No Buttons, Nothing to Press by Accident
The Imini 2 turns on when you pull the body away from its magnetic cap, and off when you put it back. There is no switch to get pressed in a pocket, and nothing to learn. It is the light to give someone who will never read a manual, and it has 4.7 stars from 9,697 ratings, the most of any light we compared.
Charging Without a Cable
There is an integrated USB plug at the tail. Plug it straight into a USB adapter and Olight says it is fully charged within 60 minutes, no cable needed. Olight asks that you keep the USB port covered when not charging.
Small, Light and Magnetic
It is 55 mm long and 19.5 g (0.69 oz), with a 6061 aluminum body rated for a 1.5 m drop. A magnetic base lets it stick to any iron surface for hands-free use.
Limitations and Compromises
The big compromise is output: a single 50-lumen mode with 21 m of throw and an 80-degree wide beam. That is plenty for a keyhole, a purse or a dark parking garage, but it is far below the 650-lumen picks. Olight lists it as weatherproof without an IP rating. Because the cap is the switch, it stays on until you put the cap back.
Who Should Buy It?
- You want the simplest possible light
- You hate lights that switch on in your pocket
- You want to charge without a cable
- You only need light for close-up tasks
Look elsewhere if you need real brightness (the RovyVon or ThruNite at 650 lumens), a published water rating (the Fenix E03R v2.0 or Nitecore TIKI), or long throw (the Nitecore T4K).
SoftPickr Verdict
The Olight Imini 2 scores 8.0/10. It is the easiest keychain flashlight to use and to charge, and the most popular. Buy it for simplicity, not brightness. Prices on Amazon move; the figure in this review was $19.99 at the time of writing and the live listing is the only accurate source.
