Nitecore TINI 2 (Tini2) Keyring Torch 500 Lumens USB C Rechargeable Torch with OLED Display

Product Information

If that’s not enough, the TINI 2 just looks straight-up industrial. The way the OLED display, the two buttons, and the charging port are square give it that industrial aesthetic. Topped off with those metal screws we mentioned earlier, the TINI 2 definitely looks more tool than toy.

We found the TINI2 has a longer battery life between charges than the original TINI in day to day use, even though the manual indicates it is the same or lower than the original TINI.

This small Nitecore keychain flashlight is about 2.5x the price of the AAA Lumintop EDC01, but as noted, this flashlight is crazy bright and small. Under the OLED display there are the two electronic switches with which we will manage the TINI2. The two switches are not protruding, but are placed in a recess I think for greater protection against accidental activations. No problem finding the two switches in the dark. As can be seen from the symbols above these, one has an ON / OFF function (Power Switch) and with the other we will vary the 4 levels available beyond the momentary Turbo (Mode Switch). The flashlight is sealed and tightened down with 6 screws from factory – disassembly is not recommended. Switching ON and OFF is done by the electronic switches on the side of the flashlight. There is momentary activation (MOMENTARY TURBO) using the MODE switch. Normal Operation Some pictures have been adjusted slightly to depict as close as to what is seen in real life. The distance of the light from the door is 4.6m.

While it’s a bit larger than other keychain lights in their stable, for example, the TIKI, it’s still suitably small to carry on a keychain, and the weight is low enough to not really notice it.Note: The battery life is short if you run it at “turbo” mode, just like the original TINI. In the lower 200 lumen mode, it is still bright enough to easily see in a completely dark room with this tiny keychain flashlight. Conclusion When finished, tap the power button to turn the light off. This will memorize the “last mode” you had selected. It has a small OLED display so you can see the modes. The small form factor with 500 lumens burst (MOMENTARY TURBO) output, informative OLED display, and direct access to MOMENTARY TURBO and ULTRA-LOW are all plus points for this flashlight. The built-in battery might seem as a major disadvantage to some but it helps decreases the overall size of the flashlight, when compared with other 14500, 18350 or CR123A flashlights.
