These little lights are quite bright for their size. It's great to have one on keychains for finding those keyholes in the dark. If you are buying them as gifts and want a good presentation, then I recommend screwing those screws tighters before giving it out. Build quality is otherwise good considering its price. The only issue I had with it is that the on/off switch is too tiny and requires finger nails to operate.
We would have rated it a higher ease of use rating if the switch were larger and if the batteries could be changed without screw drivers.

Great Value, Super Bright Light
These little lights are awesome! They are extremely bright and I almost blinded my brother with one. The price is unbelievable! I want to buy 90 more and make a chandelier out of them. Anyway, can't go wrong with this price. Great for little gifts!
Pros: - Very bright. - Stylish design. - Available in a variety of colors. - Cheap! - Good build quality.
Cons: - The botton to hold the light switch on is a bit small, have to use your fingernail.
Bottomline: This is one of the items that I buy occasionally from DX. I always have a few of them on my keychain, providing light when I need it. Because of the job I have, I occasionally work in places where the power is out, so this is very useful. You'll always be prepared with this thing on your keychain. It makes a nice gift too, definitely buying more :)
Pros: These are great gifts for friends to have attached to their key chains. Has locked light switch along with push on. Bright little handy flashlight.
Cons: Always on switch could be difficult to switch on for fat fingered people. The small ring is a bit thin and can bend.
Other Thoughts: For the size and feature, this is a great gift. It's awfully bright for a pint size.
Bottomline: Everyone I gave this to loved it. Very useful to have around.
Pros: The price is spectacular. The light is extremely useful. I put them everywhere that has a loop so I can put a carbiner and this light. The build quality is high. I haven't drained one of these on accident yet. The little switch to keep it on is surprisingly awesome. These are awesome gifts
Cons: I don't have any cons really. The only thing that bugs me is the 3 wk wait to receive them.
Other Thoughts: I've ordered 5 packs of these already and I keep running out. These are excelling giveaways to friends because nobody carries lights for some reason. I feel sorry for them but at least they'll have SOME kind of light with this keychain fob connected.
Bottomline: I bought these for my emergency packs. I put them on a carbiner (along with a whistle) attached to the zippers. If an emergency hits and power goes out, I can feel for the bag and use the light to open the rest of the pack and prepare myself. I love these lights.
Pros: - Very bright for a keychain light - The light is very white - You get 10 of these for about the same price 1 (one) costs at your local supermarket - The battery lasts very long, unless you use them constantly. If you do, they die pretty fast - There is a switch for a constant beam
Cons: - The build quality is not the best - Obviously not waterproof, but if they get wet, you could probably just let them dry for a couple of days, as they don't contain anything but a LED and a battery in a plastic casing
Other Thoughts: Since you get ten of these for just 4,5$, the issues about build quality, battery life, sensitivity to water and anything else that is related to their lifetime are pretty irrelevant. If one goes broke, just take another one. Repeat 9 times.
Bottomline: Despite a so-so build quality, you get 10 very cheap keychain LEDs. They are bright, there is a switch for a constant beam if your thumb gets tired, the battery lasts long enough if you use them what they are intended for, namely letting you find your cell phone in a dark room, letting you see the keyhole when you come home late, and so on. Definitely a good buy!
