Nitecore TINI 2 Keychain Flashlight, Gray 500 Lumen USB-C Rechargeable with Digital Display LumenTac Charging Cable

I knew this would be tiny, but I was still surprised when I got it in my hand. It's impressive how bright this thing is given its size, and they managed to stuff a OLED screen in it, too! Like others have mentioned, even in its lowest setting, it makes plenty of light. I'm a flashlight enthusiast, so I have quite a collection of high-end flashlights, which is to say that I am familiar with lumen output. in 200-lumen mode, this thing definitely puts out plenty of light, making it a very good everyday-carry tool. I saw another reviewer say that this is advertised as 500-lumen, but only puts out 200 -- well, evidently he didn't read the user manual on how to activate 500-lumen mode. It really does put out a ton of light. The light is un-focused and spreads wide quickly, but for a light this small, it makes sense -- you're not going to use this to search for livestock out in the pasture at midnight. It's perfect for lighting up a purse or backpack, or messing with wires under the computer desk, or lighting up a whole room when the power goes out. I love the OLED display -- it's simple, but informational, and definitely gives it the "cool factor." I ordered the titanium version, and when I first got it out of the package, I immediately thought I might have gotten a fake and not a genuine Nitecore because of how light it felt. What is supposed to be a titanium case felt like plastic, and even the markings on the back are rough and look fake. But after I set it down for a few seconds, then picked it back up, I noticed it felt slightly cold -- that tells me it actually is metal and not plastic. To be sure, I removed the screws to disassemble the casing, and when I set the empty shell on the table, it definitely had a metallic sound. Whew! Okay, it really is titanium, then. Overall, this is a fine tool and one that I will likely carry daily.

I bought both the steel and titanium versions. The titanium version weighs about 24 grams and the steel one is 28 grams or 1 ounce. Very compact for the output available but if Turbo mode is used much the light will get very hot and Turbo mode discharges the battery quickly. Turbo mode requires continuous depression of the mode button. The lockout modes are easy to engage/disengage and help to prevent the light from being accidentally discharged while being carried. Availability of the lockout capability is a major upgrade compared to the first generation TINI.

I'll put the good stuff up front, you can scroll down for more info. This is the smallest brightest flashlight you can get. USB C lithium ion rechargeable battery makes all the difference compared to disposable battery powered lights. The beam distance is short, it's a flood style light, not a spot light. But it will light up a very small area like daylight and light up a pitch black room just enough to see without moving the light around (you can point the light at the ceiling and dimly illuminate the whole room). The 500 lumen Turbo mode is great for EDC. If you drop something on the ground, or need to look behind the TV, for anything that you just need a short burst of bright light. Keep in mind Turbo mode only works for 10-20 seconds before it steps down in brightness, and it will drain the battery in about 12 minutes if that's the only setting you use. But as I said for short bursts, you can light up a room. It can also be used defensively to momentarily blind an attacker, buying you a few seconds to get away. The 200 lumen high setting has around a 40 min run time and is bright enough to go on a short walk, or provide light for any task. Again it is impressively bright for such a small light. The 65 and 15 Lumen settings arent what I would have picked. I would have gone with 100 lumen 50 lumen. But that being said if you need to go on a walk for longer than an hour and this is the only light you've got. It will provide enough light at 65 lumens for you to see where youre going. The 15 lumen setting is good in dark rooms at night, if you dont want to wreck your night vision or hurt your eyes if you've been sleeping. The 1 lumen setting is also good for preserving night vision. Or for emergency use as the runtime is well over 24hrs. This is my 4th nitecore flashlight. And I've given several away as gifts. As a company I find their products reliable. I'm a big fan of the TIP with the CRI bulb. This is my first TINI, my biggest concern was could I get paracord through the keychain eyelet. It was a tight fit, but yes you can get paracord in there and make a fob (makes it easier to hold and harder to lose if you like to carry in your pocket. I tend to carry the TINI and TIP in my shirt pocket. I couldn't be happier with it. I hope they make a CRI bulb version in the near future. Cool white is not my favorite.

I like the small size, and durability. Very well made. I like that you long press to turn on the light, so it doesn’t accidentally come on in my pocket or purse. The light has three option brightness, the brightest shone across our quarter acre yard. It packs a punch in this very small unit. Pricey, I had to think about it, but so glad I made the investment.

This flashlight is good, but has 1 issue. The light is tiny, bright, has great battery life. The display is much nicer than I'd expect for a flashlight in this price range. People are really impressed when they see all the light coming from such a small package. The big issue is the lockout functions. I've read the instructions multiple times, but my brain can't remember how to engage/disengage the lockout features. It isn't intuitive and could use a printed reminder on the light. I'll lock it out by accident, and spend forever hitting button combinations to unlock it. I like to put it in the small pocket in my jeans, and it is surprisingly bright. Unfortunately I've accidentally turned it on in my pocket, only to find it dead when I needed it. If only there was a lockout feature....

An excellent keychain flashlight. Really impressed with the brightness, response, battery level indicator and shape and size. Overall it is by far the best keychain flashlight I own. Good job NITECORE.

A little tricky to lock/ unlock the flashlight, otherwise great little light 👍

This is my third tiny, I wouldn't recommend the standard ones, they feel like second degree The stainless steel one and the titanium one definitely feels better

Seems like a great tiny thing which I hope holds up to my many family adventures to come.

Parfait pour les déplacements surtout lorsque que l'éclairage est inexistante.Bonne luminositéet très compacte
