LRI PWK Photon II LED Keychain Micro-Light, White Beam

Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

While space shuttle astronauts have reportedly used Laughing Rabbit photon LED lights in their endeavors, the average consumer will quickly find that there's no need to go into orbit to find uses for one of these. The amount of illumination you get from this extremely compact and lightweight light is truly surprising-and it fits on your keychain. Weighing a mere 5-1/2 grams and small enough to disappear under a quarter, the Photon II gives you enough light for almost any task. The LED bulb is virtually unbreakable, yet is nonetheless covered by a manufacturer's lifetime guarantee. The replaceable lithium battery (included) gives you a total of about 12 to 14 hours of use. In addition, the Photon II comes with a slider on/off switch, which means you don't have to apply continuous pressure to the squeeze button to receive a continuous beam (unlike the original Photon Micro-Light). This is really a nifty little tool that you are guaranteed to appreciate the next time you find yourself in the dark.--Josh Dettweiler

Amazon.com Review

While space shuttle astronauts have reportedly used Laughing Rabbit photon LED lights in their endeavors, the average consumer will quickly find that there's no need to go into orbit to find uses for one of these. Extremely compact and lightweight but with a powerful beam, the Photon II white-light keychain is a terrific all-purpose minilight. Weighing a mere 5-1/2 grams and small enough to disappear under a quarter, the Photon II blazes a light trail bright enough to aid in almost any task. The LED bulb inside is covered by a manufacturer's lifetime guarantee, while the included CR2016 lithium batteries run for 12 to 14 hours of constant use. In addition, the Photon II comes with a slider on/off switch, which means the user doesn't need to apply continuous pressure to the squeeze button to receive a continuous beam. Laugh along with Laughing Rabbit as you blaze a trail under the cover of darkness. --Rivers Janssen

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

By	Paul M. Dubuc (Columbus, OH USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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

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.

I purchased one 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.
Other uses:
The red light 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.

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.

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Look at Inova instead, May 13, 2003

By A Customer

This review is really about a better alternative to the Photon-II - the Inova Microlight. I purchased the Inova at CompUSA after doing some quick research on the net. The Inova is just as small as the Photon-II and in my opinion is a better design.

1) the case is screw-less; no micro screw-driver required for a battery change.
2) the Inova's small slide switch is easier to operate
3) the Inova's LED is recessed into the case and not exposed
4) the Inova's quick-clip is easier to attach than a split-ring.

All this at a price that is 2/3's the price of the Photo-II. (icing on the cake).
