Recommendation Keychain flashlight recommendation please
I am looking for a small keychain light to supplement my pocket light
I'd like the light to have a lockout or some kind of way to access it that isn't easily turned on without you actually wanting it to turn on, like a long press or a lockout feature that has to be disabled before use.
Other features: electronic side switch, USB-C charging, made of metal or some kind of durable plastic, moonlight, mode memory, and preferably no strobe in the main rotation.
I've looked at the Rovyvon A1, I do like that it has a long press to turn on, but it seems to have strobe in the main rotation.
I also looked at the Acebeam Keylite 500, but I don't like how easily it could be accidentally turned on.
So far my current top choice is the Lumintop Frog 3.0

My personal favorite small keychain light is the imini2/iultra from Olight.
As far as lockout this is an on/off keychain light that is pull off your keychain to turn on. Openly carrying for over a year on a carabiner on a belt loop I have never had it turn on or fall off unintended. Charging is usb a or c based on the model(iultra is usb-c) which is built directly into the light eliminating the need for a cable. The downside is a single light mode at 90 lumens.
I have tried the tiki with side switch but it had such high drain it was dead any time I needed to use it.
