- ✓300 lumens from the main OSRAM P8, which is a lot for the format
- ✓Keyring rated to around 30 kg, with no breakage reports from owners
- ✓Priced competitively for the amount of functionality
- ✓Small and light enough to genuinely live on a keyring
- ✗High plastic content makes it look and feel cheap
- ✗The button and charging port are hard to use with larger fingers
