This device measures just 2.17 x 0.59 inches and weighs only 0.69 ounces, making it small enough to fit in the palm of a hand or attach to a keychain. Its aluminum alloy body can withstand drops from up to five feet, and its IPX6 rating protects it against water splashes and rain.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Designed for practical use in tight spaces, such as inside small form factor computer cases, the flashlight features an 80-degree beam angle that reaches about 23 yards. It offers 50 lumens of brightness with 115 candela of output. The device has no buttons to prevent accidental activation; instead, users must detach it from its magnetic cap to turn it on. This magnetic base allows the flashlight to attach to metal surfaces like computer cases or car hoods for hands-free lighting.<\/p>\n<p>Powering the imini 2 is a 10180 lithium battery with an 80 mAh capacity, which provides up to 60 hours of continuous use on a single charge. Charging is handled through a built-in USB-A port that connects directly to laptops, power banks, or wall chargers without needing a separate cable. The USB plug is rated for 10,000 cycles, ensuring long-term durability. At the current price point, the device is marketed as a reliable tool for DIY projects and general illumination tasks.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top:2em; padding:1em; border-left:4px solid #0073aa; background:#f5f7fa;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;\"><strong>Source:<\/strong> Tom&#8217;s Hardware &bull;  Zhiye Liu  &bull; October 7, 2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0.5em 0 0;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomshardware.com\/pc-components\/the-usd12-edc-flashlight-every-pc-builder-wishes-they-bought-sooner-this-tiny-lifesaver-is-40-percent-off-and-worth-every-penny\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read the original article at Tom&#8217;s Hardware &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AI-rewritten: This is a summary of an article from Tom&#8217;s Hardware, rewritten by AI (Qwen, running locally) to make it easier to read.
