That would certainly be true if the light wasn't attached to her obnoxiously enormous keyring. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

The Invoa mentioned above is a water "resistant" coin cell.

IMHO, nothing beats the Photon 2!

I've had this tough little sucker on my pocket-carried key ring for 3+ years now, and it works every time. Mine has the original larger battery (which according to the Photon forums can still be substituted for the stock two battery load - slightly dimmer, but battery life goes from 14 hours to 200 hours (more than a week continuous or as in my case three years and still no battery change).

Sure you can buy cheaper lights - but you've already read the stories in this thread...

Sure you can buy more expensive lights, like the Photon 3, but I've found the electronics to be finicky beyond usefulness - plus the vaunted waterproofness never beat the real world performance of my Photon 2 which has had a number of accidental submersions and rain soakings and dries out just fine...

Sure you can buy the big sucker AAA or N keychain lights and get some serious lumen-action - but how much do you want to stuff in your pocket everyday? I find that when I really need light in a pinch, the Photon 2 is plenty bright for true darkness. If you're looking for a macho power light, you'll be perennially dissatisfied with the keychain crop - go get some belt carried surefire law enforcement blinder baton if you're looking for this kinda trouble...

This is just one guy's user report, but I am very satisfied with the pocket functionality of this puppy!

I have had a couple of Photon2s and they are nifty little lights unfortunately they are not anywhere close to being even slightly water resistant. The flimsy switch leave something to be desired as well but I admit mine have never broken. I have however completely ruined one with the smallest amount of moisture (as stated in previous post).

After testing many small key ring LEDs I rank them as follows:

Arc Light
Peak LED Solutions
Inova
Photon
The rest of them...

The Arc and the Peak are surely outstanding products, but to me they are simply not "small key ring" flashlights - I would describe them as towards the largest thing I might want to carry on my key ring. The Inova's I haven't tried.

...and don't get me wrong, I've got the technophilia gene - I want to carry everything on my key ring - but I have enacted the strictest discipline in enforcing the "light* is right" philosophy.

(*Note: "light" in this case means lightweight/compact not multi-mega-lumens...)

LOL I hear ya ... I wouldn't carry anything larger than a photon or an Inova coin cell on my keyring either. That's why I have nothing on my keyring except keys. I keep my Peak light in my pocket. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

*chuckles at "obnoxiously enormous." Have you EVER seen a woman with a small keyring???
