The Nitecore TUBE is a tiny USB rechargeable light with infinite variable brightness. An ideal size for keeping on your keys for everyday use.
Nitecore says
The Nitecore Tube is the world's lightest rechargeable flashlight weighing in at only 9.6 grams. Featuring a built in high efficiency Li-ion battery that provides runtimes of up to 55 hours from a single charge via USB-C. No key ring should be without one!
The high performance LED has a maximum output of 55 lumens with infinite variable brightness control. A beam angle of 100 degrees provides a flawless wide beam to illuminate peripheral vision. Maximum beam distance is 25 meters.
Easy one handed control is at your finger tips with a simple and intuitive user interface.
Our Verdict
At 10g, the Nitecore TUBE V2 Tiny USB Rechargeable Light is a small keyring torch that makes most sense as an always-with-you backup. The 55-lumen maximum output is enough for close-range jobs like finding kit, checking a tent, reading labels or walking a short distance around camp, while the 100° flood beam gives a useful spread rather than a narrow spot.
USB-C charging is also handy if you already carry a power bank. It is not a replacement for a proper headtorch, and the small built-in battery limits sustained brightness, but that is not really the point. A good just-in-case item to have on you all the time
