Can a stocking stuffer save your life? Streamlight says "yes" with its new Nano Light II, an ultra-compact LED keychain flashlight. If that sounds a little hyperbolic, remember that the point of having an everyday carry rig is that you carry it every day. Furthermore, the firearm is only part of an EDC setup--most defensive experts agree that a flashlight of some kind is an essential part of that strategy. A light that's on your keychain is a light that will always be with you.

Streamlight promises that the Nano Light will offer steady, bright light for one hour of run time, and that it needs only a single AAAA alkaline battery to do so. Measuring just 2.2" long and .5" wide and weighing .6 oz., it fits neatly onto a keychain or zipper pull so you can "set it" and "forget it" until such time as you need it. 

Despite its size, this extremely sturdy light is constructed of machined aircraft-grade aluminum with an anodized black finish. Its white LED is impervious to shock with a 50,000-hour lifetime. Its LED provides 20 lumens, 120 candela, and a beam distance of 22 meters. Designed to provide both convenience and steady light output, the waterproof Nano Light II has a non-rotating snap hook for one-handed operation with an easy twist of the rotating on/off head switch.

“Having a high-performance, reliable flashlight that fits easily on a keychain offers law enforcement, tactical, military personnel and outdoor enthusiasts a perfect light for a wide variety of uses,” said Michael F. Dineen, Streamlight’s Chief Revenue Officer. “It’s an ideal complement to our larger, task-oriented flashlights, while also useful for everyday tasks such as guiding your key into a lock at night, lighting your way in a dark parking lot or when walking the dog after dark.” MSRP $17; Streamlight.com.
