Pinnacle Flashlights introduces the brand new eGear PICO Lite LED keychain flashlight to its line of the world’s finest LED flashlights. In an emergency situation, the ability to see in complete darkness can be a life saver. Pinnacle Flashlights may stock the most durable, brightest and technologically advanced lights on the market, but what good is a tactical light, or any flashlight for that matter, if you don’t have it with you. Here is where the PICO Lite steps in and assumes its place as a piece of essential gear…

This light is INCREDIBLY small and surprisingly bright for a keychain light of its size. Weighing in at just two-tenths of an ounce (0.2 oz!) and less than 1.5 inches in length this little light puts out an amazing 10 lumens up to a distance of 30 feet. Don’t let its size or price fool you, this is not a toy or a throwaway novelty keychain light!

It was originally designed in collaboration with survival equipment authority Doug Ritter. The PICO Lite is constructed of anodized, 6061 aluminum that is then textured by a sandblasting process. It features a simply yet reliable rotary bezel switch that will not accidentally turn on and is water resistant to IPX4 standard. Aggressive knurling thoughtfully placed on the bezel and body provide for easy on/off operation, even with one hand. Included with the PICO Lite is a split-ring with a mini carabineer clip to secure the light to zippers, backpacks, bungees, virtually anywhere easily accessible when you need extra light.

The PICO Lite features a Japanese made Nichia 5mm White LED that puts out 10 lumens. It is powered by four replaceable LR41 alkaline miniature button cell batteries which have a 5-year shelf life. The batteries are held in a cradle that make battery changes at home or in the field simple. It is available in 5 colors (Black, Red, Green, Titanium, and Blue).
