I'm still not sure why he dislikes the mini so much... I love it, I have plenty of olights and this one has it's place.... connected to my bag! And its actually the perfect amount of light I need for its use!

Your commentary makes it abundantly clear that you don’t understand the purpose of this light. Within the context of its capabilities, it’s one of my favorite lights of all time. It’s well made, bright for its size, light, easy to carry and charge. Think, “Right tool for the job”

I got one for my wife to clip on her keychain. It’s great for her because all she has to do is pull on it. No twisting, no buttons to push, it’s perfect for her.

I use mine for work. I manage AV multimedia equipment and this small light is perfect.

It is portable and I carry it in my badge lanyard. It isn’t super bright (like a handheld flashlight), but it is great for examining equipment in a network/AV rack! And it is always conveniently attached to my lanyard!! It isn’t heavy, so it is almost undetectable (for me) but is always close by.

This ain’t a good handheld flashlight, so it has its purpose. But it works great - been using it for a year and it is solid!

I Carry my mini in my bag. Attached to a zipper pull inside top of the bag to help me find things in low light. 👍

I use the existing clip and attach it to a belt loop by the front pockets. I partially pull on it to illuminate areas in front of me. It's best for up close when you need a little bit of light.

Also if you're going to be comparing light's to each other, best to lock your camera exposure settings, to better accurately show the brightness. That way your camera doesn't automatically adjust to the current lighting exposure

Literally the only person I know that doesn’t like it.

Thanks just bought one. I keep it on my keys.

I don't know why you felt the need to make a 9 minute video, dogging the iMini 2, but I had to give that video a thumbs down. 👎🏻 I have a BUNCH of flashlights and the iMini 2 is my most used light. Granted, my use for it is a bit unique to my situation, but it still has many handy uses. I use it to get my mail at night from a communal mailbox and I attach it to the lock hardware on the backside of the door and it shines right into the mail slot. It's perfect for me and I love it. By the way, the only Olight I've ever returned, is the Oclip. It's definitely not worth $30.

I bought and I got em on my keychains I love it … for the size it’s good and I’d rather hold that than my phone for light

[rtu]

I’ve had mine since it came out, I love it. I could see why you don’t but I also carry two big lights, and I have the I3e I do want to get the Oclip

[MinhHoang-edmb]

I have the mini and love it. Every Olight has its application. I am a surgical nurse and some surgeries require dim lighting. It is not big and bulky and the magnet is a plus when I need to free up my hands and make adjustments to equipment when the room is pretty dark. I am not trying to use this light in a dark forrest. I have other Olights for that.

[walley]

I disagree, but i guess it depends on your usage.... but i bought these for my crew at work last xmas and they all love them. for facility maintenance they are awesome.

[aaronVarchery]

Bro, it’s $20!! Don’t think that should be your reason to complain. The light itself is pretty functional and is definitely worth $20.

i put mine on a necklace so it is always in reach and use it for moments when say i drop something in my car when i go on my 1:00 am lunch break and don't want to blind myself and i tend to find myself when i use it to either stick it my mouth when doing stuff with my hands or attach it to something close by or if i am holding something in my hands like my knife, zippo, pen or even my phone i will attach it to those instead of use my phones light since i wanted a small light to save battery on my phone

[ajantis]

I love my Imini 2 on my keychain every where I go.

A guy doing a review, degrading a simple flashlight while his backyard shed is sitting on broken bricks get absolutely no respect from me.
This imini2 light has its place and it's perfect for that. Perfect to clip on a jacket or vest zipper. Hassle free charging to illuminate well enough for its intended purpose. I 100% love this little fella. Works great. I have many other lights that I use for their intended purpose as well. Would grab this light to run out in a blizzard on a storm work call? No. Or my only light on a weekend back pack trip? No.
It has its purpose and is fantastic for what's its intended for.

Maybe the reviewer should worry more about his foundation than dumping on a simple light😂😅

[bettersteps]

How does anyone expect more than 50 lumens from a keychain flashlight? A keychain light is small and is meant to help in tight quarters. The light is used to look for keys and does this job great. There is nothing wrong with this light. It is fantastic and does the job magnificently.

[tvolpe]

I absolutely love this. I work HVAC and electrical, I can keep it on my key ring and pull it off the magnet and mount it anywhere I need to while I’m doing work.
