 Impractical without better on/off switch March 17, 2010
Number 7
I read some of the other reviews of how this light needs a better on/off switch and thought I could manipulate the twist "just right" so that it wouldn't turn on accidentally.
Unfortunately the distance of twist between on, off, and falling apart is very small. Also, the twist is loose, simply rubbing against a pocket is enough force to twist it on. Every few hours throughout the day I would find that it somehow twisted itself on again.
I agree with other comments that it is small and bright. The on/off design simply makes it unusable, or in my pockets it was really the on/on design. Even though it's inexpensive I still felt like it was a waste of money as I am not going to use it.
Maybe in the future they'll make a press button one with similar features, until then I am going with something else.
Handy light. March 15, 2010

Nice keychain light. Bright for it's size. I put it on my keychain and it is so small and light I forget it is there until I need it.
 Bright light, but batteries fall out in your pocket March 15, 2010

This light was very bright and the perfect size for what I was looking for, a small key chain flashlight. I am a real estate agent and I often visit houses with no electricity and this light was perfect for going in dark basements. However, you must twist the top portion to turn the light on, and twist it more to remove the top piece to access the battery area. Often times, I found the 3 small batteries falling out in my pocket because the top was twisting off inadvertently. This happened so often that I eventually lost the top piece altogether. Just beware that you check your pockets thoroughly every time you take the keys out of your pocket and make sure this little light is still in tact or you'll end up wasting your money and losing the top of the flashlight.
Do not buy this light March 4, 2010

I hate this light. Yes, it is bright, but it needs to be redesigned. It needs an on/off switch. To make it come on, you twist it, like a mag-light. I put it on my keychain and you have to turn it so it doesn't come on when it's in your pocket or purse, which means you have to twist it way loose. Therefore, now it is loose and this is the battery compartment. There is a fine line between accidentally coming on all the time and running the 4, yes 4 watch batteries down, or taking a chance on it being so loose that it falls apart... which it does often. This morning, I was putting my keys in my coat pocket and it fell apart. All 4 batteries went rolling around the parking garage and I spent 15 minutes trying to find them. By the way, even though it says the bulb last for thousands of hours, the batteries don't.... to replace 4 watch-size batteries cost more than double the price of the light to begin with, so when the batteries go dead, throw the thing away. What a poor design. If you buy this light you will be disappointed!
 Great little light. And a tip to keep the head snug. February 27, 2010

The nano is a very bright light for it's very small size. It will fit nicely on a man's key chain and it will not be conspicuous in the front pockets of his dress slacks.
From the factory, the head will screw on and off a little too easily. Per one reviewer's complaint, I can see how it could easily unscrew and come apart unexpectedly. My tip to fix this problem; wrap a little plumber's teflon tape around the threads. The head will still turn smoothly, but it will be sung enough to prevent it from accidentally coming apart in a pocket or purse. I plan on buying these little guys by the dozen for Christmas presents this year.
