Does anyone know the battery life of a Photon II 2x bright using a single 2032 battery? How does the battery life and brightness compare with the yellow, red, blue, green and orange using a single 2032 battery?

Lee1959 said:I have had the same red and white photons for probably close to 15 years now, and while I doubt they are used every day, they are used very often. I changed battery in the white one, one time in my memory, and I have never changed the reds battery.

difference could be quite noticeable if new cells were inserted, especially after extended period of time with daily intermitten use.
JMHO, YMMV

Bearcat, tell you what, I have a Countycomm white light with a 2032 in it. PM me your address and I'll send it to you, so you can test it all you want. Your part of the deal is to post the results here of any tests you might do. OK?
