I can't believe the 55 hour run time is for the full 720 lumens. The copy should include the full specs including the available different operating modes so that we can make a more informed buying decision. I know Drop just hired new copywriters; they might work more on briefing them better.

MikeegeNitecore states the following runtimes at https://flashlight.nitecore.com/product/tip2 : 720lm for 15min, 200lm for 1h15min, 30lm for 8h, or 1lm for 55h. My experience with Nitecore products in general leads me to think that these claims are accurate.

Another one with Micro-USB, when will they stop manufacturing them? Gimme USB-C, dang it.

I have one that I didn’t get from Drop. It’s feels very well-made in the hand, the magnetic detachable tail is very well-engineered in that it will only come off with a hard straight pull, any angle to the pull and it stays on. The beam is great and mode spacing is excellent. The clip seems fine. What I do not like is how long the power button needs to be pressed to turn it on — this feature is aggravating and not configurable.

DerpternlinsonI understand that's its purpose, but it's too aggravating for me to like. The clip recesses the power button well enough that I doubt it would be an issue.

I can’t write an actual review here because I purchased mine elsewhere, but for a $30ish dollar light, I would pretty easily give this one five stars. It’s small, simple, reliable and pretty powerful given its diminutive size. The pocket clip works well and the keychain attachment is even better. The UI is dead simple with output levels that are well spaced.
Most of the issues described as “cons” in other reviews, I would tend to characterize as acceptable compromises necessary to maintain the small form factor and high output. Sure, a replaceable battery would be nice, but it would also likely decrease charge capacity, and/or require the light to be bigger. It would also render the light less waterproof, or necessitate more engineering and expense to maintain the current level of waterproofness. Having to hold the button for a couple seconds to activate the light is a little bit of a hassle, but it protects well against accidental activations.
I have many small EDC type lights, but for one that I actually feel comfortable using and abusing, this has moved to the head of the class.

If it’s going to be advertised as a “Keychain Light” then include photos of it on a keychain! Where’s the attachment? And while we’re at it, why no photos of the backside showing the charging port? Full disclosure please.

glennacThe keychain attachment is actually very well thought out. The light is retained by it very snugly. I much prefer it to the plastic pocket clip. Once the light is removed from the keychain attachment, there are two strong, square magnets embedded flush with the tail. In between the two magnets is the micro USB charging port.

I really want a TIP and a TUP for my EDC options, but I'm just waiting for them to release a USB-C version. Otherwise they seem like perfect lights for my EDC setup

All electronics (particularly occasional-use devices like flashlights) should use readily available/swappable battery standards. You can choose to use rechargeables in common battery types but you can also swap batteries and be functioning again immediately if your battery is dead.
Why don't engineers understand the principles of internal batteries destroying the ability to be immediately usable at all times, regardless of whether you've charged it or used it for a few months? It also shortens the useful life of the device because many aren't easily serviceable/replaceable by non-technical users so the just throw them away. There is nothing green or renewable about that. It's stupid.
Design products that support AA AAA C D 9v CR123A etc and stop with the e-wasteful internal rechargeable battery practices.
Please pass this message on. Only you can stop poorly thought out products and short sighted engineering.

For items commonly available on Amazon, you pay-n-pray here on Drop. I even forgot that I ordered this flashlight. Drop is no longer what Massdrop used to be.
