These are the brightest button cell lights ive ever used and you get 10 lights for $8.20 free shipping. I highly recomend these as they are cheaper than the batteries they contain. Here, I have a picture somewhere..

You apparently like LED keychains.

Oh yeah, I like them a lot. For my money there is not better deal for a portable lighting solution. I carry at least one with me at all times on my keychains and use them daily for everything from re-connecting or moving connections behind my home entertainment center, lighting the interior of a computer case im working on, finding something i may have dropped in the movie theater. The little woman uses one to find things in her chaotic mess of a purse.

Oh, I found a cheaper source of the brightest versions of these lights. They are reported to be the same as the ones I got for $1 each. A wholesale site is selling these in 50 piece bags for $20 which makes this an amazing deal.

They are based in Hong Kong and shipping is about $9-10 to US.

I have never ordered from them (but keep meaning to), so I do not know what their shipping is like.
They also have some other neat goodies.

I ordered those last year. There was huge thread on fatwallet about them. The piece that attaches to the keyring broke off of every one I gave my parents.

And they didn't like the Inova ones since the clip comes apart on it's own easily. Mine does too. I've found it on the ground about 5 times now.
I think I'm gonna just get them the 1 AAA flashlights. 🙂

I've tried them all and the ones at Quality China Goods are the brightest and toughest. Their flashlight weapon mount is awesome, very well made though limited in adjustment. Their bycycle light mount is brittle plastic. Most of their other stuff is worth it. I don't know if they are shipping now becuse of the chinese holiday. The ones at Advancemart are $1 each plus shipping and they are based out of CA. I recomend these because they are using a very bright led. If you want a longer running dimmer led for your keychain look elsewhere. These are enough to navigate a dark house by and then some.
 
back to 9.99

meh hopefully qualitychinagoods has good customer service.. i had to cancel my order but they dont seem to letu do that easily on their website. probably cuz they are on holiday. arg
 
got mine. they have black cases.,.look kinda cheap but work. come in a padded envelope. haven't taken it apart yet but i bet it only has a single battery. its dimmer than my inova keychain light which uses two button batteries. though that cost more of course. ok for tossing a few in the car and else where as emergency flashlights i guess.
 
sweet, chinagoods gave me a refund, so iguess their service is pretty good🙂


back to 10.99 at surplus

pic still doesn't match what u get though. its opaque black plastic and shaped different
 
Whatever you do.. dont listen to me. Don't click on my link for the picture of 20 keychian lights I got from ChinaGoods to see for yourself. (poor attempt at sarchasm) They are actually brighter than the original Photon.. I know, I bought an original and just recently swapped out the LED with one from the Fauxton to increase the brightness. Fresh batteries help too. $8.20 shipped.. what more do you need?

hey hey, maybe i order these too. i just wanted to try the first based on a whim. but well the lights are sorta sucky. so how many cells are in the chinagoods ones?
 
Strange.. the mssg box never came up. Server? Anyway I just wanted to say that these lights come with 2 cr2016 3volt Lithiums per light. Others use one cr2032. I think the 2032 has bigger capacity, but doesnt quite meet the minimum voltage for the lights making them dimmer with longer run times.. (who needs that?). The internal resitance of the stacked cr2016 batteries prevents any frying from over voltage of pushing 6 volts through an led rated at 3.2 to 4.5 volts (estimate). Anyway they are the brightest I've seen. Im still trying to make my AAA minimag as bright with 3 rechargable 1.2 volt NIMh batteries and 5mm leds to no avail.
