Keychain use

[trailblazer295]

Fishndads prediction was right "Pick one so you can move onto your next one:devil:"

I am back looking again, after purchasing my first quality light 'Quark X AA2' last summer which was problem free up until last week. I received prompt responses to my emails from 4sevens. The issue turned out to be the clip retaining ring was slightly loose. Tighten it back up and I was good to go. Now I am looking for a small light I can hang on my car keys. The Quark miniX has caught my eye but interested in what else is out there. I also haven't found a reliable source of quality CR123A batteries. I'll probably have to order from the US.

The Fenix LD01 with the Cree XP-E LED R2 also looks interesting. Having a AAA keychain would be handy considering it won't be used frequently.

Added option list
Olight S2

Go to CPF Marketplace...and look for wonderlite's threads on US Cells, he ships from FL IIRC.

AW cells, but shipped from FL....you get them very fast, and the price is lower to boot.

Go find a iTP EOS A3 'Upgrade' with XP-G R5 emitter. This is one of the very best $21 keychain lights IMHO. 96 lumens on high mode. You absolutely cannot go wrong with this little light.

I EDC the stainless steel version of this light, and you might be able to find one of those for around $30, if you're lucky. I like the SS version, as the coating does not wear off. I've carried mine for two years and it still looks great.

One final note - I use a 10440 Li-ion battery in mine, and this thing will crank out over 300 measured lumens! Yeah, it'll get hot quick on HIGH, but for short bursts, it's just incredible....

Be sure to get the R5 emitter. Also, get the UPGRADE version, that one has 3 modes.

I could tell you where to source 123 cells at the right money but you have no country showing where you live and i might be miles out.

The price here is double what you're quoting. The cost of being north of the border it seems. I will be looking for the SS version if I go that route. I've read a few people mention it.
