What is the Smallest Flashlight Avaliable?

[Mike V]

So I finally ordered a Photon Freedom Micro today to add to my collection.

It got me thinking about what is the smallest flashlight currently available?

I know about the Black Crater Cord Lock Light, which doesn't seem to be available yet.

I know about Tritium vials and spheres.

Is there anything else out there that is really, really small?

I don't care if it doesn't put out much light.

They are small and FREE...if you can catch them.

I wonder how many lumens a fire-flys butt puts out at MAX?

Mike, I am not sure but it would probably be the custom made Drake or Drake by Modamag or Wee by Orb in the UK. They both put out plenty of light though!

They're out of business, but you may be able to get one off of somebody, a Fire-fli, that is. It runs off of 4 tiny hearing aid batteries. I'd say that is about the smallest I've seen, other than a Pico light (a miniature photon type light that uses a 3mm LED.) Next to that, I'd say the Wee, the Streamlight Key-mate and then the Draco.

Stick a 5mm led or smaller on a watch battery n there's your flashlight! i dont think you can get much smaller than that!

Yeah, I'm trying to find someone who will send some of these to Australia:

I dunno, but it's gonna really hurt when someone tries to drop in a M60.....

Streamlight nano, or micro (I forget which...)

I have the Fire fli and the Nano. the Fire fli is thinner but longer and the nano is shorter but fatter. Overall the Nano is the better light and it is actually bright for it's size. The accent lights above look like some magnetic marker lights that I have. They don't put out much light at all and are actually heavier than either the Nano or Fire Fli.

The Fire-fli was, indeed, the smallest production light available.

Instead of the Draco, my current vote goes for modamag's Drake, seen here next to a CR2 batt, and the head of a Li-14430 custom light:

However, check this pic out, from my good friend John (linky to original thread):

Here it is in comparison to a few other keychain lights, to get an idea of how small this thing is:

Diamond Ti Drake, La Petite Killer Ti, AlTiN Ti Draco

Hey, J, nice Drake!!

Anybody got a 3mm pico light they can put next to a standard Photon or fauxton in a picture? I've got one somewhere, but that somewhere isn't where I thought it was. (I can't remember where it's at!) My thought is that those pico lights (as once sold by KevinL) are the smallest lights out there, even smaller than the Fire-fli. They are a little bit fatter, but so much shorter. They're like 1/3 or 1/4 of the size of a regular photon light, but look exactly the same.

I thought about buying one of these but I carry a light on my key ring.

The 3mm pico is about half the size of a standard photon/fauxton. There have been some pics floating around of them side by side.

This is the smallest flashlight I know of...

Makes the Firefli look big. Here's a review I did on EDC forums...

Hmmm....maybe, you're right. I've got one, somewhere, though, and it sure seems to be much smaller than half the size of a standard one. By memory, I'd think it was 1/3. Maybe, I'll remember where I put it. I'm surprised they're not available anymore. I've looked around (online) and can't find them anywhere.

And, most importantly, can they be overdriven?

I found a couple links from EDCF showing the Pico light.

Based on those photos, I'd say my memory serves me correctly and it is about 1/3 the size of the standard photon. I know mine's around here somewhere....:thinking:

Also, the first link shows a Fire-fli!
