While in Target few weeks ago to pickup the River Rock 4xAA LED lantern, picked up a half-dozen of the Inova Micros for Xmas stocking stuffers. Good price at $6-and-some-change, and they had a variety of LED colors besides white. Of course, got a couple for myself.
They are slightly larger than the Photon. Light output seems comparable. Don't know about battery life; presume comparable. Didn't care much for the metal carry-clip, so replaced with small split ring.
Like the ease of battery replacement when the time comes, and its easy-to-cycle modes. One squeeze between modes starting at off cycles to bright, dim, flashing, and back to off.
