Get a Photon in Red, Arc AAA riding with it. I have that setup with a different color (green) photon.

Corrected the runtimes for the LOP.

AAA Sinica Lithium battery.
The LOP runtime to 50% max brightness = 1h 29m

I second the Fenix LOP SE as a great key chain light.

Any thoughts on the new P1D CE as a key chain light?

Right on the money, Verve!

That's what I use P1D-CE - it's a little beauty.

Strobe's also good to have in the car in case of breakdown or other emergency.

Sweet, can't wait til mine arrives!

I think that the P1D-CE is too big for the keychain. But then again, I think that the P1 is too big for a keychain and there are quite a few people who like it on their keyring. Not me; I prefer a smaller, inobtrusive light even if it compromises some features and output.

Yeah, I gave my fiancee an Inova X1 and she said the AAA sized lights were really too big for her pockets but that she could manage, but anything bigger was out of the question. She would carry anything bigger than AAA or LR44 light in her glove compartment or purse, when she carries a purse.

I don't mind a AA or cr123 size light in my pocket or on my keychain. But it does start to get kind of bulky with the swiss army knife that's also on my keychain.
