A reader’s purchase put this RovyVon Aurora A3 Gen4 LED flashlight on my wishlist.
The A3 looks small but seems big on features, and so I’m thinking many of you will see the same appeal.
This tiny flashlight features a magnetic base, pocket or cap clip, and a lanyard loop, giving users different ways to carry it.

Here’s an image from the product page with a hand for scale. The RovyVon A3 looks small, but perhaps large enough for comfortable use.
It delivers up to 650 lumens of max brightness. There are 4 brightness settings – moonlight, low, medium, and high.
The flashlight features aluminum construction that’s waterproof to IPX6 standards. You can charge it via the on-board USB-C port.
They have the same Aurora A3 Gen4 flashlight in different colors, but this one (gunmetal grey) is least expensive at the time of this posting.
I couldn’t find any info about the runtime. Given the flashlight’s size, I wouldn’t expect it to last very long at max brightness. RovyVon says it’s fully recharged in 70 minutes.

This looks similar in size to the Thrunite Archer Mini – I bought one around Black Friday for $15. It’s very bright for its size and the handful of times I’ve used it outside I was impressed with both the brightness and throw. I did notice that on one extended use it got pretty warm. I like that the clip can be used in a pocket or attached to the brim of a hat.

Different form factor. The Thrunite looks to have an AAA form factor Li-ion battery, which I believe the RovyVon looks too small for.
There are a lot of options at the sub-$20 price point. The ThruNite Ti Pro has an AA battery with USB-Charging for under $14 right now https://www.amazon.com/ThruNite-Pro-Rechargeable-Flashlights-Performance/dp/B0CMWR8DNJ/?tag=toolguyd-20 , and it looks like some of the color options are a little less even. But, that model is a lot larger.
It seems that flashlights have been trending not just smaller, but with different shapes if they don’t need to accommodate a cylindrical-style battery. I found the hybrid shape of this one to be so interesting.

Their T1S is in the same “shorter than AA/AAA” category. Short enough to fit on the cap visor. I like to wear the light under the visor. So close to the eyes it close to wearing surgical headlamps.

I have carried a GITD A5 light on each of my key sets for about 5 years.
Fantastic little lights, insanely bright on momentary full.
