Best Keychain Flashlights

Last week we wrote a blog about what to look for in an everyday carry flashlight that listed a few of the best everyday carry flashlights. In that blog we mentioned keychain flashlights but we didn't include them in the list of best everyday carry flashlights. So for this blog we wanted to highlight keychain flashlights and talk about some of the best keychain flashlights we have to offer.

Why Buy a Keychain Flashlight

Keychain flashlights are excellent tools for anyone whether you've never carried a flashlight before or your flashlight collection needs its own room in your house. When you put the flashlight on your keychain you have your flashlight so long as you have your keys. And flashlights come in handy incredibly frequently. If you've never really carried a flashlight before then you may not know just how convenient they can be. Keychain flashlights are great if you drop an item underneath a couch or the refrigerator. They're great for looking in dark corners and dark spaces. I've certainly used keychain flashlights when messing with the cables behind the TV or behind my desk where my computer is. If you're having car trouble you can easily pull out your keychain flashlight to have a look under the hood of your car. They provide a great amount of light and are really useful to have.

Four Best Keychain Flashlights

There are a lot of great keychain flashlights to choose from. You can find one that's as powerful as you want, as compact as you want, crafted from the material you want, and have the features you want. In this list of the best keychain flashlights, we’ll talk about four different keychain flashlights that have their own unique styles and their own unique features.

MecArmy BL43

The first keychain flashlight I want to talk about is the MecArmy BL43. This is a durable and excellent keychain flashlight that has an awesome bullet-shaped body design. It's a little over an inch and a half in length, but can fit on your keychain beautifully without adding a lot of extra bulk to it. It features two different brightness levels that you can switch between using the twist switch operation design. The high brightness level is 130 lumens while the low brightness level is 8 lumens. This is plenty of light for a compact tool that fits on a keychain.

The BL43 is also a USB rechargeable flashlight and features a micro USB port located on it. So you can easily charge the flashlight without having to worry about replacing the battery. It also features charging indicators to let you know when the flashlight is charging and when it's fully charged. Another unique feature is that the BL43 keychain flashlight is able to tail stand so you can use it as a small lantern. Check out more on the MecArmy BL43 keychain flashlight.

Nitecore Thumb

The Nitecore Thumb is an excellent economical choice for a keychain flashlight. It delivers up to 85 lumens and also has some unique features that will definitely come in handy. First of all, the Nitecore Thumb features a white LED and a red LED which allows you to use the Thumb in more situations. A red LED is very useful in stealth situations, wildlife observation, or using in the dark without affecting your night vision. You can operate the Thumb using the two switches and you can cycle through the three different brightness levels.

The Thumb also features a 120 degree adjustable head so you can adjust the head where you would like it to go. The Thumb is also USB rechargeable and features a charging indicator making it a very convenient flashlight to charge. This is a keychain flashlight that will have your back but won't break the bank. Definitely check out the Nitecore Thumb keychain flashlight.

MecArmy SGN3

The MecArmy SGN3 is also a multifunctional flashlight. It delivers up to 160 lumens and has three different LEDs: a white LED, a red LED, and a UV. You can use the side switch to access the different lighting functions easily. It features a total of five brightness output including one red output, one UV output, and three white outputs. With the three different LEDs, the SGN3 will come in handy for more than just finding lost items under the couch.

This keychain flashlight is also USB rechargeable and charges in 90 minutes. You can refer to the charging indicator to know if the flashlight is still charging or if it's finished charging. Not to mention, the SN3 comes in a variety of different colors to choose from. Learn more about the MecArmy SGN3 mini flashlight.

MecArmy SGN7

The last flashlight I want to talk about is similar to the SGN3. The SGN7 is another multifunctional flashlight that delivers up to 550 lumens. While the SGN7 is compact and easy to carry around, it may be a bit bulky for a keychain and that's something to consider. However, it is the most powerful keychain flashlight on this list. This keychain flashlight features four brightness levels and is controlled using two different switches. One switch turns the flashlight on and off and cycles through the brightness levels while the other switch activates a flashing strobe mode and a very loud alarm. This keychain flashlight is excellent to have as a form of non-aggressive self-defense. We recommend this flashlight for everybody, but especially for college students. Parents can feel a little easier knowing that their children have this tool on them.

The SGN7 is also USB rechargeable and has a USB output power bank function. So not only can you easily charge the SGN7, you can also use the SGN7 to charge your other USB devices and give them a little bit of power. If your phone dies and you need to make a call, you can use the SGN7 to give your phone enough power to be able to make that phone call. Make sure to check out the MecArmy SGN7 everyday carry flashlight.
