Another cool pair!

#1

Post by Kahz »

Samo and everyone,



Yesterday I received my two blue Photons. "El Hombre" was fascinated at how much light comes out of the little thing! I put mine on the chain along with the Mini-Police necklace, and it makes a good duo (while I get a Ladybug and/or a Jester). Krazie, it seems that the chain can hold much and it still feels comfortable. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>



I ordered another Photon yesterday, a II with red light. I am sure this one will go very well with a red Ladybug. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Good Morning Kahz,

Glad to hear you and "your man" are enjoying your Photons. I've always carried a SureFire 9Z which is extremely bright but also much larger than any of the LED/Photon lights that fit on a keychain. I've been wanting to get a keychain-sized light for some time. The Maglites I have still seem to be too large for what I'm looking for and, after doing some research on that flashlight forum that a fellow forumite recommended, it looks like I'll also be getting a couple of Photon 3's for me and my other half.

It seems like they would make an excellent match with a couple of <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> Jesters. BTW, the Jester is available in Fuscia, Lime Green, and, of course, black.

Hey Kahz!
WOW! AWESOME! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> Those lil lights are definitely putting the shine in you and the El Hombre's life! <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> Really cool pairing! I gave my vahenee a diamond white photon! She loved it! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> Then a coupla days later, she got another keychain light from CMG courtesy of a knife dealer from Hong Kong.. What a lucky girl! I'm thinking of getting a surefire E-2 for her birthday.. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

I dont know,Maby these lights would be good for playing around and for checking out things really small like Working on Chainsaw's and maby Engines.

I just would find it hard to replace my M-2 with one of these,This M-2 tucks away right in the Combat Holster and this proton light thing would have to be very bright to replace any surefire,But thats just me,A surefire Freak.

Agreed, Tom B.

I have yet to find anything brighter than a SureFire that wasn't attached to the front-end of an automobile. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Maybe I'll get a smaller SureFire, instead.

Hey guys!

SureFire is my goal... wow, I have so many goals in life nowadays. <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> So, my dear Larry, spill the beans... HOW did you get the Spyderlogo to appear like that???? I wanna know!! Just with "img src"? You tease! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> Jester, that will have to be lime green once I get it. I have a thing for limes. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Samo, I still think _you are the man_, I love this neck combo! The manslave is having fun with his, what a cool gift!!!!

Tool, I have a MagLite and I am not replacing it with these. The cool thing about Photons, you can hang them around your neck and you don't even feel them there! I am ordering two lanyards just for the fun of carrying more stuff around my neck. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> Try one, they are very inexpensive, so it's not like you have to break the bank for a trial! Yay!

Well, you know me, I love to tease!

I just shared how with Samo and I had a heck of a time trying to figure out how to show these characters without the Spydie logo showing up every time. And so, are you ready for this? <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle><img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle><img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

In responce to the effective brightness of the photon light.I use one every night to check in the trucks at work and while not as bright as a full size light it is plenty bright enough.I would have no problems walking in the woods in the dark with one.

What color do you use, J Smith? Is the Photon you use the Photon 2 or 3?

I have a ll now and a 3 on the way both white because I need to see most things in thier true color and IMO the white is brighter although I do like the color of the blue.

Thanks, J Smith. I've been eyeing the white LED Photons for awhile. I suspect that other than Blue, the White one is brightest.

The White Photon III is so bright it hurts if you look directly at the light!

Good to know, Al. Thanks for your input. Now, if I could find the best price on one, that would be ideal. So far, $14.50 + $7.35 shipping seems to be the lowest.
