The surefire sidekick light is made up of a weatherproof polymer body.

Technical Features of the SureFire Sidekick Keychain light Features If you believe in quality, then this is the best compact keychain light for you. The SureFire Sidekick light maximum brightness is 300 lumens, 3 modes, micro-usb charging option, a split ring for attaching keys and a lot more advanced features. This is a keychain type flashlight that provides bright light and can be useful in an emergency like when your car tire gets a puncture or when there is a blackout. In this SureFire Sidekick review post, we will look at the everyday carry surefire sidekick ultra-compact keychain light. They have different types of light with different uses.

I don't use this little Sidekick hooker not because it's no good but I have lot of all kinds of lanyards around the house like the one on my sidekick.Since the Surefire brand came into existence, it has always created quality products and cemented its image in the industry as one of the top tactical flashlight brands. It also comes with a little key hooked that you can hook the sidekick to your rings or your jacket. It includes in the package a 5 inch micro usb cable for plugin computer charger but I do not need it because it can be charged with my smartphone charger without any problems. Like my other 300 lumens titan this sidekick also has a deep faceted reflector and a wide maxiVison beam which can be shinning up your whole darken room at night without glare to your eyes when sudden on a hi setting in the darkness. Then test the light and now you have the 300 lumens comes first and the 5 lumens comes after. You'll see the sidekick flashing(that means it's charging).Press the power button three times from low to hi while the led is flashing to change it to the hi output then wait for five seconds and turn the light off and unplug the sidekick. First turn on,the sidekick will go from low-med-to hi that is the factory setting and you may reverse that setting by first turn the sidekick off, plug the power supply into the outlet then plug the power metal connector to the surefire. Push the button to turn the light on, low(5lumens)45hrs,medium(60lumens)4hrs and hi(300lumens)can be on up to 1h 15min. I think the company did it on purpose to prevent it from accidentally turn on when carry it in your tigh jean like other brand did.

The power button is somehow hard to push on/off even though it has a firm snub rubber push on off right on the front side above the surefire logo. It fits on most of our human hands with it size.

With a size of a key fob and a polymer outer strong body(stronger than my 360 lumens Nitecore Tip). Take a chance on the black Friday sale from Surefire I bought a punch of these surefires sidekicks for use around the house and give some to relatives and friends. For EDC on hi lumens flashlight,I choose Surefire on the outdoor which never let me down. I've owned a dozen surefire flashlights over the years include countless of other LED brand Flashlights. The Sidekick was washed off and worked brilliantly, and has remained perfect!!! Also, so did the Ford 'keyfob'!! The light is an EXCELLENT light !! this light is extremely durable!! While parking and unloading the car, parked by the curb, in the city of Santander, Cantabria - Spain, the Sidekick light, clipped to our car-keys, slipped out of my wifes hand onto the car-seat and then in slow motion off the car door-sill and right into a storm-drain !! After three hours, a visit by the fantastic local fire department fellows, the key-ring and Streamlight Sidekick were RETRIEVED (fished) from deep within a huge, full-of-water, storm drain. but that's a double-edged sword since weak switches will inevitably turn-on in a pocket or luggage and drain themselves, so this is really a positive point in the favor of the Sidekick. The only thing that was a bit inconvenient was the stiff on-off switch. It has plenty of power and will run a very long time without recharging. It is extremely bright with more of a 'spill' type of beam, which works well when walking, working, etc. It is more comfortable and 'carry-able' than a single AA like the Nitecore AA that I carried for years.

It is small and easily carried in a pant or jacket pocket. A long-time traveler of 20+ years, I bought the 'Sidekick' 18 months ago, prior to a trip.
