![]() The light uses a warm LED, the mode sequence can be switched between L>M>H and H>M>L when charging, and the button looks like it will hold up well. I'm also skeptical of its moisture resistant, as there is no protection for the USB charging port.Īside from the innovative, compact form factor, they did do some things very well, though. I’ve been a fan of Surefire products for a long time decades, in fact. 4 Share Lee’s note: This, I had to share. The SureFire Sidekick light maximum brightness is 300 lumens, 3 modes, micro-usb charging option, a split ring for attaching keys and a lot more advanced features. Product review: Surefire Sidekick Multi-Output LED Keychain Flashlight It's rugged, powerful, built in America and has an MSRP of 29.99. ![]() Granted, this is their first version, but Surefire has made a name for quality and should have done better on their first go-round. This is a keychain type flashlight that provides bright light and can be useful in an emergency like when your car tire gets a puncture or when there is a blackout. Logically, at 10 times the price, one would expect the Surefire Sidekick to do better, but it apparently does not. The Nitecore Tube was a brilliantly-conceived light (and no doubt the inspiration for this light), but it was unusable on all levels but high because of its terrible PWM on any lower level. In my opinion, low-frequency PWM is a terrible sin of LED circuit design and usually the result of using poorer quality circuits. However, it appears to suffer from a serious deficiency - visible PWM on the low setting. Despite my disdain for Surefire and their predatory legal practices, I was tempted by this product. ![]()
