Olight i1R 2 Pro

The Olight i1R 2 Pro is a rechargeable keychain flashlight that proves big performance can come in a tiny package. At just 51mm long and 22 grams, it is one of the smallest USB-C rechargeable lights available, yet it delivers a useful 180 lumens — more than enough for finding keyholes, navigating dark parking lots, or reading a map at night. The USB-C charging port is a significant upgrade over earlier models that used proprietary or micro-USB connections, making it compatible with the same cable you use for your phone.

Operation is dead simple: twist the head to turn it on, twist further to increase brightness. No buttons to accidentally activate in your pocket, no complicated UI to memorize. The twist mechanism also acts as a lockout, preventing the light from draining its battery unintentionally. The built-in battery means there are no tiny cells to purchase or replace, and a few minutes on a USB-C cable provides enough charge for hours of intermittent use throughout the day.

As a keychain light, the i1R 2 Pro excels because you will actually carry it. At 22 grams, you will forget it is on your keyring until you need it. The 48-meter throw covers close-range tasks perfectly, and the aluminum body is surprisingly durable for its size. At $21.99, it is an easy purchase for anyone who wants a reliable light source always within reach. An ideal gift for anyone who has never carried a flashlight before — once they try it, they will never go back.
