thoughts on the new KC1 from Hank? (sh.itjust.works)

I have mixed feelings. I'm glad he finally brought us a super small form factor light. But at the same time, it is kind of a let down as far as performance goes. It should have been a luxury rovyvon but it is more like a dollar store Keychain light at first glance.

Is anyone here considering it as their next investment?

I don't like single-mode lights because it always seems like it's the wrong single mode for what I'm doing with it. I'm also not a fan of bulk on my keychain, so if I'm putting a flashlight there, I want it to be smaller than this.

I didn't even realize it was single mode... it almost gives me complete dollar store vibes.

I think I see what Hank is going for; it's not going to be the target market's main flashlight, but a spare on a keychain. It's also a price that will push some discounted lights over the free shipping threshold.

Ohhhh, if that's the case I'll take it if I ever get into that situation.
