The Powerlight Mini is a versatile pocket lantern, coming equipped with a bracket for bicycle riders to mount as tail light. It is definitely pocket sized, easy to take anywhere, slip into a pocket in your pants or shirt or most notebook portfolio cases, waist packs, and gear carriers.
The bail design affords "slide-grip" for wearing attached to your shirt pocket or even between buttons of your shirt, but also provides a more traditional stand for setting on a table or night stand.
Dimmable white and red light modes with memory make for setting up for later use so not be blinded with brightness in the middle of the night. The lensing provides an amazingly smooth illumination across the face for lantern mode output. A bright spot mode ("Point") adds a stronger beam for finding things or illuminating a path. Strobe modes for white and red are good for drawing attention, maybe a good choice for use when bicycling.
The primary design goals for this were likely size, performance, and versatility, which BioLite engineers achieved. Surely some would want a brighter max output, and surely some would want a higher capacity battery pack to charge their power hungry SmartPhone, but I can report that the PowerLight Mini's 1350mAH battery and circuitry does initiate standard rate charging for my Samsung Galaxy Note 8, something other products with even hight capacity do not. The 135 Lumens is more than enough white light for most needs, and the brightest red output is bright enough to actually see things at night; The 1350mAH capacity, even when a bit depleted from lantern use, can certainly recharge your SmartWatch and Kindle PageWhite, and should give enough juice to recharge your SmartPhone to make an emergency call.
Maybe as battery tech continues to evolve a PowerLight Mini II may provide even more charge for other than lantern run-time.
