Good little gift for whoever
Nice little gadget which has a surprisingly decent output considerijng what it is (I have a weaker light: an LED pen. That will light up the desk about 6 inches in front of me. This thing by contrast will cast useful light on the far wall in dark room, though I doubt it would be much use outdoors)
This is perfectly useful for finding lost objects on the floor of the car, etc.
Get a bunch and give as gifts. I gave one to my mum, and she was very pleased (despite her general scorn of my buying photon cannons that light up nearby planets).
I don't know if this was mentioned in the vendor review, but if you find the fingernail-on function annoying, you can just flick the switch back for permanent-on.
Batteries probably cost more than the light, so just get a bunch of them and give away a few spares when you give gifts. At 80c, who the hell cares what the battery costs?

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.

Pros: The light is small enough to be convenient and is very bright. Very good price.
Cons: The batteries don't look easy to replace. Also, I think that the brightness comes mainly from the fact that 6V is being put on the LED, which might affect its lifespan. The on/off switch might have been designed better.
Other Thoughts: You can't complain about the quality for this price. It does what it needs to do, but the switch could have been designed better. Also, I'm not sure about the LED's lifespan, but we'll see.
Bottomline: If you need a LED keychain: get this, or the 10 pack even!
Excellent little flashlight for your pocket

Pros: This is great. It's a similar product to sku.20242 but the clear version. It also has a little switch to keep the light on if you prefer not to squeeze it to use it. I also like the fact that its really flat and fits perfectly on your keychain between your keys.
Cons: There aren't many cons about this product. It is cheap, it is small, but it works and feels good. It's thin and bright. The pictures show the item being clear, however the shots do not have the battery. When the batter is inside (it comes this way) it appears more silver than clear.
Other Thoughts: You can't go wrong with these, once your friends see you have something like this, they will probably be asking you where you got it from.
Bottomline: Worth getting if you need a handy little pocket flashlight!
Very handy light

Pros: A lot brighter than I expected.
Small, light weight.
Easy to operate.
Slide-on switch works great.
Cheaper than chips!!!
Solidly built, looks like it will go the distance.
Cons: None - can't beat it for the price!
Other Thoughts: 500 characters...500 characters...500 characters...500 characters...500 characters...500 characters...500 characters...500 characters...500 characters...500 characters...500 characters...500 characters...500 characters...500 characters...500 characters...500 characters...500 characters...500 characters...500 characters...500 characters...500 characters...500 characters...500 characters...500 characters...500 characters...
Bottomline: I was amazed how bright this little thing is. When attached to keys it's so small and light you don't even notice it's there. You have gota get one, for the price you can't go wrong.

Pros: Very bright for a flashlight keychain!
Perfect for a keychain or for a flashlight (or both...).
You may keep it "on" using a key or just pressing it for a momentary light.
Small to take in a pocket or in a bag. I let one in the car, for an emergency.
Price is very good.
Cons: Take care putting it in small places. There is no way to keep it "off" and you may press it accidentally.
Other Thoughts: I bought it use it as a gift. People really like it. They got surprised to see so bright light in so small device.
Bottomline: Instead of give it, Im thinking in sell it...
