Reddit mentions of Streamlight 66608 250 Lumen Microstream USB Rechargeable Flashlight with 5" USB Cord Clamshell Packaging, Coyote

Not the guy you're asking but here are my thoughts. There is pretty much no penlight on the market that will do what he wants, and it will be laughably ineffective regardless. If he needs something tiny, get him a Streamlight Stylus USB. That's gonna be about the brightest thing you can get with any ""tactical"" potency.

If you can talk him into a 14500 or 18650 light then he's more likely to get the power he wants. If he can handle having a solid chunk of aluminum on him, the Streamlight ProTac 2L-X and Wowtac A1S BSS v3 are going to be my choices for an inexpensive strobe machine. The Olight M1X Striker is another choice in this general form factor.

Streamlight also makes the ProTac 1L-AA which is a little smaller, but it only puts out 350 lumens.

All the lights I have posited outside the Stylus USB have easy access to the strobe mode, typically a double or triple tap on the tail switch. This is important to my mind because many lights require the light to be on and a button to be held for one second - practically useless and too long to get to if really needed.

I really hope that he does a big long think about what he wants out of this flashlight, and I hope he tries to "stun" himself with his flashlight to see what its like to be on the receiving end. The reaction he has, being prepared for it, is the best he can hope for in any situation in which he uses the strobe against someone. Its not like in the TacLight commercials.

I wrote a couple more of my thoughts on using a flashlight for self defense a little while ago if you find it handy. I personally like having the strobe and I would use it in an emergency situation, but its very important to note its limitations.

Olight AAA or a Streamlight 66608 if you need a clip.

The Nitecore Tube is really cool with it's infinite ramping. I loved mine till I lost it camping. But no pocket clip.

Hadn't seen the RovyVon before not sure how much faith I'd have in the little wire clip but otherwise looks like a solid option.

You have 6 pieces here, two of which are keys. It’s not a keychain in my opinion, it’s a rat’s nest of shit tied together and dangling from the ignition of your car.

Less is more.

Do you use the carabiner to hook the keys on your belt loop? If not, toss it. I would also toss the flashlight and buy one that you can clip onto your pocket.

I just got a streamlight micro-stream. At 250 lumens it’s not super powerful, but it’s usb rechargeable or takes a triple A battery so power isn’t an issue. About as thick as a sharpie marker and maybe has as long, love it so far. I know it comes in a burnt bronzey color

Cheaper option with one mode.

USB option with high/low modes.

I'm just starting to rebuild my light collection since it was decimated by goblins.

I’d like to try a Streamlight micro stream!

The added recharchability would be a nice feature to have so I dont gotta replace batteries.
