Black Diamond Ion Keychain Light

Handy little flashlight when out with the doggies.

Got one to keep, one to gift

I was really confused when I received this light. There was a plastic battery isolation part that didn’t want to pull out. There was a recessed slider switch between a lock and in-lock symbols that didn’t want to move. There were graphic instructions that communicated poorly. Only after accidentally twisting the body did I discover that was the key! The key to remove the battery insulation and to what the lock and unlock symbols really mean. The slider switch isn’t a switch at all. It is an indicator! If you consider the lens end the bottom and the opposite end with the lanyard the top if you twist the top one quarter turn the top comes loose enough to remove the insulator piece. At that quarter turn point gently pulling the top off accesses the batteries for replacement. Turning the top a half turn unlocks the flashlight and turns on the light. When unlocked the switch on the side then works. Once all this is understood the graphic instructions become clear. The light is really great. The light brightness is ample for its size. The switch turns it on and off and when held down dims the light. Turning the top a half turn clockwise locks the light from accidentally turning on and it resets the light brightness. The lanyard and clip make it easy to keep it handy and secure. I recommend this light!

You know that thing you didn't know you needed until you got it? This is one of those. Awesome, simple, bright. I bought 2.

Carabiner, a flashlight, and the color orange! A winner

C’est très bien pensé pour le laisser allumer et éviter les allumage accidentel. Pratique dans le porte clé.

It's good to hang on the shoulder strap of a backpack

Smaller than I expected, but looks nice on a backpack. Nice light.
