What is everyone's opinion on this color? I'm trying to find a Photon III (I like the fast blink feature) that has as long of a life as the red Photon III, but in a different and "noticeable" color.
I think the yellow/amber led might not be as bright as the orange...
I gave a friend a white Photon III and a red one. He uses them on his bike ride home every night--about a 8-10 minute ride. After two months, the red is still fairly bright. He's gone through TWO white photon III's! (I gave him mine after his dimmed...I suspect that both his and mine are the defective ones...they don't have microswitches. One of them completely died after another two weeks in my drawer...it doesn't turn on at all--I guess it drained the batteries? I am going to warranty these...
Also, can anyone confirm that the new orange Photon III's still run off one CR2032 3V??? I thought that maybe they are overdriving these as well to 6V?
Thanks.
do you guys think a green driven at 3V (instead of the 6V they bumped it up to) will be more noticeable than the orange?
EDIT: okay, the oranges still run off one CR3032 3V, which is good...and are rated at 120 hours like the red and yellow...
Now, I wonder which one would be brighter and more noticeable: the Orange or the Green using 3V instead of the current 6V???? Craig? Have you done a comparison of the orange and green using the same battery?
