{Yeah - I EDC 5 flashlights, plus cylume sticks }

Impressive! I own a lot of small lights, but I don't carry quite that many on my person! Normally, I EDC a Brinkmann Max Fire LX in my left pocket and a 2 AA MagLite with Nite-Ize LED conversion in my tool bag (for output I use the Max Fire; for endurance I use the Mini-Mag)

I carry too much "stuff" - averages about 50 lbs every day - this includes not 1, not 2, but 3 different 2 way radios! (they say carry extra batteries - I cary extra radios)

sigh

kc2ixe,
Miller modded Fenix's are L1Ps and L2Ps turned into two level flashlights by Eric Miller. I tihnk they become a twist for on light, with the switch toggling between high and low. I believe the high setting is a bit higher than the unmodded Fenix's output, though I'm not sure.

He has also put some Luxeon emitters into some other flashlights, like the ArcAAA and the Arc "clones" (ie ripoffs). I'm sure he has probably done some other stuff. A search over at CPF should reveal a lot.

KenK,
Put your Photon Freedom into "signal" mode by pressing it rapidly four or four times until the light only comes on for as long as the switch is pressed. If something turns it on in this mode it will only stay on for as long as there is pressure on the button. When you want to change out of signal mode, just hold the button down for a few seconds until the light goes off and you are back in normal mode.

It won't prevent the light coming on for short periods but it should stop the batteries from draining.

Sorry it took me so long to notice a reply. I've been in and out and not checking the forum as often as I'd like. There's a modder who posts regularly on Candlepowerforums who does some nice mods to Arc-AAA lights as well as some high-power mods to 2-cell Maglites. There are various choices, and the price of modifying your existing ARC-AAA can vary from around 30$ to 50$ depending on what you want done. If you don't have an ARC-AAA I believe he will also provide that for a reasonable fee. You can get a single stage luxeon set at either 3/4W, 1W, or 1.5W output. Battery life for the 3/4 watt mod is between 70 to 90 minutes depending on the battery type you use. The higher power 1 & 1.5W lights get shorter run times. A 2-stage mod runs $10 more, and you can select a low level of either 30ma or 60ma drive to the Luxeon LED. The 60ma is a nice setting, and runs between 6 to 7 hours. Another service provided is to polish the reflector ($3) and to regrind the reflector to a parabolic shape, which increases the hot-spot and throw a bit ($10). I have a couple of 3/4 Watt 2-stage models, a 1W model, and I had him modify an ARC-AA with 1.5 Watt drive to the luxeon and a 90ma low drive. The AA ARC is larger, but the output is fantastic for a single AA battery pocket light.
These lights are well made and have a nice "Wow" factor" when non-flashaholics see how much light can come from such a small package", but for EDS there's nothing wrong with a plain everday stock ARC-AAA. Practically indestructible, and with a lithium battery installed they're almost weightless.

I just purchased:

Inova X1 New style and
Inova X1 Old style

I see the difference just like in the flashlightreviews website. However, I haven't seen their operation in the dark. Only on a bright sunny day here in Chicago. So I will post information later tonight.
