I purchased this item as a back up to one I already have...it is great if you work with your hands in low light situations where you need bright light within about 3-4 feet of your face, or as a small virtually weightless emergency light. The LED comes with a clip that fits everythig from a hat visor to sun visor in your car and is simple but highly functional.
Unfortuneately, the vendor I purchased this item from (PresentsForYou) gouges you on the shipping cost...it cost as much to ship this item via regular post than the item cost me. You are not informed of this until after your purchase goes through. The shipping cost this vendor charged me was about $11, but the actual cost of shipping as printed on the package when it arrived was $4. Do the math. On: 2007-11-26
Ive had one of these for close to a year & it still works great. Lightweight & small but powerful, I have one on each keychain now and just bought 25 more for Christmas gifts for family, friends, & associates. A great, modestly priced gift item. On: 2005-12-16
I have been using Photon Lights for years and they are my favorite type of flashlight. The best thing about them is theyre always there when you need them! They take up very little space on your keychain. The Photon Micro has fully electronic dimmer functions, strobe lights, and morse code signaling capability -- definitely a good toy for a gadget freak.
These lights lasts a long time, espescially if you have and use the dimmer when you want to preserve your night vision. Its also easy to replace the batteries with standard inexpensive CR2016 or CR2032 batteries, depending on which light you have.
Theres a very convenient plastic clip mount available which you can use to attach your Photon to a hat, headband, bike or anything else. If you get the Photon Freedom Micro light, the clip and a keychain quick release are included.
Make sure your Photon Light is the new "2x brighter" edition if youre going for a white LED, or look into other colors/options. IR, UV, multicolor versions are available. Theres a "covert" body style available which doesnt throw as much light to the sides - also good for preserving night vision.
Best all around is the new 2x bright white which is actually real white light (not light blue like older LED designs). The coolest looking color is probably the turquoise. The best combo for night hiking is the Freedom Micro Green (Covert). On: 2005-10-12
I was amazed when I saw the light output provided by the Photon Freedom white LED. I needed a small, yet fairly powerful flashlight to have with me all the time, so I decided to buy the Photon Freedom Micro White LED. It exceeded my expectations. Very small, very lightweight, yet incredibly powerful for a flashlight this size! Be sure to get the newer version which is even brighter. You wont be disapointed.
