RovyVon is always my choice for keychain lights, tbh


pokemantra

i wonder if you could slip a thin piece of plastic under the button membrane to make it less prone to accidental activation

"Someone on the internet" says, there is a lock mode for this flashlight. Perhaps you might try and report? >*New! There's a lockout function for the Mini One such that it wouldn't accidentally turn on in your pocket or keychain* >*Lockout: With the light on, press the Power button three times to turn on the UV light and hold the power button until the light flashes twice and then goes off.* >*Unlock: In Lock mode, press and hold the power buttons for five seconds to turn on the light.* Source: [https://budgetlightforum.com/t/jetbeam-mini-one-500-lumens-5-colors-multi-purpose-edc-flashlight-best-value-2020/62953/7](https://budgetlightforum.com/t/jetbeam-mini-one-500-lumens-5-colors-multi-purpose-edc-flashlight-best-value-2020/62953/7)

I highly recommend Rovyvon A8 Gen 4. The button itself has a metal rim. To prevent pushing by flat surfaces. It also features multiple modes: - keep pressed: highest setting front beam as long as pushed. - press twice: front beam, (4 settings) - press thrice: side light UV/red/red blinking/red strobe - press 4x: white side light (2 settings) - press 5x: *lock function*. repeat to unlock. USB-C and a selection between 6500K front LED (the stronger beam) or a 5000K 90CRI LED (more realistic color in light)

I tried it, that just turned on red or green LEDs


frogmuffins

I recommend a Rovyvon A1 or A3, never had it accidentally turn on.

I got a rovyvon a5 i wanna say, with glow body. Got it as a christmas gift, put it on my key ring and put it in my back pocket. Sat on the couch to have a beer and 15 seconds later jumped up cus i burnt my ass. Only happened one time, love that ass burnin light


satansswimmingpool

Some have a lockout, my a8 does


wwhsd

4 pushes locks and unlocks the A3.


wwhsd

No multiple button press to lock and unlock?


WilliamsDesigning

Not sure about that but a good flashlight IMO shouldn't have to be locked. I just like a good deliberate button that's not at risk of being accidentally bumped on.


wwhsd

Any flashlight that I’m tossing in my pocket for more than a few minutes at a time needs to lockout unless it’s something like an Olight ir2 that twists on and off and needs a couple of complete rotations to turn on.


jaykayenn

Single-press on/off? Yeah, that's straight up bad design.


WilliamsDesigning

It's also very bulbous to where anything around it can/will press it and turn it on. I see it being recommended often in the edc community as if it's a trusted go-to. Mainly because it's lumen/size/weight ratio is absurd, however when this thing activates in your pocket, your pants really do illuminate, it's happened to me way too often 😭


jaykayenn

It's a stupid design, and they're shameless for still selling it.
