Product Description

The size of a small Tootsie Roll, the Maratac Peanut LED Lighter is small enough to easily conceal in a pocket, but bright enough for most everyday needs. This version features a knurled body and head for a better grip, buttery smooth travel threads, and most importantly, a brand-new LED and orange peel reflector for better visibility Read More

The "video demo" on the overview page is for rev 1, but the drop is now for rev 2. Rev 2 is quite different, as the charger has been permanently integrated into the flashlight body. Here's a rev 2 video from the manufacturer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCA05uocd8Q

I bought one of these from County Comm about 6 months ago and the head screwed off, from regular daily use keeping it on my key chain, in about two weeks. I would not recommend this light for this reason.

jarcampI'm with you, the last time MD had this light I bought it and before I had it two months (but after one so MD won't support it) it stopped working properly.

jarcampPutting a bit of plumbers Teflon tape around the threads should prevent this from happening in the future. I have the Brass one but keep it at my desk so haven't lost anything yet.

24€ shipping to Europe is really far too much, sorry.

$77.24 USD = $101.33 CAD. Not much of a deal at all.

Great light but........ if you carry it on your key chain.... from bumping around the the head eventually starts to unscrew downwards and falls off losing it somewhere in the street. Mine fell off a week ago. I own the stainless one and I owned the copper one until the head unscrewed and fell off. The only way to have good retention of the head on the threads is to find/use a thick thread lubricant. Great lights though, good milling unlike Jet Beam. The light is cheaper on CountyComm's web site if you leave it in the cart for 24-72 hours you get a 10% off code and additionally you can use your points accrued from previous purchases.

I still have the stainless one which is on the spare key chain, .... I carried the copper one daily. Can't tighten these down too much or the light comes on, can't keep them too loose either. I used Jet Beams 'silicone grease' on the copper one which unfortunately may be good on a standard size light but too thin on these type of little lights/threads. I really liked the copper one, won't purchase another.

silverspurr59This happened to me as well. Great light but the head will probably fall off.

More than 20 € shipping to Europe for an item of this size is (still) ridiculous! A shame.

Ridiculously bright for something this size, and even the low mode is enough to light up the bathroom for whatever business needs to be done. It only really feels solid when it is screwed together without the battery. Battery in, it must be unscrewed an annoying amount to remain off. That is, it has some thread wiggle.. okay, only when I'm fidgeting with it, but it does make me feel like moisture and dirt might maybe somehow get past the o-ring, or the head might work its way completely off. Also, the inner threads on my copper peanut are slightly damaged in one spot, but I'll chalk that up to bleary-eyed Mondays and rushed Fridays at the factory. I just added another o-ring (nice that the machining allows for this), and now it feels properly snug and gives me peace of mind regarding dust and water intrusion. I'll probably end up trying to modify it so that it is almost completely screwed tight in high mode, making the gap much smaller in the off position. Any ideas?

Shipping is killing this. How on earth can you charge that much for shipping for such a small package?

Ah. Is that the reason. Thanks! Still, I'd buy this in a heartbeat if the shipping was lowered. Its a common battery so.i wouldn't mind it being shipped without battery

NoldirTotally agree, they should have anticipated this issue and made the battery an optional addon

It’s definitely cute. But I’m concerned about the practicality of a secondary unit that could get lost or misplaced. It seems to be more of a novelty light.
For keychain lights my wife and I prefer the Olight i3E EOS. Yeah, I know, 90 lumens. But it’s a keychain light. You’re not going to do Search & Rescue with it.
