Awesome little light Nano Light Miniature Review

I bought a couple of these for stocking stuffers, knowing that I'd be putting one in my own stocking... :-)

The first thing I noticed was that the head turns way to easily. Reading the other reviews confirms that mine wasn't a fluke. Anyway, anybody who does any sort of mechanical work knows about Lok-Tite. Clean the threads, the apply a couple drops of red Lok-Tite on the threads and screw it back together. Once it dries, it creates enough friction on the threads to "fix" the issue of it coming apart on its own.

Other than that - this light is smaller and brighter than I had expected. I have several LED lights, including some high-end Fenix units, and while this light isn't brighter, it still impressed me. The price can't be beat either, and if you buy some high-end replacement batteries on eBay, you'll be set for a long time to come. All in all, this makes an excellent EDC light. Most keychain lights come in black, stainless steel, olive, mossy oak, or some other tactical color. The only exception I have seen are cheaply made consumer grade (i.e. disposable) models sold at mass market retailers. Until now.

The pink Streamlight Nano is exactly like the black Nano, except that its pink. I had the black one on my keychain until I saw this one. I gave the black one to my husband and promptly ordered this one.

It's a very lovely soft pink color, but has the high quality build construction the regular Nano and other Streamlight lights have. Aircraft grade metal, lubricated threads and o-ring, strong clip, and durable finish. This light is also very bright. I removed the SL tag to reduce bulk on my keychain. It's a great tiny and lightweight EDC flashlight, made even better if you like pink. This light is amazingly small and aesthetically pleasing; it's also bright enough for finding a dropped item or finding your way (although it's no substitute for a full-sized flashlight for extended use or lighting larger areas). The clip it comes on is robust and secure.

My only complaint is the problem other reviews have highlighted: the head can come unscrewed in your pocket; it's happened to me several times now: I pull out my keys and I have half a flashlight; fortunately, I haven't lost the head (or any of the batteries, which are each smaller than an M&M candy). Recently, I've started wrapping a piece of tape around the body to keep the head from unscrewing, but this means I can't operate the light without removing or breaking the tape.

I was pleased to see that LR41 batteries are quite inexpensive and available on Amazon for about 15 cents each, in quantity 50 (which is more than I expect I'll ever need, but it's nice to have all my battery needs taken care of for less than $8): 50 LR41 Alkaline Batteries.

Streamlight 73001 Holiday Review And Compare

Can't say anymore about how great this little keychain light is than has already been said, but HERE'S the answer for making this light stay together for you, and NOT come undone on you. Cut yourself about a 4 inch long by about 1/4 to 1/2 inch wide strip of teflon tape. That's the non adhesive type of tape usually in a small plastic round container that plumbers wrap around pipe threads to prevent leaks(white in color). The tape once you cut it should wrap completely around the flashlights threads twice around. This will CURE the flashlight from coming undone on you. :-) Another trick I came up with is for all of you that have trouble loading this flashlight up with batteries. Next time, try this. When you are ready to change the batteries, carefully open the flashlight with the keychain clip facing down. Unscrew the cap (with the led in it), and set to the side. Now take the half with the keychain clip on it, with the old batteries still inside, and place it upside down on a counter top or desk top surface. Next, very carefully lift that half of the flashlight STRAIGHT UP, so that all the batteries are stacked on top of each other. This will now show you the direction in which you will now make a similar stack of batteries with 4 NEW BATTERIES. NOW, place that same half of the flashlight over the stack of new batteries and go STRAIGHT DOWN with it until it is completely over ALL the batteries (now inside the flashlight half). Carefully slide the flashlight half with the batteries inside over to the edge of the counter top or desk top, keeping the flashlight half straight up. Only allow that flashlight part to get just to the edge not past it, and now place your finger by that edge so that you can slide the flashlight half over the edge and onto your your finger. You should now have the flashlight half with the batteries inside and the batteries held in there with your fingertip. Now screw on the other half of the flashlight to it and THERE YA GO!! :-) Hope it all made sense to ya's :-) GREAT little flashlght!!!

I wished I had read the previous reviews more carefully.
On the plus side, it is a nice little compact flash light, solidly made and bright, but it has a design flaw. The "on" mechanism of the flashlight, requires you (to use two hands) to twist and screw/tighten the flashlight. However, if you keep this flashlight in you pockets along with your keys and stuff, I guarantee you that eventually the unit will unscrew itself and all the batteries will fly loose and the unit separates when you pull it out. It has happened to me twice already, and one time I lost one of the four cell batteries and had to buy a replacement battery (they sell as a pack of 10, albeit not too expensive).
