Yes, 50 lumens is low. Probably more dim than your flashlight on your phone, but absolutely more versatile.

Seems like the keychain tether is built into the charging mechanism for some reason? I'm sure it's a nice light, but I feel like the charging design is flawed if you have to completely remove it from your keychain to charge it and the running time is only 60 minutes. Also 50 Lumens is kind of low, no?

That color looks to be new. It wasn't listed when I bought mine last month.
Agree it's more versatile. The magnetic function is awesome. Great for trying to find something in a dark place including your car, movie theater, etc.

I found out I can stick it to my eyeglass frames for "light where you look"

I already hate carrying my keys or any extra bulky crap around, but always have a need for a dedicated flashlight for small tasks (checking mailbox, lost things in between car seats, losing something under a desk). So the fact that the entire body (excluding) the key clip is less than 2.2 inches and barely weighs anything is great.
I've always carried around AAA "mini" flashlights with the the twist or click switch, but always found them rather annoying to use. Twist switch is annoying because you need two hands to twist it on. Click switch is better, but AAA mini flashlights are still too bulky for me and often come with an annoying clip.
The most annoying part of those other keychain flashlights is their bodies are always clipped to the rest of your keys via a keychain ring. It was always awkward to check my mailbox with a dangling flashlight, while using the same set of attached keys to open the mailbox. The ability to quickly separate it from your keys to use one hand to carry the light, then the other hand to operate keys is super nice. I thought the magnetic was mostly a gimmick, but was super useful when I was changing out PC parts with no light, I just snapped that thing to my case!
Also, you can use it as a momentary light if you lightly pull light body forward. That way you don't have to always separate it from the body.
The only thing I wish is that this thing is smaller. And also that I picked up the Blue Dream version on sale.
Man, I wrote a lot about a flashlight. But I really like this thing.
I think I like the Streamlight Pocket Mate more than this. The low setting is comparable to this but the high setting is 325 lumens for 20 minutes. It is more expensive tho and does require a micro usb cable to charge.
I have a bunch of flashlights, including a few EDC-types with Anduril and fancy options, but got this keychain light as a gift and it's incredibly useful/versatile. The momentary ability is great without fully detaching, and the magnetic mount with the pin to stabilize is absolute genius. This thing along with my keychain flash drive gets used all the time because I always have it immediately handy. Magnetic tail for a small light is a must IMO, but to have that also be the keychain mount is really clever.
Didn't think I'd use it NEARLY as much as I do... I was wrong. I'm also a sucker for orange and love the color I was gifted.
These things rock, buy a few and either attach them to everything you own or give them as gifts. No one will be disappointed.

I also have one on my personal keychain and it's gotten a few uses to help me find things I drop under my car seat as well as the occasional dropped ear bud. I have placed it between my lips to have both hands free to work on something (not my hospital one) and it's small enough to consider it a swallowing risk, or even aspiration risk, so becareful.
I haven't had to recharge either one yet, I imagine that is a spot of friction as it will have to be disconnected, but tbh, I see a solution here in the this thread. I'm buying a third and fourth one. I'm keep the third one as a free base off a keychain to lower the friction of recharging, and I'm giving the fourth one to a fellow clinican as a gift.
