I currently carry a Fenix PD20. But, I've been looking for something smaller for my keychain. Lots of really good options here. I think I might just stick with a smaller one from Fenix though. The PD20 is great.

Thanks for all of the suggestions guys. I got my Fenix E05 in the mail today (from Amazon) and its on my keys now. Its an awesome little light for $18. Thanks again for all of the suggestions. I really appreciate it.

nice choice with the E05, ive tried about 5 other keychain lights before my E05.
ive had mine since its release last year, and im still on my first battery. i dont usually use it for long periods. walking to the car at night, looking for something in the car... short moments.

i use an energizer lithium AAA. runtime tests have show it last about 5 hours. no worries about the battery leaking either.

You're welcome.
Had a great buying experience from an eBay seller-harrisdecoys
I have no affiliation. Just a totally satisfied customer.
Wanted to mention them because it is rare these days to find a seller who actually provides outstanding customer service from start to finish.

I've got Photons on all my key chains, I do not want anything larger than today's car keys in my pocket! I do have an LD01 in my pocket if I
think I'll need a flashlight.

The E05 isn't much bigger than a key

I've had the same photon 2 on my keys for longer than I can remember- at least 8 years! Used it a lot more before I started carrying the L0D on there, but what I fantastic little backup tool. I would not be too happy if I needed a real light and only had the photon, though.

I just received a Fenix LD01 today and I think it is a great light. I was considering the E05 and then I found someone with a used LD01 for sale. Before that I was carrying a Fenix P1 which is a single CR123 light. The P1 is small, barely larger than the CR123 battery itself, but it is a lot larger diameter than the LD01 which in turn is barely larger than the AAA battery. My P1 uses the older Luxeon LED and the LD01 with its Cree is brighter.
