Summary
The Skilhunt MiX-7 Gen 2 is a successful update of the little multi-color flashlight. Finally it delivers what its name suggests and you have the option of mixing the colored LEDs with each other. With the long Plus version you can now use 18650 batteries for a longer runtime.
The UI is still not perfect, but it is an improvement on its predecessor. For example, the UV light is a little hidden to activate. On the other hand, it is not an easy task to design a UI for so many functions with just one button. It would be nice to be able to adjust the brightness of the mixed colors.
1AA is not a keychain light, it’s a pocket utility light. In my case mostly for use around the house, so more lumens is useless. It would be about 2 or 3 hours of runtime.
The famous Arc AAA was designed from the beginning to have 5 hours of runtime if that matters. That came in handy for me during a long power outage some years back.
