<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Melvin, I've got to tell you this; it's only fair. Since you're into risk management or safety management, the parallels are there. Risk management of our facility, following what is called the "Spring Break Quake" in Oregon, it was decided that each employee should carry a small flashlight for their own protection should a catastrophe or loss of power occur. The chosen light at that time was the small UK 2AAA pocket light. For a small incandescent, it's not bad. The employees were delighted, with maybe a few of the ones inclined toward looking a gift horse in the mouth complaining that "there's one more thing we've got to keep track of".
The problem: People started losing their lights, and requesting replacements. People started playing with their lights, running the batteries down. Instead of purchasing new batteries for their lights, they decided their employer should supply them with replacement batteries, with some employees requesting a supply of batteries for future use
Needless to say, risk management decided that while the concept was worthwhile, management of the program was not as expected. FWIW.
Another light to consider, Melvin is Bison's coin light. It's small like a Photon with a built in clip.
