Anyone have any experience with Nextorch? Like the look of this

Looks nice! Runtime is not too bad cosidering the 15 lumen output.

No experience with them but it does look an interesting little light.

That's bit too punchy to be a good key ring torch for me

I prefer my key ring lights to have about 7-10 lumens so they work well indoors, or up close to the thing I want illuminated without blinding me

I used to edc an ITP and a L04, but they we're just too powerful on the initial light settings I much happier with the performance of the E01 and Arc P

makes sense, but you dont get the same light sabre effect

That's what the Ld20's for

Mike.. the Arc-P & the E01 are both great for EDC. No problem with either of them from me. I could be wrong here but, a mere 5 lumens extra might not really be a big wuff. It really depends on what comes out the front & could be less than 15 lumens...who knows?

True

But the runtime is just too low to be useful to me anyway (tree hugger here )

It's only bloody 15 lumens!    When I saw your comment I was expecting over double that. 

"They" say that to notice an increase in brightness one has to double the lumen output, so a 5 lumen increase on top of your range will be next to nothing.

That may well be true, but it's still overkill for me, and has the knock on effect of reducing the runtime

Atm, i have a Nano on there, I was thinking of this for a back up or something. May do well for keyring duty.

I'd still be inclined to get an Fenix E01 instead

I would not trust the keyring attachment on that Nextorch.

Good point

I'd forgotten how awful they are
