lowest low on a budget light

[scott2907]

wow - some great suggestions there, and lots to think about. I think I'll be buying the ITP EOS upgrade, as I've heard lots of good stuff about it. I like the cyberlite too, might get one of those to see how it fares. I've wanted a zebra for camping for some time, and it's on my "serious lights" list. That's the one I save up for! So thanks for all your suggestions, comments and help - all very welcome advice.
Next stop - ITP EOS.

I doubt that you will regret your purchase of the iTP, it seems to be the current benchmark for bargain-quality in a keychain light - good low, too.

Well, its here. I'm surprised at the excellent build quality and beam quality. There are no rings or artefacts and the low is very low - lower than the E01 and its exactly what I wanted. I didn't like the look of the body on pictures - but its much nicer in person. I'm buying another! Thanks for the recommendation!
lovecpf

If you want something still lower the Photon Rex is a possibility. Also the Photon Freedoms.

Yeah I can't beleive nobody mentioned the Photon Freedom earlier -- they can ramp up or down from bright to dim. I have them in red and "NV Green" and the NV Green is usable for walking on the lowest level (red needs ramped up a bit). They come with a necklace or you can clip it to a belt loop for handy access. Or use the included clamp on the brim of a hat. Versitile, cheap, and batteries should last a darn long time on low... sounds perfect for this application.

sounds good, might try one of those as well. you can never have too many lights right?
