The Flashlight That Fits on Your Keys: NanoB10
Most people rely on their phone flashlight for daily tasks, but it is often awkward to hold, drains your battery, and simply isn't bright enough for real work. The NanoB10 by Gadget On changes the game with a coin-sized titanium light that packs professional features. By shrinking a tactical flashlight into a 3cm body with magnetic hands-free capability, they promise a tool that disappears in your pocket until you need it most.
Project Overview
Name and Creator: NanoB10: 9-Mode EDC Flashlight with 360° Hands-Free Use by GADGET ON.
What It Is: The NanoB10 is a 3cm long EDC (Everyday Carry) flashlight machined from solid Grade 5 titanium. Unlike cheap keychain lights that are often dim or fragile, this unit offers 9 distinct lighting modes and a dual-magnet system. It allows you to attach the light to any metal surface and rotate it 360 degrees, giving you the perfect angle for repairs, camping, or emergencies without needing to hold it.
Status: The project is currently active on Kickstarter.
Key Features
9 Versatile Modes: Despite its tiny size, the light features nine essential modes including multiple white brightness levels, Red light for preserving night vision, UV light for inspection, and emergency Strobe/SOS functions.
360° Hands-Free Use: The flashlight features a built-in magnet in the tail and works with a magnetic clip base. This allows you to stick it to a car hood, fuse box, or tent pole and rotate the beam in any direction you need.
Grade 5 Titanium Body: The entire casing is crafted from solid titanium. This ensures the light is incredibly strong and corrosion-resistant while weighing only 20 grams.
USB-C Rechargeable: It ditches disposable batteries for a modern USB-C charging port. You can top it up quickly with the same cable you use for your phone.
Smart Memory & Lock-Out: The single-button interface remembers the last mode you used. It also features a safety lock-out function (requiring a long press to turn on) to prevent the light from accidentally activating in your pocket.
Rewards
Kickstarter Pricing: Backers can secure the NanoB10 at an Exclusive Early Bird price, which offers a significant discount compared to the future retail cost.
Options: The flashlight is available in five different titanium finishes, allowing backers to choose a look that matches their other gear, such as polished or stonewashed.
Delivery: The team has completed the design and prototyping phases and is estimating shipping to begin in June 2026.
Concept
The core concept is "More With Less." Gadget On believes that the best tool is the one you actually have with you. By eliminating the bulk of traditional torches, they aim to provide a "zero-burden" lighting solution. It is designed to be a serious tool that feels substantial enough for real work but small enough to live permanently on your keychain.
Inspiration
The project is a direct evolution of the team's previous success, the NanoB9. After analyzing backer feedback, they realized that users wanted more than just a bright light; they needed better control and placement options. The creators set out to solve the frustration of "juggling" a flashlight while trying to work with two hands. Inspired by the flexibility of work lights, they engineered the magnetic swivel system to bring professional utility to a coin-sized form factor.
