STREAMLIGHT KEYMATE® USB - a great little doodad you’ll forget you have until you need it. By: Sal Palma
Streamlight’s KeyMate® USB is one of those simple little doodads that you’ll forget about until you need it, case in point. I was at the gas station the other day, when I inadvertantly droppped my card which was immediately swallowed by the carseat. My first thought was where the hell did my card go to. As I stumbled around looking for it, I remembered I had the KeyMate with me. I pressed the button which immediately put its 35 lumens, on high, to work lighting up the interstices between the seat and console; helping me locate my card. Fishing it out was a whole other story! Now, for the details.
The light’s key shape and spring-loaded clip allows easy attachment to a key ring, zipper pull on your jacket or backpack. You can even wear it on your person attached to paracord or a chain so it’s always available. I attached it to my key fob where it will remain! Its long run time combined with its USB rechargeability lets you turn it on and leave it on for up to two hours. The light ships with a USB cable and will charge from a battery pack, desktop, laptop computer or your vehicle’s USB port.
Streamlight’s KeyMate is a USB rechargeable light with 3 modes of operation, high, low and flash. The later strobes at the 35 lumen level and is ideal for signaling. On high it provides a 35 lumen flood that’s sufficiently bright to light up a small room reasonably well. On low, its 16 lumens of output is ideal for reading a road map, illuminate ignition and door locks or perform any other task that can be perform more easily with some lighting.
