- Turning the light on is fast and easy—simply swipe your thumb right-to-left across the casing; turn the light off at any time with a quick left-to-right swipe
- Swiping right-to-left also switches between high, low and flash modes; holding your thumb in the swipe zone enters variable dim, allowing you to choose the level of light
- High, variable dim, low and flash modes allow you to use the light for everything from reading maps to finding keyholes or sending alert signals
- Single bright white LED outputs 16 lumens on high and 2 lumens on low
- Included S-biner stainless-steel, double-gated carabiner lets you clip the light to keychains, belt loops, zipper pulls and pack straps so it's always close by
- Inova Microlight STS keychain light is powered by 2 replaceable CR2032 lithium batteries (included); batteries last for 9 hrs. in high mode and 64 hrs. in low mode

Read More This is a powerful light, but unfortunately the swipe feature to turn on is "hit or miss". It's frustrating. And often when placed in my pocket, it turns on without knowing. Battery went dead quickly because of that. Search for another brand. -

Read More One of the best key chain microlights. It deserves 5 stars if not for a problem it has with the way it turns on. Because a swipe turns it on, it can turn on in my wife's purse simply due to being jostled around, which helps drains the battery. Except for this problem of turning on by accident, it is a great little light. -

Read More Received one of these as a gift from someone that works in the airline industry, they're quite popular with pilots (especially helicopter crews). I do find it a bit tricky to turn on sometimes and it's rather dim, but we've found a great use for it - walking the dog at night! We clip it to his harness on the strobe mode and it makes him much more visible to us and cars. The strobe setting is bright and seems to work for a long time on a set of batteries (the main reason they're popular for helicopter crews - beacon in case of crash, very lightweight and easy to clip to your gear).
Warning:
A block of warning text that breaks onto a new line and may extend beyond one line.
Read More Like other reviewers, I had trouble with this light coming on accidentally, which I could deal with, but I was unable to get the unit opened once the battery ran down. Even the finest jewelers screwdriver was unsuccessful at undoing the TINY screws.
