The Nitecore TIKI is a 2.25 inch rechargeable keychain light giving 300 lumens from an OSRAM P8 LED, with an auxiliary UV LED.
Three hundred lumens from something 2.25 inches long is a considerable output, and it comes at a cost: turbo runs for 30 minutes. Low gives 15 lumens for 4 hours, which is where the light actually lives. The auxiliary UV LED is the unusual part, useful for checking currency, spotting scorpions, tracing leaks with UV dye and reading security marks.
Being rechargeable removes the coin cells that keychain lights normally eat, and charging is over USB rather than needing a proprietary dock. At this size it lives on a keyring permanently, which is the only way a small light ever gets used. Explore more headlamps and compact lights.
