I1R 2 Pro EOS EDC Keychain Torch 180 Lumens Twist-Switch LED Flashlights Powered by USB Rechargeable Battery, Tiny Pocket Lamp for Hiking or Camping (Black)

Nice and bright for a key chain size torch

I'm a big fan of the Olight i1R 2, so when I saw the i1R 2 Pro on offer, I snapped one up. There were more differences than I expected. Size: The i1R 2 Pro is slightly longer and fatter than the i1R 2. The Pro is almost exactly the same length as an AA battery, but a bit plumper. The i1R 2 is a bit shorter than an AA battery, but about the same diameter. Due to its larger size, some might find the Pro less "fiddly" than the i1R 2, if you're the sort of person who finds some things a bit fiddly or awkward. Charging: While charge cables are provided for both torches, the Pro is charged via USB-C, and the i1R 2 by USB-Micro. Weight: The Pro weighs 0.75oz, the i1R 2 weighs 0.50oz. For comparison, an Amazon rechargeable AA battery weighs 0.95oz. Output: I've uploaded a photo of the two torches side by side on full brightness. The distance from torch to ceiling was approximately 4ft, and the ceiling tiles are 1ft wide. As you can see in the picture, the Pro is slightly brighter than the i1R 2, but when I was taking the picture, there really didn't seem to be much difference in brightness. The low light function seemed much the same for both. Summary: I've bought 3 Olight i1R 2 torches and they are excellent. Two of them have lived unobtrusively on keyrings, not getting in the way but getting battered by my keys, and working on demand. The third, used for this review, was bought when it was on offer on Amazon. i1R 2. Battery life has never been an issue; I never need to charge them, as they are an emergency torch for occasional use and they seem to go on and on for every with occasional use. The i1R 2 Pro is new to me. It offers a little more light and longer battery life but at the penalty of a larger size, 50% extra weight and a higher purchase price. I started this review fully intending to tell you how great the Pro is, how much brighter than the standard i1R 2 it is, and how, for just a few more pounds, you could have a far superior torch. But having tested them side by side, I honestly can't think of a reason to buy the Pro in favour of the standard i1R 2, unless you have a strong preference for USB-C charging. Now I have bought the Pro, I can tell you that I won't be taking an i1R 2 off my keyring to replace it with the Pro, as it will be noticeably bigger and heavier on my keyring. The Olight i1R 2 Pro is a great little torch, but the Olight i1R 2 is smaller, lighter and gives nearly the same light output, though for a shorter duration, which makes it the ideal for use on a keyring. Whatever you decide, hopefully I've given you enough information on both to make an informed buying choice.

Excellent tiny keychain flashlight, even smaller than an AA battery. It twists on and off easily, and the two brightness levels provide great coverage with a clean, bright white beam. Rechargeable with the included cable, making it incredibly convenient.
