lumapower incendio

Is this light too big for a key ring?

I have had a 4 sevens mini and itp a1 and the twisty thing just doesn't work well. The mini was never consistent with level changes and the a1 became hard to twist and I have killed more than a couple of batteries just sitting in my pocket.

Am looking for the smallest CR123 clicky. The Lumapower Incendio might work if it is not too big.

I'ts about the same size as an EX10. I find it too big for a keychain myself...

The Incendio is really a bit too large (and heavy) for keychain duty:

For a really small clicky I would look at Liteflux LF2XT even if it's 1 x AAA and not 1 x 123.

Easy fix for the ITP A1, clean and lube the threads, but if you're not happy with a twisty...the incendio is too big for key chain carry, but is one of the smaller EDC pocket lights that actually has a forward clickie.

I used to carry it on my keychain with no problems. A little large but it didnt bother me too much, unless I had too many keys.
Now I have the nitecore D10, about the same width and a little longer and it doesnt bother me.

I would say it depends on how much of a bulge you can handle

I believe the smallest clicky for a CR123 light is the zebralight H31. Though this is a "headlamp", I'm seriously considering this light as it has everything I want in an EDC. It only stands 2.57 inches, comes with a removable clip and I love the fact that the reflector/emitter is forward facing so I could clip to my shirt pocket (for example) and use this light. I also like the idea of the clicky placement at the top/head of the light and who can argue with the output numbers of 220/120 on high, 43/24 on medium and 5/0.5 on low...most can find there desired output levels within this provided range. I also really like the UI on these lights (I have the SC50). There is a thread here discussing the H31.

The next smallest 123 clicky light is also a zebralight...the more "traditional" (excluding the side switch clicky) SC30 which in 2.6 inches long. For reference, the quark mini 123 (which is a twisty) is 2.3 inches long.

I have a lumapower incendio v3 and I loved the light operation, output and the smallish form factor (for comparison purposes 2.99 inches), but the clip on there is not very good and my emitter/LED died on me after about month or so :mecry:
