The compromises in having a kit so small are sometimes hard. But I’ve learned from experience if the kit is too big, sometimes you are kore likely to leave behind.
Oh, this is purely for my trouser pockets... or if they're too stuffed, hanging off a belt loop with the Grimlock clip.
I have a far bigger one with CAT tourniquet, Israeli bandages, blast dressings and all sorts of gubbins, but that lives on my backpack.
I o like those Cyalume light sticks. I’ve never seen ones so small. I didn’t add a torch because I almost always have one on me.
I always have at least two torches on me, because one gets used every day for everyone I encounter, while the spare is for me alone and is there in case I use the main one up.
But this being an emergency kit, having a dedicated torch that barely takes up any space is only ever an advantage.
The glow sticks are often sold as for attaching to fishing floats etc., I've found that it can take a little trial and error to find a good brand but they're pretty cheap 
Mine were from a military source, but you can get the same ones on eBay easily enough and often in different colours. Expect about £1.50 each, or less if you buy a box of them. +
