E3A Small Keychain Mini Light Super Tiny Key Chain Torch AAA Battery(Included) Pocket EDC LED Flashlight for Indoor and Outdoor (Carbon Black High CRI)

Well made, nice beam/light output, simple/easy to use

I have to confess, I was never a fan of AAA lights, thinking them anæmic, both in brightness and runtime, and relegated them to only keychain-lights. Recent offerings from Ultratac, Wuben, Thrunite, Olight, and similar, have been much improved since early übercheap lights. I gotta say, Skilhunt upped everyone's game with the E3A. I don't think I've ever seen even an expensive light, let alone a modest single-AAA light, have so much attention to detail as I see in the E3A. The box is nothing special (it's what's inside that counts! :D ), a typische cardboard retail box with molded insert, holding the light itself, as well as a small glassine envelope with all the accoutrements: spare O-rings, a keychain-loop to go to on the light, and an actual keychain upon which you can hang your keys. Surprisingly, there's no pocket-clip included, but there are two narrower bands onto which you could probably fit one from another AAA light, reversibly. Ie, lens-down into a shirt pocket, or lens-up to clip to a cap's brim to use as a headlamp. That's the only shortcoming I can think of, even though ironically I almost always immediately *remove* any included clip. :D The light itself, though, is a work of art. I got the darker slate-blue color, which is HA3 anodisation, and is flawless, especially with all the nooks and crannies on the light. Not a single void, gap, nick, or chip, anywhere to be found. Also, every single surface is smooth to the touch, no sharp points or edges anywhere, either. And speaking of detail, there's a rather nice spline knurling on the light on both the tube and the head (it *is* a twisty, after all), and further, there are teenytiny ridges on those, too! Think of the ridges around the circumference of a quarter or dime. Texture! Also, the hole to accept a keychain-ring isn't even the usual milled'n'chamfered cutout on one side of the end-cap, but actually milled in the center to a sort of protruding tab. This is also one of the few AAA lights I have which uses a TIR lens instead of a reflector, and it's pebbled, too. No more hotspot with separate spill, the TIR blends everything into a beautiful and incredibly uniform disc of light. Consistent color, not a hint of tint-shift. It's also rather floody, which for me is perfect as I don't intend on spotting what's across the yard with an AAA light, y'know? In close quarters, it's exactly what you need. Now, it's a 1-mode light, just off and on, 100lm. If you're looking for a multimode light, from firefly to full-on, you're out of luck, but for most of what I'd be using a light for, 1-mode is fine. It comes with the AAA cell inside, so you have to remember to remove the plastic insulating tab before using it. But even the cell is included, no need to scrounge around for one or pull one from the remote. :D The light is currently only offered in CW (cool-white), but isn't at all objectionable. In fact, it's not Angry Blue at all, but quite balanced, even neutral. Actual NW (neutral white) is on the way, from what I hear, which should be a bit warmer in color. And I have to say, it's about the most compact AAA light you could find. Only the Olight i3 is about the same size. AAA lights with tailswitches are gigantic in comparison! So this will practically disappear in your pocket. So as mentioned, this is a diminutive all-in-one AAA light with about the most attention to detail as I've ever seen. From the finish to the quality of the beam to the textured knurling right down to the attachment point for the keychain loop, everything's been designed to the last detail. I liked my first one so much I ordered two more. I don't think I want to risk being without one. :D This one's definitely a winner.

Small, lightweight, and powerful beam

Compared to my Olight I3E EOS this light is noticeably dimmer.

This is a nice, extremely compact and lightweight AAA flashlight which is also reasonably bright. I think the main drawback for me is that it only has 1 mode. I would prefer 2 or 3 modes, but I could see how that might be difficult in such a small light. The o-ring seems cheap and gets damaged easily, but Skilhunt do include extra ones in the box. The orange bodied version is a light orange. I wish it was more vibrant orange. The edge of the beam has angular artifacts due to the lens. This is apparent if you rotate the flashlight about its long axis, but this is probably not much of an issue in real life usage. There are 3 LED variations of the this light. I have both the High CRI and the Cool White version. I can't tell a difference in brightness between the two. The High CRI version is rather yellowish (with a color temperature between 3000 - 4000K I would say). I wish the made a High CRI version in a cooler temperature. The border of the beam of the Cool White version is quite blue-ish, which is a bit distracting. In the High CRI version, color shift at the border of the beam is not really noticeable (in other words, the whole beam is basically the same color), so that is plus on the side of the High CRI version.
