On your keys, for the night you cannot find your headlamp

Nitecore TINI 3 Keychain Light

500 lumens, USB-C rechargeable, ~14 g

Absurdly bright for something the size of a thumb, and it lives on the keyring you already carry — the runtime at full brightness is measured in minutes, not hours.

What you get

  • Always on you, which beats a better light in a duffel
  • USB-C, so it shares your phone cable
  • Weighs nothing

What it costs you

  • Minutes of runtime at full output
  • Easy to switch on accidentally in a pocket
  • Not a substitute for a headlamp

Do not buy this if: Walking. You need both hands and a beam that lasts.

The alternatives

Everything else we recommend in torches & lanterns, including the ones we think suit a different trekker.
