My Photon 3 was a continual disappointment to me, and I switched back to the simpler more reliable workhorse - the classic Photon 2. Imho, the Peter Principle took effect between the Photon's 2 and 3 - ie: they were improved one too many times after they had already reached their optimal design/performance level. (As to the waterproofness argument - my Photon 2 has been submerged countless times, and in addition to the beating it gets by continual pocket carry for 2+ years - it still works like a charm - it's my all time favourite flashlight, because it's always there when I need it!)

(However if I ever figured out a use for all those fancy flashing settings, and for some reason my finger wasn't able to replicate them, your idea is a good one. And the photo and presentation are a model for how to effectively present information on innovative work-arounds in this forum. Thanx!)
