The Spartan Lite is a Victorinox 91mm Swiss Army Knife, adding an additional middle layer, containing an LED light and an inline Phillips screwdriver, to the ubiquitous Spartan.
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.
