Guide Review - Photon Freedom Micro Personal LED Flashlight

I bought several Photon Micro-Light I flashlights a few years ago. They are still working with their original batteries. I put a white light model on my keychain. It comes in handy at the campground when I need to make a night run to the bathroom, and it lights up the path quite well. I attached a yellow beam to the gear loft inside my tent. The light from it is more than sufficient to see everything inside the tent at night. My wife is the designated driver when we go on camping trips, and I'm the navigator. I gave her a white light model for her keychain as well as a red light model to keep in her truck. The red light works great for reading maps at night without causing any glares while she's driving. There are several newer models available now including the Photon Micro-Light II, the Photon Micro-Light 3, the X-Light Micro-Light, and the Photon Freedom Micro, which I've reviewed here. The new Photo Freedom Micro has replaced the model I on my keychain. For full details on all models and accessories visit the Photon Micro-Light Web site at http://www.photonlight.com/.

Note: the photo above shows a Photon Micro-Light II. The Photon Freedom Micro is almost identical.
