Today i received the Niteye Mini-1 rechargeable led flashlight. I bought this light on Battery Junction over the black Friday sale for $22 i think. Cheaper then the Mec Army and its pretty much the same light This one is Stainless Steel.

Not sure about long term but for the few hours i have been using it i like it. The first thing i noticed is how small this is. this thing is freaking tiny !!!. Its not a big issue for me because i have small hands but its a bit hard to twist the head to change modes that i will turn the tail cap and not the head or both. there is almost no room to grip the light at the battery tube. its a little tough but its something you would get used to. if you have large hands don't buy this lol. the modes are low and high and high while i dont think its 130 lumens is about 70-80 i would say. honestly im happy its not 130 lumens and here is why. the battery is only 70mah. thats not a lot so your run time will still be short but better then if it was 130 lumens. if your epecting to light up a tree 100+ feet away you will be disappointed but that's not what this light was designed for. it has about a 50-60 foot range but its most useful under 30 feet which is all you need in a light thats small then a AAA battery. The other thing i like about this light is the Necklace chain that came with it. I think thats awesome. i put it on and because it weights nothing i hardly notice it. would be nice for camping for something. the quality of the chain is very nice actually much better then the ones that you get with Dog Tags. The finish is amazing and feels very soild and nice in the hand. THis is really not a review per say just an overview. i cant measure lumens or lux or do run time graphs but i love this light and thought i would share my findings. overall i would rate this light a 8/10
