was in 2006-ish, when they switched from optics to a more traditional reflector. This version was very good -- the best flashlight in my opinion. The light was both intense and had great spread, and addressed a lot of the issues people had with not being able to see anything outside the little light spot. It got an amazing 10hrs of battery life; my personal tests showed around 8hrs then it started dimming.

However... as of May 07 Inova has switched LED's in this light. The new one (boasted as the 2.0W, it's a Luxeon LED of sorts) is about twice as bright as the old one, though our perception of brightness is on a logarithmic scale, so we really don't notice much change at all. However, here's what we will notice: battery life has gone down from a whopping 10 hours of the last generation to 3 hours now. (It starts dimming out on regular brand-name alkalines a bit past 2hrs, and at 3hrs the light is unusably dim). Inova, please hear us out -- PUT THE OLD BULB BACK. The little added brightness is NOT worth this sacrifice!

However, with that said, I still think this is the BEST single-battery LED light for its price. The light output is superb and will match bulkier 3 AAA or 2 AA lights easily. And the voltage is regulated, which means you get a full brightness down till the battery's nearly empty. Don't be fooled by cheaper lights! They do not have regulators, and the light will steadily dim throughout its life, forcing you to swap out batteries for additional brightness even though the batteries aren't even half drained! Plus, 2-3 hours is still well ahead of the competing products in its size class.

Another important thing to keep in mind: This light runs off a normal cheap AA battery. If you see a smaller or cheaper light with a better runtime, it is most likely using CR-123A (camera lithium) batteries. They pump more juice, but are harder to find and definitely more expensive to replace! Sure, you can buy then in large quantities online at cheap prices, but what if you're on a trip and your flashlight dies? Expect CR-123A's to be no less than ten bucks at a convenience store.

The flashlight is small and attractive and easily fits in the pocket, and the tactical 3-way switch is a cinch to use. This is a great personal-use flashlight and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a decent flashlight to replace those dollar store incandescents.

I give it 4 stars; if inova would bring back the old bulb with the 10 hrs battery life, I'd give it 5 stars.

received the light on july 1st and have been using it regularly and enthusiastically as a flashlight and headlight on my bicycle for one month and the included AA battery has just tonight (july 31) died. bright enough to show your way in the dark, perfect for camping. but not bright enough to shine in strong lighting. works great strapped on my bike and also to help illuminate macro photography. the brightest single LED you'll find and easily the most efficient and cheapest flashlight to keep lit. solid design, it's scratched up but i don't forsee it malfunctioning ever.
