Thanks for making this review, it was very informative:) When this ting first came out i wasnt too enthusiastic, but now i definately see how versatile it is! Might have to buy one!
Hey man! Really glad your so happy with this light. I've been looking at it along with another Nitecore light & now I feel confident to pull the trigger. Thanks Ben.
Between you and Chris tanner I build my 72 hour camp bag off your gear reviews and Ben this light is just too cool not to pass up. its different in the aspect of how u use it. like the Beacon light function. another great vid Ben
Neat! I can see using that on my body when I need to walk home in the Dark, or walking the Dog, or on the Kids come Halloween Trick or Treat or next to the Circuit Breaker Box or, well there's a lot of good reasons to keep one handy in the EDC Pouch. Thanks Ben!
Well darn, im going to have to get me one of these now, will go nicely with all the other lanters and lights i have stored up incase SHTF. wonderful review while sneaking a jess-x in there too.
I loved this light before watching this review but now I'm even more confident that I need to get one. I'm also exceptionally interested in the Nitecore LR30 since it's basically the same idea but a little bit bigger, much higher output, and even longer runtimes due to the fact it can use 18650 batteries. I don't know if you were planning on reviewing the LR30 but I think you'd love it and I would love to hear your thoughts on it.
Great video. What type of battery chemistry is safest for extreme temps? I’m getting this for a car light in Missouri, where temperatures range from -15 to 115 degrees. I’m less worried about degradation in power than I am about violent eruption. Thanks.
Good one, Ben. One for the car, and one for everywhere else. Sold. (Need to do something with those Eneloops, since I don't really like many AA flashlights!)
That's a cool little item , a must have just for coolness. Than it's multipurpose light and magnetic bottom features kick in and throw in an affordable price and it's like, how many do you want.
Another great review. This is a neat little lantern, but I just get diffuser tips for most of my flashlights and then I don't have to carry an extra piece of gear like this that only serves one purpose.
Yes it was a great review and an interesting design but I agree with you, I'd rather use my brighter 18650 flashlight and pull out a diffuser for the very rare times its needed. I tend to hate the light produced by lanterns and diffusers. Its glaring to look at even in the corner of my eye. I always prefer the light to be pointed away from me. During a power outage tail-standing a flashlight in a room will get you more efficient and normal room lighting with gain from a white ceiling especially. When camping I hang my flashlight around the head so it points up in my tent also and prefer that. The only time I need a diffuser tip is on a table or out in the open but in many years I never needed that.
A magnet will only attach to ferromagnetic metals like steel or iron, not to "any metallic surface" as stated . ie. it will not attach to aluminium & copper, etc. Other than that, great review and a nice looking mini pocket lantern. Thanks for taking time to do this review.
I still have problems switching the light intensity, its either off or on for me. I managed to get the strobe working but it was out of pure luck. Regardless, this is a sweet light to have.
Very cool Ben. Also Ben I bought a tops alrt because of your video. I had my old lady order it for me, she has the PayPal. I told her to get it from your Amazon but she just used regular lol. Sorry man
An easy trick to almost double the light output that I have been using in my Coast AA flashlight is a 3.7 volt lithium rechargeable battery. Yes it does get hotter but not that much. Been using it daily for over a year with no ill effects.
I got the Granvela K18 and that burned out pretty fast using a 14500. In the Granvelas case even though this little keychain light can produce 360 lumen with the 14500, using a AAA NIMH and only getting 110 lumen is more realistic. Maybe Coast is a better design for 14500 use.
I'll add that I work with an electronic engineering department and the route of all solid state failure is heat. The same circuit board getting hotter than another will cause its lifespan to be less. So even in the Coast flashlight, maybe using a 14500 you get a couple years if its designed well but maybe you get 10 years if you use a NIMH battery.
Many lights will fail prematurely when using a 14500 unless they were specifically designed to use them. The Nitecore MT-10A is one such light and works well with 14500 or AA... But, it's not a lantern.
Logic Bob I was thinking why not just make them detach an send a white an red one with the light, it can't be more expensive well maybe, but then you'd have a proper flashlight as well. still, cool product.
Don't see the point of twisting to deploy. That would be annoying, would rather spring loaded or pull to open. Takes to long to twist it. Also not a fan of Primary cell lights. Lights are only as good as the batteries that power them.
You make me buy more shit than I need. Haha thanks brother keep the videos comin good work
I've been told that once or twice ;)
miss the april fools baby ...bring my baby back !
no shit I am at 1800 just this month my wife wants to cancel my Amazon acct
I still got my fenix tk-10 when will it fail going on 10 years 2008 is when I bought it I think?
I'm joining the choir on this, I must have it!
So simple but a great idea. I'll be picking 1 of these up.
Thanks for the review!

Just got one - nice little light. Thanks for explaining the modes.
I really like this light!! Everything about it is simply well designed. And yes...common batteries are to my mind, the way to go. :-)
Hey man! Really glad your so happy with this light. I've been looking at it along with another Nitecore light & now I feel confident to pull the trigger. Thanks Ben.
thanks for watching.
I'm impressed with their "outside the box" thinking 👍🏻👍🏻
Very cool little lantern. Thanks for the review and info.
Damn! Just when I was sure I had every kind of flashlight I needed!!!! Thanks for the great vids, Ben!
just received mine today. very cool. this little thing is very bright! very well made. keep the gear reviews coming.
nice randy, enjoy.
Great little light & nice mod! Solid channel. Keep em coming!
thanks for the comment.

all good examples, yes.
I will have to get one of these. I like the idea for when the power goes out.
Excellent camper light, general all rounder really, awesome!

that is a nice little light, would love to see this with a red or orange light for the emergency beacon
That's a cool little item , a must have just for coolness. Than it's multipurpose light and magnetic bottom features kick in and throw in an affordable price and it's like, how many do you want.
great vid.Cool light and nice Jess x.
nice, great for camp lighting or tents.
now that is a unique item, kudos to whomever thought of it...

Thanks for taking time to do this review.
What would be the brighter of the two beams I’m going to mention, a cool white lep or a cri 90 ?
You had me at AA 😍
I still have problems switching the light intensity, its either off or on for me. I managed to get the strobe working but it was out of pure luck.
Regardless, this is a sweet light to have.
i like that! gonna have to get one
DO IT!
Well, I guess I needed another light anyway!?! Awesome review! Cant wait 'til it gets here!
thanks Tom.
Hey that's pretty cool. I love battery powered lanterns!
Gee thanks! Like I needed another torch :D
Awesome review!
thanks Teddy.
A Flash and Splash is cheaper at 10 dollars and is water proof...what should i get??
Excellent camera work! Would you mind telling what camera setup you use? The quality is amazing!
canon g7x
your a good sales man
Thank You!
Another neat one.
Is it water resistent or perhaps waterproof?
Very cool Ben. Also Ben I bought a tops alrt because of your video. I had my old lady order it for me, she has the PayPal. I told her to get it from your Amazon but she just used regular lol. Sorry man
That LED is interesting. Can you recommend a pocket light with that LED?

Great review 👍 . Just subscribed to your channel
Thanks!
that's a sweet flood light

A 14500 you mean, yep some can run it.
I got the Granvela K18 and that burned out pretty fast using a 14500. In the Granvelas case even though this little keychain light can produce 360 lumen with the 14500, using a AAA NIMH and only getting 110 lumen is more realistic. Maybe Coast is a better design for 14500 use.

The Nitecore MT-10A is one such light and works well with 14500 or AA... But, it's not a lantern.
@@wanderingcalamity360 This is true, most lights warn against it, however, my Coast recommends right on the package a 14500 for extra light output.
The forbidden push-up pop.
nice review
So now you review lipstick too? This is a good one i give you that
I wish this had a white AND red LED and/or a lower "moonlight" mode but I'll definitely pick one up anyway. I may have to modify the diffuser to red.
Logic Bob I was thinking why not just make them detach an send a white an red one with the light, it can't be more expensive well maybe, but then you'd have a proper flashlight as well. still, cool product.
Olympic Outdoors Dad Good idea.
It says it's a 135 lumens for $25 on Nitescores website. Maybe it's a newer model.
What a great all around flashlight.
Thanks for the video.
They made a few similar ones.
Holy hair gel batman!
tactical hair gel
I thought it was lip balm cool design
It z costly bt no doubt great
Chapstick and flashlight in one 👍
YUP
waterproof?
Lmao here cause I want the supreme jaunt
how i wish it has a button on and off to
sold! take my money!
IKR
*not bad*
Is this fit in Altoid tin ???
it's just a little too thick for altoids. It fits but the top doesn't close all the way.
I am sold
I was sold before I even knew about the other modes. Then I was like holy cow this is sweet.
It will only stick to ferrous metals, there are lots it won't stick to👍🇺🇸🧀🔦
$22 with the coupon code...can't go wrong...
Don't see the point of twisting to deploy.

Also not a fan of Primary cell lights. Lights are only as good as the batteries that power them.
I hate magnetic tail clips!!!! I don’t allow magnets in my system because they kill your compass!
As if you ever need a compass with your phone.
Considering it is the same size, I am surprised that this "lantern" cannot accept a 14500 battery. Oh well.
it probably can but the led may not be rated for it.
No pocket clip....pity...
хер знает, и хочется и колется
Way to much trouble to purchase here. Passwords, emails, ect. Just let me pay and I am done.
Ray karl ebay.com is cheaper and less bs
