View Full Version : Photon Micro-Light II Video Review
I used some of my REI dividend to pick this little light up to attach to my ditty bag string. Gotta give credit to Jason Klass for this since it was the first time I noticed someone doing this when I watched his Sundries Kit video. But anyway, it seems like a nice little light, light and bright!
As usual, here is a first look type review and a video of the cool little keychain light...

Velcro dots.
Hat, pack, inside tent or hammock. Hang an extra one on your pack strap with a whistle.
It's my light.
yea, I always carry one for use in my tent. Its bright enough to light up the entire tent.
The cheapest place I have seen replacement batteries in WWW.AMAZON.COM
Also, to change the battery you will need one of those little screwdrivers. Not something everyone will have in the field.

The pointy end of my nail file on the tiny swiss army knife works great for removing those tiny screws. But doing so in the field is risky...those screws are TINY and dissapear quickly if dropped. :)

Don't wash them. I had it clipped to my pants after a hike and forgot. After the wash it wouldn't turn off. The button wouldn't do anything. :( I need to get another. Great little light.

I love these little lights - I get them from here in a ten pack for under five bucks, put them on all my keychains & give them away to friends:

I've only had one with a bad battery out of 20; I put in a 2032 I had & it worked ok, but not as bright. Two 2016s are twice the voltage, but the 2032 should last twice as long. I just weighed one - with just the little ring attached it showed .2 oz on my scale.

BJStuart, great link! I'm going to order some, thanks a lot for the tip.
Also, Dollar Tree stores have similiar (maybe identical, same maker?) lights, I think 2 for a buck. great for clipping to a pack or bag for a quick look inside.

wow, you get 10 for $4.47
That's a great price.

I use a Princeton Tec Pilot light for my backup and night-time tent use. Similar to the Photon, but it comes with a nice clip that can easily attach to a head strap. I have been happy with it as well. Got a couple white ones and a couple red ones as well that I haven't tried out yet. Solid Princeton Tec construction, as usual.
