The LED/Phillips layer is as thick as two regular layers, making this three-layer model as wide as the four-layer Huntsman. However, even with its four-layer equivalent width, the Spartan Lite is the thinnest model that includes the inline Phillips screwdriver.
The light is not very bright, but quite useful for finding keyholes; late night navigation, without disturbing others; and close-up tasks where some lights may be too bright.
Discontinued, as per the 2024 catalogue.
