5.0 out of 5 stars Very handy to carry with you on your key chain, September 8, 2002

This is a very handy little light that is small enough to carry around in your pocket on a keychain. The LED "bulb" is very bright for its size, more than adequate for finding your way around in a dark spot, reading a map, finding key holes, etc with simple thumb press on the button. It has a small switch that will lock the light in the "on" position. I highly recommend this Micro Light II model over the more expensive Micro Light III. The Micro III has more features, but they aren't that useful and mine used up the batteries in just a few weeks. So I bought a Micro II and have been very happy with it. The battery has lasted several months so far.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes my life easier, September 16, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: LRI PRK Photon II LED Keychain Micro-Light, Red Beam (Tools & Home Improvement)

I have extremely poor vision that gets worse in darkened conditions. I found that this little LED "flashlight" is powerful and extremely useful. It always stays within reach on my key chain, and I use it every night.
The Lithium batteries lasted me for a more than a year of hard daily use before needing to be replaced. It is very useful in when trying to see a menu in dimly lit restaurants, but remember to cover about 75% of the LED, as to not disturb others. People like myself who absolutely need to see in these settings (i.e. diabetics who need to check glucose levels at meal time) it becomes indispensable. The light is extremely useful when I navigate for my wife in the car. The light does not disturb her like the dome light.

Other Uses:
Auto, boat, camping / hiking emergency or survival kit. The LED can be seen for some distance in the dark if looking directly at the source. If you point the light downward, the illumination is not noticeable.

Other Colors (other than above white)
I purchased one in red (different model I believe) for a friend who is a pilot, since the red light does not effect his night vision; he now keeps an extra one on hand, just in case.
The red light (red model, not white above) emitted from the LED, can not be seen by deer, which makes useful for hunters in their stands while waiting for light or as backup for a flashlight.
The only con is that the red light does not give much contrast. I have a green light that provides more contrast, but it's hard on the eyes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Performs much better than other keychain lights, November 4, 2005

You can find keychain flashlights on eBay for $1, but they are ridiculously inferior to this light. I've had mine for a month, and already used it several dozen times. I didn't know how handy these were! These Micro-Light II's use the newer Nichia LED's, which are twice as bright as normal LED's, but use the same amount of power (so these easily outshine most other keychain lights)... It isn't as bright as a hand-held flashlight, but you can easily use this for walking at night if you don't have access to a larger flashlight. The on/off switch also works great and does not accidentally turn on while in my pocket. I really have nothing to complain about this product, except that the price may seem high. In this case though you do get what you pay for. The batteries are two 2016 Li-Ion watch-sized batteries and are easily available at your local mega store or mall.

Beware that these are not very water resistant! I don't think water will permanently damage them, but you may not be able to get a light out of it while it is wet since seems to be no waterproofing on the case.
