Cool Pocket-sized LED light

[paulr]

My main gripe about the PAL's is they use 9V batteries. They claimed a while back to be working on a 2AA version. Other than that, they're real nice, and $15.75 is a bargain.

The Paklite is ridiculous, I can't believe anyone pays $30 for one of those things. It needs a special $10 9V lithium battery to live up to its runtime claims, and that battery isn't even included!

LRI (Photon)'s warranty service is very good. Call 541-925-3741 and ask for the warranty service department, and explain the problem with your Photon 3. They will take care of it.

All that said, I haven't really wanted adjustable brightness in a small light. The Arc AAA, CMG Infinity/Ultra, etc. are all fine with me. Either use at full brightness, or dim by putting your finger over the LED and letting out the amount of light you need.

How about this FS: Hi/Low beam spring for ARC LSH

What about the PT attitude?

[/ QUOTE ]

Got one of those.... I was looking for selectable brightness as well..
Selectable brightness, pocket sized, common battery and multiple LEDs

The attitude makes 3 out of four... close, but no cigar....

You could get a PT blast and run the Attitude module on two cells, but you'll need to bring two lights.

The rubber body tends to drag stuff out of your pocket when removed...I tend to carry paper money in there. It is a little bulky as well.

It sounds like you really want an Arc 4 though.

Oh well... I should have one in a few days... if anything it will make a good nightstand light... you know, once your eyes are used to the darkness, even a CMG infinity Ultra is really bright..
