I EDC a few Photon3 ...
I say a few as I don't exactly know how many ... <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
what I like about them is their size : you can easily have some, hanging on your belt, your pack, your keychain, aso... ready to use without fumbling inside your pockets,backpack, handbag...

Even in an urban area (Paris - la Ville Lumi?re !!!), some places are quite dark (entire office blocks under construction or street lights stupidly placed between trees which completly mask them...) and I want to have a small light (in flashing mode) to signal my presence if I have to walk/jog around there, so I won't be a statistic in the morning papers (traffic accident column).
So I have a red Photon3 hanging from a shoulder strap of my backpack.

And in such dark places, a small white photon is quite enough to light my way a few meters away : on Paris' pavement, useful not to put my feet on canine excrement (even in chic districts) or to avoid holes and bumps, in building zones.
So a white Photon3 is dangling from my waist pouch, ready to be used.
It is also useful to look behind or inside computers (part of my job), under desks... aso..

Another white Photon3 is on my keychain, ready to serve when I have to use house keys : before entering the hall of my residence (yes - the light button is NOT near the door !), I like to be able to check if anyone is waiting there.. (it already happened...)

Of course, for more "serious" lighting, I also EDC aSF 6P, but I rarely use it for those "little" tasks.

As for "emergency", I have never experienced such occasion.
But even a small red light flashing an S.O.S. could be useful, don't you think ?

+ I have some stashed in PSK, FAK, aso... just too small and too useful not to put one inside any kind of kit ....


I hope this will enlighted your way to the micro-light ... <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
