## Description

OLIGHT I1R 2 Pro Eos 180 Lumens EDC Rechargeable Keychain Flashlight, Powered by Built-in Rechargeable Battery with Type-C USB Cable, Slim Mini Handheld Light for Everyday Carry (Black) - desertcart.com

Review: Perfect EDC Keychain Flashlight - I first learned about these lights from Chris Boden’s YouTube channel, and they have proven to be excellent portable flashlights. The high and low modes are genuinely useful, with enough brightness to clearly see what you’re doing. They are extremely compact, about the size of an AA battery, and fit perfectly on a keychain or clipped to a bag. The construction feels very durable and well-made without adding unnecessary weight. USB-C recharging is convenient and fast. Overall, this has been a great purchase.
Review: Finally, a keychain light that doesn't turn on in my pocket - Keychain flashlights are really handy tools to always have with you. However, my last two models have had the problem of turning themselves on in my pocket and then when I need to use them, the batter is dead or almost dead. My last one was a high quality Fenix 03R (not V 2.0). It has 4 brightness levels where the lowest has a very long runtime and the the highest was very bright. It also had a separate red light with one brightness level and a flashing function. The button was perfectly flush with the body and it charged via USB-C. If it wasn't always dead it would've been the ideal keychain flashlight. It was very good and very useful when it was working. However, almost every time I took it out to use it wouldn't turn on or would flash twice (indicating low battery) and then turn off. It had a lockout function, but I never go into the habit of using the lock-out function and then unlocking it every time I needed to use it. It would've been annoying too. This light is worse in terms in features. Only 2 settings. The low setting is very low, but lasts long at least. The highest setting isn't nearly as high as the Fenix light, but good enough. I'm glad it charges via USB-C since I'm trying to switch all of my devices to use that (note that the front of the light partially blocks the USB port so you have to get it in, watch for the charging light to come on and then don't touch it or it will come out just a tiny bit and not charge, the included charging cable is slimmer than most so it doesn't cause as much of a problem, but if your cables are fat at the end you won't be able to get it in far enough to initiate charging). But the thing that is most important is that it is ready to go when I need it. The best flashlight in the world is still useless if it is always discharged. To turn this light on you need to push the head in and twist it a few turns for the weak light, then twist it a turn and a half or 2 to get it in to high output mode. This isn't something that can accidentally happen in my pocket, so I am happy. If there was a light that activates like this, but comes with the robust feature set of the Fenix I would be in heaven, but this is what I want and is good enough for me.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this the same as the i1r2 pro just with a different exterior pattern?**
A: Hi yes, the specs are the same, and the exterior pattern is different.

**Q: Hello, is there a way to keep the paint from coming off ? I order mine a couple months ago and its already fading away**
A: I've had mine since December,and while there are a few tiny nicks, it looks just fine.  Mine lives on my keychain, but I do keep it between a plastic electronic key and my mini swiss army knife, to minimize contact with the keys.  If yours is on your keychain you could remove it, but that would probably defeat the purpose of having it there. Short of putting it in a rubber container (which would prevent easy access when you need it)  you may just have to live with the wear.

**Q: What is the total lifetime of the battery in terms of how many charge cycles?**
A: The capacity will drop after 300 cycles of charging, thanks!

**Q: Can this be used while charging?  Like if it runs low can I plug it into a USB battery and use it while it is charging?**
A: No, it will not be used while charging, thank you!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Olight I1R 2 Pro Eos Keychain Flashlight Review
*by T***R on October 1, 2025*

TLDR; Exceptional brightness and ultimate convenience in a minuscule package. The 180-lumen output and USB-C charging make it the best ultra-compact light for a keyring or pocket. I purchased the Olight I1R 2 Pro Eos because I was tired of fumbling for my keys or looking for things under the couch with my phone's weak, flood-style light. I wanted a true, dedicated light source that was so small and light I would forget it was on my keychain until I needed it. The move to USB-C charging on this "Pro" version was the final push, as it matches all my other modern EDC gear. The performance of the I1R 2 Pro is astonishing given its size. Pumping out 180 lumens on High mode, this tiny torch throws a surprisingly focused beam (up to 48 meters) that absolutely obliterates a smartphone's flash for finding a dropped item or navigating a dark pathway. The default Low mode of 5 lumens, which activates first with a gentle twist of the head, is perfectly calibrated for close-up tasks like finding a keyhole or reading a map in the dark without destroying your night vision. Switching between the two modes is simple: a slight twist for Low, and a full twist for High. The head is "captive," meaning it unscrews to reveal the USB-C port for charging but does not detach, eliminating the risk of losing the head—a massive improvement over previous designs. Charging is fast—about 100 minutes—and the upgrade to the modern USB-C standard is a massive win for compatibility and convenience. The integrated 130mAh battery provides up to 12 hours of use on Low, which is more than enough for intermittent keychain use. Its durability is also noteworthy, with an IPX8 waterproof rating and robust aluminum construction that shrugs off being constantly jingled with keys. Pros and Cons Pros 180-lumen maximum output is exceptionally bright for a keychain light. Modern and convenient USB-C charging port. Extremely compact and lightweight (only 22g / 0.78oz). Simple and intuitive twist operation with two useful modes. IPX8 waterproof rating provides high durability. Cons High mode runtime is brief (23 minutes before stepping down) due to the tiny battery. The "Cool White" LED tint could have better color rendition (CRI). Built-in battery is not user-replaceable. Verdict The Olight I1R 2 Pro Eos is, without question, the best keychain flashlight available at its price point. It successfully bridges the gap between ultra-portability and true utility. It is best for the everyday carrier who wants a genuine, high-power light source always available, not just a novelty. If your primary need is quick, powerful illumination for brief moments throughout the day, the I1R 2 Pro's high output and easy USB-C recharge make it an essential and highly recommended addition to any EDC setup.
