(in truth, it might be a Lux III; I can't remember). This happy thing has been on my keychain for a year, and like the L0D-Q4 (natural finish) it replaced, it has done quite well and I heartily recommend it.
Unlike other keychain lights, it looks none the worse for wear and looks almost new until you look at it up close with your reading glasses. Like the L0D, it has the same power more or less as a cheapie incan 2D torch but is a teeny bit longer than the L0D. The beam is a useful mix of spot and flood. Better, it is a simple on/off twisty, you do not have to fool with other power modes, and I do not miss them. It is quite handy and convenient, and it gets daily use. It is also very good about batt life: I have changed it a couple of times, and even then I am using AAA alkys that are not totally fresh.
There are some little nits to pick. Mainly, it is a little heavy for my keychain; course, that was my choice: the finish does not get marred, and besides it looks really cool and it was on sale. After a few weeks, the on was intermittent. The cap that holds the keychain loop unscrews; under it was a large brass screw, I gave it maybe a quarter turn, and it has behaved ever since. Of greater concern, though, is that the aforementioned keychain cap has occasionally come totally unscrewed in my pocket or falling to the ground. So, I make it a habit to twist back down firmly once in a while.
