but fenix e01 eo5 are great for small lights and e01 is great for an emergency light (20 hour runtime on AAA)
Thrunite ti is also really nice.
And of course, Sipik 68.
Since you're talkin backups, I added cheapies, but if you're lookin for a high quality light, something like a jetbeam, eagletac, or sunwayman always works nicely.
(About Q's package) Willydigger:

i this eGear pico, i like the size of it and its a find brightness for a keychain. not very fancy or cool but it works. eventually i might want a fancier light but there are things higher on my priority list gear wise
I'm looking for a small light to tag along with these:
The Micro Recon/Shard combo is a handy first-line EDC choice, especially when I want to travel ultra-light, like at a social function where I am unlikely to need a lot of tools. But it should have a light to go along.
I'm posting in Prismatic's thread, because I think our goals are similar.
Any suggestions/ideas?
(I know there is this thing called a "Speck".... :quix:)

What about a ThruNite Ti or a iTP Olight A3 EOS Upgraded? They would match to your shard and the Recon 1...
"Without EDC is wirklich Everything für the Katz!"
Got some dimensions for the Thrunite and the Olight? English measures if possible.
You see, there's this dimensional correspondence ratio that I've noticed: if a piece of gear is too much larger in any dimension than the other gear it sits with, it makes for an awkward package. So what I'm looking for is something roughly the same length and width as the Recon. The Shard is very flat, so it gets away with being a little longer, but the flashlight will have to make up for it's inevitable diameter difference with a shorter overall length.
I know, I could get an Aeon or a Photon, but those don't have the "practicool" aspect that a metal flashlight has.
Right now, the EGear that Ogre posted is looking pretty good, since it provides color contrast to the Shard and knife, but maintains the black and metal theme.
