I'm looking for a small....

small, small, pocket light. I'm thinking about the CR2 Ion. Is there anything else that is small with a flood like beam? I'd like to stick to AA, 123a, cr2 batteries with only primaries no rechargables.

Thanks,

Nick

cr2 ion is probably your best bet.

How small, small, small can it be if it uses a AA or CR123a battery? There are excellent lights that might meet your needs using any of these batteries, but if it's hanging on your keychain or whatever, you might notice a huge difference between a small AA-based light and a CR2-based light. There's also potentially big differences in operating costs when using primaries...do you care at all if CR2's are a bit harder to find and more expensive than the higher-capacity CR123A or the weaker but ubiquitous AA?

CR2 Ion is my choice. Small and floody with two stages, I love these things...

For a size reference, the P1 or smaller would be where I want to be. Cost of cells aren't too big of a deal to me because this light won't see too much use even if it rides in my pocket. My infinity ultra is bright enough for most cases. I just thought the Ion would provide that little extra I'm looking for in a small package. However, if a 123a with multiple levels is out there I'd be very interested. That would be easier on me as far as the battery selection goes.

I would highly recommend the CR ION!!

I don't have one, but it sounds to me like the CR2 Ion is best for a keychain-sized photon-rocket nozzle. There's lots of threads dicussing this little guy...and with your lack of need for long runtime, it sounds like it might be a good fit.

wher is the cheapest/ best place to procure one? (CR2 Ion)

edit: answered my own question. the fenix store of course!

I love the Ion. If you're looking for a small floody light, the CR2 Ion will satisfy your needs.

Now that I have more time...

The CR2 Ion is the best compromise I have found for pocket use. It lasts a long time on low, and high is easily bright enough for most chores. Especially if its a backup light.

Sure the CR123 lights are a little brighter or last longer, but they are also quite a bit bigger around. That makes them much more noticeable in the pocket, it might only be a couple more millimeters, but its very noticeable. Thats not a good trade for me, at least not for a pocket backup.

Go with the CR2 ION of course!

So I guess the CR2 is the way to go?? Does anyone have any suggestions for a 123a light??? Otherwise I'll probably go with the CR2.

Read up on the Fire~FlyIII !!!!!!!!

Have you seen the Peak Caribbean?:naughty:

The firefly III intrigues me, but I'm not sure I'm a fan of the twist back and forth method of changing brightness. I'm going to sell my LOPse for that reason. How does it compare?

Anybody have any idea if a peirce m10 will ever be available??

Hi nmiller glad to see somone here i share the same last name as assuming your last name is Miller? where are you from?

hope you find the write light

have a nice night

You know I have a pocket Body Peak CR2. Its small but I think the AAA based lights feel smaller on a keychain. They are longer but thinner, and that thinness does it for me. I would strongly suggest the Fenix LOP SE. Its a pretty floody beam but with a bit of throw to it as well. Great beam pattern really. Did I mention 3 Levels and great price.

I use a Millermods 2 level LOP and like it better than the SE. Twist a bit for low and more for high. The mod alone cost what a new LOP SE does though.

I guess you missed it, but I already own the LOPse, and am not too crazy about the method of changing the brightness so I plan on selling it. Its too bad, because it is a great light. That is my concern for the FFIII.

Benchmade Boy,


I'm definitely a Miller from the Cleveland Ohio area. I'd like to think there are many Millers here considering the popularity of the name.

I have no problem at all operating the FF3 with one hand, maybe it is the size, but it is no problem at all!!!! As far as the Pierce M10 goes, I got one and returned it. Maybe I got a dud but it had a terrible beam which from what I have read is not the norm. But they gave me a full refund with no problem at all so I sure cant knock them.
