This little light is a keyring style flashlight styled on a handheld one. The lithium cells are sealed inside making it a disposable item, but the use of a momentary switch means it really is just a short use flashlight better suited to keeping as an emergency light in things like cupboards or stuck to distribution boards with the built in magnet. The heat sealed case suggests it's probably waterproof too.

Glad you have cleared up the button cell code numbers for me. I always thought they signified voltage or something. Much more mundane though!
I have one it is fantastic. Being a woman is helps me emergency situations.
Environmentally VERY unsound! Should be banned.
Ever Ready made a disposable torch called a snaplite in the 1940s, it used two zinc carbon batteries in series in a sealed metal case, in later years Woolworths did one an a French company Saft also made such an item, they used bulbs, you could salvage the bulb an the switch but that was about it, just goes to show this is not a new concept but in those days the throw away society was not as big as it is now, a good example of this is when a cheap TV set goes wrong an the part costs more than the set is worth, cheaper to buy new but in the 70s TV sets were expensive, more so when colour came out so you got it repaired, not so nowadays with some things. It's a shame those use once gadgets with lithium batteries get thrown because they can't be recharged yet contain a rechargeable battery.
Omg Dollar Tree sells these called "Thin LED Flashlights". I bought one.
The only bad thing i got to say is the LEDs do not last. One of the white LEDs has started blinking >.>
with those parts you could have made little "graffiti LEDs", tape the LEDs on the batteries so they're always on, and also tape on the magnet. then throw the whole thing onto a high place like a building and it will stick 🙂 there are videos of people doing this with dozens or hundreds of them. easy and cheap to make.
I wonder if a qi re-charging version would be possible.
You Americans call these FLASHLIGHT because the very first ones used carbon filament bulbs which took much current and the batteries couln’t give current enough for long time and you had to flash the light for a while and then wait for the next flash. We call them torch here in Europe. Anyway that’s an awful invention. Perhaps the factory has much used or bad batteries for these on stock and using them in short intervals can give you a reasonable amount of light for few seconds.
I'm gonna guess lithium 🔋
Nope, I'm wrong again lol
I just love all the comments about how this useful disposable item is killing the planet, while the tons of other worthless plastic that goes into other things like packaging is completely fine, apparently. Just because it has two LEDs and a battery doesn't mean it's valuable or harmful to toss out.
I say, what a handy gadget to stick on top of the fusebox! Whether you're resetting an MCB, RCD or rewiring a conventional fuse, you'll always have a light to hand! – Would have been more useful if the switch was closer to the 'base end' of the flash-light, so that you could work it with your teeth.
I'm rewatching this video…and I remember seeing these in poundland the day you released this video lol
strange that a white led can run on 6v ? with no limiter
