Our Verdict

As it’s name implies, the THUMB is basically a lightweight flashlight that’s the size of an average adults thumb. It has an impressive maximum output of 85 lumens from the high performance LED and is powered by a built-in, rechargeable Li-ion battery.

The compact keyring torch is of a similar design to the popular Nitecore tube but features an innovative head that has a 120º tilt, allowing unusual angles and dead zones to be illuminated. In addition, the flashlight offers both a white and red light which makes it ideal for a range of purposes whilst being light and portable.
