The Astrolux is built tough

It’s not going to break in your pants.

You might not think much about a tiny light, perhaps you have tried a key flashlight before and been bitten with one that just simply does not last the daily keychain grind. With a solid 3 piece steel case Astrolux made the M01 to handle the rough edges of your keys or being  being dropped straight onto concrete.

It’s rainproof..

The cylindrical design makes sealing easy with 2 rubber O rings you don’t need to worry about getting this wet.

Its not going to be dead when u need it.

If a pocket torch could tell a life story it would likely be about being stabbed and scraped around by a nasty set of keys. The life of a pocket keychain torch is not delicate, most of the time it lives in your bag or pocket surrounded by other keys and remotes. With a push button; no matter how recessed or embossed the switch your keys will accidentally hit that on button.  Unless your keys have hands it is unlikely the Astrolux’s firm twist switch will ever accidentally turn on.

It never needs new batteries

Recharging is fast and uses the same cable as your smartphone, just hook it up to your computer or powerbank and it will come back to life.

The two lighting modes

The LED in this torch is not standard white, it’s is a warm white color tone, this creates a more natural look and is not so dazzling to the eye.

torch modes

The first mode is 8 lm and is a very dim light for finding your keys or in environments of complete darkness. The brighter 100 lm mode is for a strong clear beam in both dark and street light environments. The battery life varies considerably from 6.5 hours to 30 mins in full brightness. The high mode is amazingly bright for the size and is still great performance from such a small battery.

What’s included?

Astrolux M01 packaging
The complete package includes a natural style cardboard box.

The minimalist natural style packaging is short and to the point, although it could be smaller as the light only takes up 10% of the box.

Overall thoughts

Its everything you need in a small light with the strength and reliability only solid metal can bring. Chuck it on your keys and you wont have to ever worry when the lights unexpectedly go out.
