Recommend me a keychain flashlight

4Sevens Quark Mini123... Incredible little light for the money. I'm thinking about trying a Preon too but all the Quarks are awesome. My wife is going to steal my Mini so I'll get another. Too good to pass up.
 
My wife has a regular 4sevens Quark123 on her keychain (she has a big keychain) I love the light and am going to get either (or both) the Preon or the miniquark next.

Great lights, and very bright for the small packages!
 
Thanks everyone for the responses. I finally decided to get a stainless ITP A3 and it arrived yesterday. The build quality is amazing! The outside is perfectly polished, the LED and reflector are perfectly centered, the threads are smooth, and there was no machining debris to be found. Also, it is easy to use and amazingly bright for its size. Famous last words I know, but I really believe this is going to be the last flashlight I buy in a while.

The iTP EOS A3 is an AAA sized light that uses a single battery. The three levels of output are something like 1.5, 18, and 80 lumens. The body is offered in Aluminum, Titanium, and stainless steel. The difference in weight between the Al and Ti models is 3.5 gm (13vs.16.5). I carry the Titanium model on my keychain because there is no finish to wear off. The difference in price is roughly $25 ($20vs.$45). If you put the pocket clip on backwards, it will clip to the bill of a baseball cap. It takes about two hands to turn it on because it is a twisty, but the absence of a button switch keeps the size quite short.

I don't have one on my keychain, but it's in my pocket all the time!
 
Countycomm.com has the world's first solid copper mini AAA flashlight but I wonder how the finish will hold up..... It seems it would dull..

I do love the look of copper though, especially because I'm an electrician and deal with it all day.

They have the maratac AAA in aluminum, stainless steel and copper. I can't remember if they have titanium or not. I'd love to have one of each, they're great lights but the Aluminum is probably the lightest so it will be on my keychain for a long time to come.

I just ordered one of the AA Maratacs in stainless steel to compare it to my wife's Fenix AA light.

Holy cow, that's cool!

I have the Maratac AAA in Stainless, and 2 of the anodized Aluminum finishes. Great little lights that make great gifts.
 
I am constantly amazed at the Maratac AAA. When I first read about it I had to have one and quite frankly for $20 plus its an amazing deal.

Mine is still running on its original AAA and I use it all the time (granted not on high a lot). Its on my keychain and its withstood a fair amount of banging around.

Plus with 3 levels its incredibly versatile. The amount of light it shoves out on high just blows people away.

I think its very hard to beat. However, if you dont need 3 levels of light there are other excellent choices. But I like having options. :D
 
Well thanks to this thread I,ve ordered the ITP A3 Upgrade.A few bucks cheaper than the Maratac & I used the discount code & got 10% off also.Got the sparkie fire steel too.
Thanks for all the info guys,especially storl,what a great thread.

I use one of the 4sevens preons and think it is a great company as well. My next flashlight is a quark.
