    *New* MecArmy SGN3 keychain light

    Yes, gorgeous photos and review, Trevilux! I also love my green one. It's a great little buddy!

    *New* Surefire Sidekick 300 lumen Keychain Light

    Really good discussion here, and I'm sorry to hear that some people have not been impressed with this light. I think that the Zebralight SC32 is very tough competition in general! In my honest opinion as a flashaholic, Zebralights are some of the best bang for buck lights ever produced, and...

    *New* Surefire Sidekick 300 lumen Keychain Light

    It's a good point, but it's not really fair! :poke: I am currently wearing a NiteCore Tube around my neck, and it is a fantastic little light. I truly appreciate the "guilt-free lumens" (i.e., there is no battery waste because it is rechargeable) , and the fact that I don't have to worry...

    Lumintop Tool AAA Copper 'Shipping version' (Nichia 219B, 1xAAA) Review

    Excellent review of a very interesting light! Thank you!

    *New* MecArmy SGN3 keychain light

    This is an excellent light and I love (absolutely love!) the red light and the UV light aspects here. I do think it could be a contender for an "everything light"/primary light for some... I mean, it's blasting out 160 lumens and--just to keep things in perspective--a 4D mag light from just a...

    *New* Surefire Sidekick 300 lumen Keychain Light

    In a word, yes. And this is a real issue in technology... you have this notion that "good enough" is really fine for most people, and you see that as you get something "better and better" there are diminishing returns... so to get that 5 or 10% better, it might cost you another 100% of effort...

    *New* MecArmy SGN3 keychain light

    Yes, but not quite like the Sidekick--the Sidekick on low has pretty yucky PWM--very noticeable, and this is one of the big downers for that otherwise fabulous light. The tube has PWM on low at least, but it's pretty high frequency and does not bug me at all... same for the SGN3--very hard to...

    Selected photos: From Left to Right: Sidekick, Tube, and SGN3 SGN3 on high (main emitter) SGN3 red light--very cool and nice and low

    *New* Surefire Sidekick 300 lumen Keychain Light

    My pleasure! Yeah, I continue to have a love affair with the Sidekick. It's bigger than a "regular" keychain light, but also the next level up in terms of output, so I feel like it is almost as good as a full size flashlight but super compact. It makes me think of the iPad of lights: bigger than...

    *New* MecArmy SGN3 keychain light

    Agreed. I tried it because I really like this light! But it's just a tiny bit too heavy for me now that I am spoiled by the Nitecore Tube around my neck! Please see my comparison review here...

    What is the best looking and best performing neck wear light?

    Some comparison thoughts and photos on the Sidekick from Surefire, the Tube from Nitecore, and the SGN3 from MecArmy http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?411370-*New*-Surefire-Sidekick-300-lumen-Keychain-Light&p=4799642&viewfull=1#post4799642 Enjoy!

    *New* Surefire Sidekick 300 lumen Keychain Light

    Hi guys, I wanted to compare the Nitecore Tube vs. the Sidekick vs. the MecArmy SGN3. All three are fantastic, modern, state-of-the-art keychain/neck lights. I am really liking all of them, though for different reasons. Let's have a look at them: From Left to Right: Sidekick, Tube, and SGN3...

    *New* Surefire Sidekick 300 lumen Keychain Light

    Fantastic! Thank you! As for accidental activation, I've been carrying it in my pocket all week with no issues. I feel that in pockets or a pack, accidental activation would be extremely unlikely.

    *New* Surefire Sidekick 300 lumen Keychain Light

    That's so cool--very old school Apple! Love it! I also wonder if there is something about the battery that necessitated PWM... hmmmm!

    *New* Surefire Sidekick 300 lumen Keychain Light

    Awesome! Thank you so much for doing this. This helps bolster my faith in SureFire and in this light. It's honestly one of my favorite lights of all time--I don't know why and I feel a little silly about it, but I can't stop thinking about it, holding it, playing with it... It's just one of...
