Pelican Progear 1810C LED Keychain Flashlight - Ultra Bright, Compact, Waterproof - Perfect for Camping, Hiking, Emergency & Everyday Carry (EDC)

I have the Pelican 1810, Streamlight Nano, and UST Pico. The Pelican and the UST are noticeably brighter than the Streamlight, and if there's any difference between the Pelican and the UST, the UST might be a shade brighter. They are all effectively the same size. The main differences are in the feel of the bodies of these lights, and the sections that move to trigger the light. All of them twist on/off, but for the Streamlight, the split in the body comes near the middle, and the body is rather smooth, with a few fine checkering marks around the bezel. The Pelican has (relatively) deep concave gouges for your fingers to find in the dark, which go a good way to helping you find where to hold it (to twist in the dark); the Pelican also twists from the tail cap side, which also make the connector ring a de facto part of the twist mechanism, if need be, also giving you extra leverage, if that should ever be an issue (some of them come rather tight direct from the packaging). The UST has a smooth body, but a well checkered bezel, which is the twisting portion, moves readily on command, and is easy to find.So, in contrast to all three of them, I would put the Pelican and the UST about equal at the top. All told, if you like one feel better in your hand, stay with that model, but otherwise, choose the one (between the Pelican and UST) that's cheapest ...seeing as how prices on Amazon can fluctuate.I wanted a small flashlight on my keychain to help out when trying to get into the car when it's dark, checking the mail, or just "whatever". I had one of those disc-shaped lights that you press to light, but the tiny LED on those is so wimpy you might as well not bother most of the time. Not this one though. Good, strong light. It's not going to blind you of course, but if you need some solid light to see under your car seat for that thing you just dropped, or light the path in front of you in a dark parking lot, etc. this light will do the job.I got a Pelican Flashlight 1810C and also a Streamlight 73005 Nano and honesetly they're both so similar in size and light, I like them both (one's for me, one's for the wife), and I don't have a favorite. I guess it comes down to price. I think they both even use the same battery.This review is for both models because they are so similar and I'd have the exact same things to say about them.I bought this as a gift last year for someone for Christmas. I asked them how the light was working and they pointed it at me and turned it on. After the stars cleared from my vision I said pretty good it seems. We were both surprised it is still working; most of those small keychain lights just don't survive daily carrying. It turned out to be a quality gift that is still appreciated.ExcellentI got one of these flashlights for free as a promotional give away on my college campus nearly a year ago and kept it on my keys. When it died, I was so sad that I bought one! It is about an inch in length but it stronger than the flashlight on my phone! It is great to keep on keys as an emergency light or even just something to give you light when you are struggling to get your key in the lock at night time. I have used this light while walking home from campus as night and I feel so much safer with it! It is better than using the cell phone as a flashlight because I dont have to worry about it draining my cell phone battery. It is incredibly useful and I cannot recommend it highly enough!I bought this to replace my Streamlight Nano Mini Keychain flashlight. At first I liked the Streamlight Nano, but it turned on merely by turning the cap, and would turn itself on in my pocket. After buying another set of batteries for it, I put teflon tape on the threads, but after using it just a few times, it went back to its old ways of using up the batteries. For 0.26c more this flashlight is much better. It has two rubber O-rings which prevent the cap from turning in my pocket, and has stayed off. The O-rings make turning the cap much firmer. It is about exactly the same size and brightness. It is just a super-convenient little light for those times when it is too dark to see anything.Well, it's a keychain flashlight, so not much to explain here.Pro: it is small, and surprisingly bright for the size. I like the look, as it doesn't appear like a cheap item. It is well made and solid.Cons: I wish it had an on/off switch. You turn it on by turning the bottom cap on, and back it out to turn it off. Except that you can turn the cap so the light goes off, but some pressure on the cap can activate the light in your pocket. So make sure you turn the cap until the light is off and then give it another half turn.I've been carrying this flashlight in my pocket for a couple of weeks and I'm happy with it. I use it on dog walks as needed and to look into dark spaces behind computers and such.The Pelican Flashlight is 1.5 x .3 inches and I haven't noticed any extra bulk when I have it in my pocket. I've had no problems with the light coming apart, accidentally turning on in my pocket or otherwise malfunctioning.The only downside is one handed operation can be a little awkward because you have to twist the bezel to turn it on. Most of the time this isn't an issue and it can be done without too much fuss. That said, I'd buy the light again and consider giving it as a stocking stuffer.I love this little light! It’s super bright and nice and teeny so it doesn’t bulk up my keys or weigh them down. Only complaint is that you have to twist to turn on/off rather that a button or switch. I worry about over twisting and the whole thing coming apartMe sorprendió gratamente el tamaño ultracompacto y la calidad con la que está construida ésta pequña y discreta lámpara de mano. Se percibe una textura sólida y de calidad. El único detalle que me gustaría le agregaran sería un botón de interruptor de apagado.I've been looking for a capo to use with my ukulele for months. I've tried a bunch and they've all been to bulky. This one is perfect!El tamaño es muy bueno para traerla en el llavero, se siente solida y bien construida. Alumbra muy bien distancias cortas (1 o 2 metros), excelente para cuando estas buscando algo en el auto por la noche.Great flashligh. Worth $
