Decent micro torch?

[Zonda_]

One that will attach to a set of keys but not be noticeable in a pocket. Recommendations?

[JonMad]

The one on your phone?

Otherwise, Mito probably has a good idea.

I don’t know about “micro” torches - I think the really small ones which use a button cell are pretty pointless because they have less light output than a phone.

Moving on to the slightly larger end you have the AA/AAA torches, they’re ok if you can be bothered to keep changing batteries.
Something like this is from a good brand so the specs won’t be made up like the eBay ones.

I bought this last time

It’s been a good torch, I just have it in my jacket and it lasts over 10 days between charges now that I don’t keep pissing about with it on full power. It’s bright enough to be all the torch you need.

Excellent, that’s what I’m after.

Perhaps closer to what you're after? Legit tiny.

I've had a Maglite Solitaire on my keys for years. I've also got one in my Camera Case with some Red Gel over the lens.

Plenty of light for the use - never put a foot wrong.

"EDC" <shudder>

I was looking at USB-C rechargeable torches recently.

I rarely need a torch, and when I do, the batteries are invariably flat/need changing.

With USB-C (as opposed to micro-USB), you can "splash and dash" - get a good amount of charge/usage for a few mins charging time.

Seems like it would solve my problems...

It's an abbreviation of an awful expression: Every Day Carry
