NITECORE TIKI

The Nitecore TIKI is a miniature keychain light weighing just 12 g, yet it puts out up to 300 lm — output comparable to some full-size pocket flashlights. Four brightness levels span from a gentle glow for reading in a tent to a beam strong enough for brief route-finding, though the flood-only beam pattern favours close-range lighting over throwing light down a trail. It also includes a UV LED, handy for checking banknotes or spotting stains, plus a lock mode to prevent accidental activation in a pocket or pack. The built-in battery charges via USB-C, and a 40-hour runtime on the lowest setting combined with IPX6 splash resistance make it a dependable emergency backup. As a companion to a primary headlamp or a standalone light on your keys, the TIKI weighs so little that leaving it behind doesn't meaningfully lighten your pack — it's the kind of always-carry electronics item that fits naturally into an ultralight kit.
