Description of Eon Ice Everlasting LED Card Flashlight, Black
Eon Ice is the Everlasting Flashlight! No batteries to buy, no bulbs to blowTools and Hardware Reviews of Eon Ice Everlasting LED Card Flashlight, Black
Customer Review: Little Mighty Light
Summary: 5 Stars
Brightness issue:
This little pack gives off surprisingly bright light, considering its size.
Ease of Use:
Note that this type of credid-card size flashlights don't have a switch that keeps the light on constantly. This means you will have to manually keep it pressed if you want the light to stay on. And this could be tiring after a while, particularly one is likely to use in emegency and need to save energy and effort focusing on other things. However, this particular plastic exterior requires a lot less muscular energy to keep it pressed, in comparison to another more expensive design that uses metallic casing.
Battery issue:
As far as I can see, this thing is not designed to be taken apart. The plastic casing is translucent and it reveals 3 lithium-like batteries inside. I suppose the claim by Eon that this can be used for 5-10 years is true, since I bought several with metalic casing 3-4 years ago and they are still working. However, I didn't use them often enough and long enough to really see how long they are good for in continuous use (muscle gets tired pressing metallic case).
You can get very cheap ones (around $5) that look like EON's, but they usually say it lasts 5 years, with 1-hour of continuous use. That definitely looks bad in comparison to this one, which claims a 168 hour use. Maybe Consumer Reports could test this out.
Portability
You can put this in your pocket easily. And if your wallet is not too stuffed, you can even put it in there.
