YSMART MQ5X: The Tiny EDC Flashlight with Big Power

The UK-based YSMART has introduced its latest marvel in the everyday carry (EDC) scene — the MQ5X keychain flashlight. Now live on Kickstarter, this compact yet mighty torch delivers 150 lumens of brightness, wireless charging, and a hands-free magnetic base — all in a form factor that weighs less than most house keys.

Pop-to-Light: Instant Illumination Without Buttons

The highlight of the MQ5X is its ingenious Pop-to-Light system. There’s no need to fumble with switches — simply detach it from the magnetic mount and it lights up instantly. This simple mechanic transforms everyday moments into seamless experiences, whether you’re searching for dropped keys, handling roadside fixes, or lighting a dark hallway. The design stays true to YSMART’s mission: tools that are simple, functional, and satisfying to use.

Smaller, Brighter, and Smarter Than Ever

Despite being YSMART’s smallest rechargeable flashlight to date, the MQ5X packs serious punch. It uses a CREE XP-G4 LED that produces up to 150 lumens of bright, focused white light. Power comes from a 10220 lithium-ion battery (130mAh) that recharges fully in just 30 minutes. The new wireless charging dock eliminates the need for a charging port, allowing the body to shrink down to an incredible 16g (aluminium) or 22g (titanium). Compact, durable, and ready whenever you are.

Hands-Free Power with Magnetic Mounting

The MQ5X’s strong magnetic base lets you attach it to any metal surface — car hood, toolbox, or tent pole — for hands-free illumination. It’s a feature that makes it a versatile companion for camping, home repairs, and emergencies. The light beam can be angled for precise direction, making it one of the most adaptable EDC flashlights in its class.

Built for Style and Everyday Toughness

Design isn’t an afterthought. The MQ5X comes in four bold finishes: Shadow Alu (matte black aluminium), Stone Titan (stonewashed titanium), Mosaic Titan (multicolour titanium), and Azure Titan (electric blue titanium). Users can also pick between white, red, or UV LED modules to suit their needs — from general lighting to inspection or night vision. Every piece is crafted to look as good as it performs, striking the balance between minimalist design and robust durability.Available now on Kickstarter, early backers can enjoy discounts of up to 45% off. Worldwide delivery for the YSMART MQ5X is expected to start in early 2026.
