Two part post.<br><br>1. FYI, I was passing through the Wisconsin Dells, WI, this weekend and discovered a Photon II type knockoff from China (I know the real thing is made in the USA). It was from a company called Flash Microtech and they were advertised as a rave partty light you can hang on a chain around your neck while dancing. They were selling them for $7. I didn't buy any but it seemed to me that the LED wasn't really focused. I suspect a lower quality LED is responsible. Aside from one's preference for made in the U.S.A. items, are these knckoffs legal or are they counterfit products?<br><br>2. Doug's personal kit includes a Photon II with a white LED. The white uses much more battery juice than a red LED does. Is there a good reason for white over other colors? (I know red is good for maintaining night vision, but I'm not a pilot where that's absolutely critical).<br><br>Thanks.<br><br>Willie Vannerson<br>McHenry, IL
