Nitecore Tube v2.0 55 Lumen USB Rechargeable Ultralight Keychain Flashlight (Jacinth)

I use this almost daily as it it bright and consistent. I use it as a keychain so I have it with me all the time. It is bright enough to walk home from the train at night on it's brightest setting, but soft enough to use in a restaurant to read a menu on it's lower setting. iPhone flashlights are so bright in a restaurant and using this Nitecore Tube is more subtle. The battery last about an hour on the high setting. This is the smallest rechargeable flashlight I have found and so useful. Buy it and you won't be sorry.

I think this is a pretty great little keychain light, and I'll probably buy a few more for family members. It would be nice if it were USB-C, but I'm just glad it's rechargeable at all. The light output is sufficient for short-range things, and the interface is simple enough. I like the relatively flat design a bit better than something like the ubiquitous tube – at least for keychain carry. My only minor gripe about the one I ordered is that the "Olive" – which looked a bit subdued, like a transparent olive drab – is more of an electric green. I would've preferred the former, but the latter is fine, and not enough of an issue to knock a star off the review. I've added a couple photos to show size comparison between a Rovyvon A8, the Tube v2.0, and a Photon Micro-Light.

Works well I put it on my granddaughter's backpack she likes it

Over many years, I have purchased a lot of flashlights of different brands, including Nitecore. The Tube is a great light, and possibly the only Nitecore light I may continue to purchase. Too many bad experiences with their more expensive models…and customer service hasn’t helped with defective lights, even with a light that cost in the range of about $200! Very disappointing, as Nitecore has some really innovative lights. The Tube is a very basic light, so if you’re looking for extremely bright and “fancy,” this is NOT for you. This light is more than adequate for most simple lighting needs, with adjustable brightness, recharge ability and reasonable cost.

I'm using this as my primary light for hikes, and on it's lowest setting, and once my eyes are adjusted, it works just fine and that is on crappy trails with hardly any footpath. Not too bad, and the battery should last 50 hours at that setting, unbelievable! So happy I got this light and such a savings in my backpack. It's so light, it goes in all my hiking packs, might as well. It's only 12g with a shock cord! Long term use update** So I've been using the nitecore tube as my primary hiking light for 4 seasons now, and it's still going strong. If I know I'm doing a lot of night hiking, I don't take this though and rather opt for a nu20, but for all my standard backpacking trips where I plan on being at camp before dark, I bring my tube along. It charges up nicely using a powerbank and the light lasts a very long time. I don't even need to use it at peak brightness, I can get by at about half brightness. I like mine, and I now have three of them. Very happy with the product.

I've used a few different EDC keychain flashlights, and this Nitecore Tube v2 is my preference for a balance between light weight, ease of use, (can find the on/off button easily), brightness levels, and price. I like that I can retrieve this from my pocket and with two clicks can have plenty of illumination for most all my needs. I also like the ease of switching to the lockoff feature to prevent accidental pocket/whatever power on, even though I don't use this feature in my everyday use. The fact that the first click to power on enables very low illumination is great - I've used this a couple of times - once helping someone find their dropped glasses in a dark movie theater. The first click is low intensity to not bother anyone, yet still bright enough to be useful. I did once experience an issue with my Nitecore Tube v2. I contacted the dealer through Amazon, and within a couple of days my issue was resolved to my complete satisfaction. They do stand behind their products. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase from them in the future.

This compact little two-setting light is just right for my needs. I use the low setting for getting around the house after we have all gone to bed, and it is plenty bright for that purpose. The high setting is surprisingly bright, and I just use that occasionally when I need to get a better look at something. I love the fact that it is rechargeable via USB, as I was getting tired of replacing all those expensive little button batteries in my previous light. This light is small and light enough to just drop into your pocket if you are one of those guys (like me) who likes to carry a flashlight pretty much everywhere. (There is a simple procedure that allows you to disable the button so it won't accidentally activate in your pocket). I do have to warn you not to look directly into the LED, especially while it is on the high setting. It is extremely bright at close range and it will blind you and have you seeing spots for quite awhile. Take my advice: Don't look directly at the sun, and don't look directly at the LED.

This is a good little keychain flashlight. It has two intensities. Compact and lightweight . Rechargeable, which is a plus. However the advertising on the Amazon site led me to believe I was ordering one that has a pivoting head. I will keep this one since it is good to light your way in a dark room. It is probably better than nothing if you are outdoors walking in a dark or dimly lit street or if you are out in the woods with no other kind of light but if you are riding a bike and need to see several feet in front of you this would not cut the mustard. . Of course I have not tried it in such a manner. I have not used the light on a long term basis and am not sure how long lasting and rugged it is. I will update as I am able to.

Nice and bright. It has protection against accidental in-pocket turn on.

Bright and handy. Sometimes it gets switched on in my pocket which is not a big deal with USB charging.

good

As advertised

this is the second one that I have bought. it would be good to see a bulletin magnet to attach to surfaces and improve utility because you can only really hold it as is.
