Description
This clip light gives 30 lumens from its LED, and the whole unit is small enough to close a hand around. The front carries a lens with two emitters behind it, and a single switch sits on the top edge; the pack states three modes, marked as icons rather than named in words. The pack is also printed with IPX4, so the light is rated against splashing water, and two CR2032 lithium cells are supplied with it, which means it works the moment it comes off the card.
A wearable light earns its place when both hands are busy. Clip it to a jacket collar for the last stretch of a dog walk, to a rucksack strap on an early start, to a belt while you are under the sink with a spanner, or to a bag so you can be seen from the side on the ride home. It is also worth keeping in a glovebox or a coat pocket for the walk from the car to the door. Because it clips rather than needing to be held, it suits anyone who finds a hand torch awkward, and it is light enough for a child to wear on the way to an evening club.
The bright green body is easier to spot in a dark bag or a cluttered drawer than a black one would be. CR2032 cells are the flat coin type sold in most supermarkets, so replacements cost little, and since two are supplied there is nothing else to buy first. No runtime figure is printed on the pack, so if you use it often, keep a spare pair of cells alongside it.

Frequently Asked
What batteries does it take, and are they included?
It runs on two CR2032 lithium coin cells, and the pack states that both are supplied, so nothing else is needed to start using it.
How bright is 30 lumens in practice?
Enough to light a footpath a few paces ahead or the inside of a cupboard, rather than throw a long beam down a field.
Can I use it in the rain?
The pack is printed with IPX4, which covers splashing water from any direction. The X means dust resistance was not tested, so we would not call it sealed.
How long will it run on one set of cells?
No runtime, colour temperature, dimming detail or wattage equivalence is printed on this pack or given in the specification, so we cannot quote a figure for any of them.
What are the three modes?
The pack states three modes and marks them with icons rather than naming them, so we do not list what each one does.
Where can I clip it?
Anywhere with an edge a clip can grip: a collar, a cap peak, a rucksack strap, a belt or a pocket lip.
