Which microlight to go with my Ladybug?

[BladeMaster]

I'm looking for a microlight to go on my keychain with my Ladybug and my Swiss-Tech. I was wondering if anybody has had any experience with these lights :

- Photon microlight

- ASP Navigator

- Pulsar

Do any of these have a habbit of turning on in your pocket? Which is the brightest? Also, I saw a Ladybug attatched to the Photon light on the official Photon web site...Does Spyderco endorse Photon lights?



BTW, I want a red light for the night vision aspect. THANKS!

Another vote for the Photon! I have the terquiose (Sp?) light in the Photon II version, and it is sweet!

Talk about bright? This baby will light up a good sized room, and even has a switch on it to "lock" the beam to "on" if you wish. I have never had it come on in my pocket, and I haven't had to change batteries. ( And I've had it for a while too. )

Can't go wrong with it, bro!

Photon II or III, white or green or truq.

The ARC AAA light is also very nice, sort of like a MiniMAg Solitaire that puts out like like a Photon.

I have the white Photon II on my Endura. I have a Arc AAA on my keychain. Both excellent lights. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

I have 2No. white Photon III's and they're the best.

If you get a Photon lll make sure it has the covert tip.It prevents the glare fron the side of the bulb from blinding you and directs the light into more of a spot.

Photon III. Useful. Priced right on Ebay or some websites. So small you won't even know it's there.

Definately Photon, go with at least the II if not the III. I just replaces the batteries in mine after almost 2 yrs of general use. ie. It stayed on my keychain and I used it whenever I needed to.

Another vote for the photon lites. I have given them aways as gifts to family and friends and everyone keeps asking where they can more. I carry a photon II on my key ring and it's a perfect companion to the rest of the gadgets on my keychain. I have had no problems with durability or having it turn on accidently.

which web page to see info about the photon III and buy one or two

I want all }{

Thanks for all the input, everyone. I think I'll end up with the Photon 2 or 3. What is the advantage of the Photon 3 over the Photons 1 & 2?
Also, have any of you ever heard of Inova microlights?

[spydieman]

The Photon 3 has 3 intensity levels.

Love my Photon II, blue. On my keyring with my <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> micarta Jester. I agree that they make great gifts, as well. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Pato, go to:

http://www.photonlight.com/

They have great service and these are the "Big Kahunas", the ones that make Photon products. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

BladeMaster,

The Inova lights are not too bad. I have a red one, and my other half has red, blue and green. They were very reasonable at the Military Clothing Sales Store at Ft Bliss.

I have the red Photon II on my keychain, and I highly recommend it.
Occassionally, I work at night (truck driver) and the Photon has come in pretty handy without disturbing my night vision. It's pretty surprising that such a bright light comes out of something so small, but it works great.
I carry my keychain with the keys and stuff in my pocket, but the microlight hangs outside (like the remote for a car alarm). I haven't really tested it to see if it turns on if it's in the pocket but I just prefer it this way.
As you may know, the Photon II has a switch that will "lock" the beam on. I don't think this switch would be able to turn on while in your pocket. Just to be on the safe side though, I always keep a spare battery on me.
