Comparison of Inova Micro and Photon Freedom Micro (with video)

[BirdofPrey]

Just a headsup on this. I mentioned awhile back that I would be posting this but hadn't gotten around to it. Well, had to call in sick today so I figured I'd make the most of my time free and get the article written.

Here it is.

Nice review, but have you actually put the Inova on your keychain and carried it for a while?

I thought the Inova was a very nice light -- until I actually used it. I carry my keychain in my pocket, and the Inova kept turning itself on. I returned it, and several others I had bought for gifts, to Fry's. A light that has a run down battery when I need it is totally useless, and this flaw cancels out all its other good features. I suppose it would be ok if you dangle it from your belt, or maybe from your neck, but certainly not as a keychain light. I now have a Photon Freedom on my keychain. Unlike the Inova, it's always off when I pull out my keys.

Yes, and thats why I mentioned that I didn't care for its method of attaching to a keychain and mentioned that it was too easy to turn on. I tend to carry it in a shirt pocket or jacket pocket. Well, I did anyway, now its relegated to dark house walking as the Photon travels with me now.
