Bright, tiny & cool, 5 Dec 2010
This review is from: Led Lenser 8313 K3 Key Ring Torch in Gift Box - Black (DIY & Tools)
This is a very bright and useful mini torch. It's lightweight and small which makes its output even more impressive. This item is exceptionally practical and its power to weight ratio is amazing. Build quality is excellent. It is easily suitable to be placed on a key ring. Judging by similar products from this maker, id say this item will survive the many knocks and shocks your keys are subjected to over time. It's handy in a huge number of situations. When you always have this light on your keys, you will find many everyday uses for it. The batteries (4 x button/watch type) give light for a long time. The LED itself should last a lifetime given reasonable use. I can't imagine a traditional bulb lasting like these LED ones do. The focus is one of the best things about this torch. By pushing together/pulling apart to make it shorter/longer you change the focus from spot to flood. I'm used to the twist to focus system so this was an unusual surprise. The spot is good and creates intense light. The flood is cool. Somehow it manages to create an even spread of light within the confines of the flood beam. The flood beam is a near perfect circle. The edge of this circle has a blue line around its entire circumference. There is very little light outside this flood focus circle. It's strange to find light focused into such a clearly defined (blue ringed) area. My first use of this focus was very much a wow moment. I now have three LED Lenser torches (police tech, K3 and another similar key ring version) and I'm very happy with all of them. I gave two police techs for presents last Christmas and I've ordered two of these Led Lenser 8313 K3 Key Ring Torches to give as gifts this year. Overall, this is an exceptional product which I would highly recommend. However, you should bear in mind the wide range of Led Lenser products available. There might be a variation which more suits your needs so look around before buying.

Excellent little torch, 27 Jan 2011
This review is from: Led Lenser 8313 K3 Key Ring Torch in Gift Box - Black (DIY & Tools)
Length:: 0:28 Mins
I have included a short, video demonstration of the Lenser LED 8313 K3 keyring torch. It shows the speed focus system in action on a wall from a distance of between 2-3 metres. The spot-to-flood feature can easily be operated one-handed. The white light from this little torch is amazing; you will be very pleasantly surprised by the powerful beam coming from this small and lightweight torch. It sits comfortably on my key ring, together with my Leatherman Micra and all my keys. The torch is very robust and made from metal; it should withstand all but the most severe of punishments. I dropped mine on a hard floor from about a metre and it wasn't marked or scratched in any way. And yes, it still works! The power switch at the end of the barrel is very tactile indeed and so easy to use. I've been clicking it on and off just for the sheer joy of it. (I obviously need to get out more). The power button can be held and released if you need just a short burst of light, or you can press it in properly (without having to hold it in) for longer periods of light. There is a definite click action and it works very well. The design is such that it won't come on accidentally whilst on your key ring or inside your pocket. When I first saw the key ring attachment, I was concerned that it would not be strong enough to withstand the day-to-day stresses of being attached to my key ring. However, it has proven to be stronger than it looks and I am confident it will stay attached to my key ring through normal, everyday use. For convenient removal, I have attached it using a removable clip so I can easily use it without all my keys dangling from it. The included batteries can be quite fiddly to install. Rather than try to insert the batteries one at a time, I would suggest you pile the batteries up on the table and lower the torch onto them. This is far easier and quicker. The end of the torch screws securely on. One thing Amazon's description fails to point out is the fact that in addition to 4 x AG13 batteries, this torch will also take a single type N battery. (Also known as type 2011, LR1, KN or MN9100). In summary, I would highly recommend this superb little torch. It is small and light enough to be carried on a key ring and for its size and price, it provides a very impressive coverage and intensity of clear, white light. This goes without saying, but I'm going to say it anyway: this is a small, key ring torch that costs under £10. It is not as powerful as the more expensive LED torches. But those torches are far too big and heavy to have on your key ring. Bear that in mind and you won't be at all disappointed.

Very Bright, Focus Is Unbelievable, 21 Sep 2010
This review is from: Led Lenser 8313 K3 Key Ring Torch in Gift Box - Black (DIY & Tools)
I cannot tell you how bright and small this torch is cant wait to take the dog out in the morning with it and try the focusing Wide focusing is a perfect circle with no dim spots and a very neat blue rim round the edge, spot beam is really bright really hope it gets dark quick to test it I read a lot about how good it is but never thought it could light the night (dark bathroom ) the way it does put it this way i would rather use the K3 than my very old outdated mag-light 3d cell just now i put the battery's from my new K3 into my old Led Lenser V2 key finder and its so dull and when i bought that i thought that was bright no no its only good for finding that hidden money under that car seat ha!!! you wont be disappointed believe me do not hesitate to buy it, just look on youtube for reviews I am a massive Led Lenser fan i have the Police Tech Focus, V2 TL-Tactical , T7 , V2 Key Finder , but the K3 is my favorite because its so small and packs so much just Excellent 100/100
