Inova X5 Mini Spotlight: found the one I lost!
I thought I'd lost the one I carry in my back pocket, but I found my Inova X5 Mini Spotlight under my car's driver seat... I really do need to look down there routinely.
I love this thing! It uses the same lithium ion batteries I use in my Surefire 6P and M3 tactical lights, but those batteries last 10 times as long in this unit. This means I can (and do) reserve my 6P solely for its intended use, and the Inova as a utility light. I just now measured mine at 2cm wide by a shade under 12cm long. Drop it in your pocket and forget about it.
And like the ASP Key Defender I reviewed a few weeks ago, it's made of durable machined aircraft aluminum. A bit shorter and thicker than the ASP, the Inova could make a fine little handheld impact weapon.

Im not sure if they are available or even how much they are in the US, but I brought mine based on the specs and cost, and it turns out to be one of the best value torches that outperforms most if not all other flashlights in its range.
