Ledlenser K1 LED Key Ring Torch

Ordered a small torch and batteries, got a small torch with batteries, whats not to like.

The key ring torch arrived within three days of order and was exactly as described. The torch was competitively priced and included a tracker. The batteries are cheap to buy and easy to replace. Very pleased!

Great light for such a tiny torch, fits on with keys perfectly.

This torch is well made small and light and sheds a good light for its side. The only downside is I would prefer a push switch rather than a twist switch.

Minature torch which works well (to reveal the hole to put the key in!)

A really nice piece of engineering. Does all that it says on the box, with style. Excellent service too. Arrived next day.

Amazing value for money! It's really bright and is smaller than a AAA battery and you don't even notice it on your keys at all! Amazing service! Got delivered the next day! Definitely going to order from torch direct again!

I bought two of these as our back gate is in darkness and trying to put the key in the lock can be a challenge. That is now a thing of the past and this torch is perfect for my needs and fits perfectly on my keyring.

Arrived promptly. Excellent little torches. Exactly what is need for key ring. Good value.

Good value
Solidly built.
The torch is in two sections - The main body is 40mm in length. The end cap is 4mm in length. The main body has a shallow, mainly cosmetic chequering along the lower two thirds. The third which extends to the LED is smooth.

Upside
Very bright for it's compact size. {16Lu} Very good throw, not a lot of spread.
This is a function of the type of LED used because in common with torches of this size, there is no reflector. But for this type of torch, that doesn't matter because you'll be using it for close up work and its very effective from a range of a few inches to 20 or more feet. The spread is still usable though obviously a lot dimmer than the main beam.
I was very impressed by the light output.

Downside:
Activation/deactivation is done by turning the tiny end cap. This means you ideally need two hands (which is silly for a keychain torch). For one hand operation, you'd tightly grip the tiny end cap with your little finger while rotating the main body with your index finger and thumb... Also the main body chequering is not very grippy plus even worse, it extends only two thirds the length of the body. This makes the end third smooth - The very bit which you'd be trying to twist with your finger and thumb!
Other keychain torches I own, have a twisty LED end for activation. Which ergonomically makes more sense.
So to summarise: Two handed operation is fine. One hand operation is poor.

Overall.
A useful torch if you can live with the poor switch ergonomics.

Excellent service from Torch Direct
