After carrying a Photon II as my only EDC for years when I was younger I'll always have a little soft spot for these lights. Not a fan of replacing the coin cells due to runtime and costs, though (not to mention the lack of performance compared to AAA lights). Anyways but keys are just getting TOO bulky with all the various keys on top of my EDC Sak and AAA light. I have the wife setup with my old photon II (upgraded to the nichia GS a few years back running off a single cr2032). I also have used a lot of fauxton type lights with fine results but never really trusted them, obviously.
If I want to replace my Fenix L0D-ce Q4 with something like the photon II, is it worth the cost of the microlight or do these fauxtons provide substantial durability and performance these days? What other options might I have?
