What is the best looking and best performing neck wear light?

I'm looking for something tiny that someone can wear around their neck.

I was thinking the T1A, because of the Titan ad, but it holds a CR123 and I think that will make it a little too big. Then I was thinking a Titan, but I can't find any dimensions of the Titan (or the T1A).

Then I was thinking the Aeon, but the dimensions of the Aeon is 2.1 inches by 0.7 inches and that seems too big, but maybe not. The Aeon looks a little nicer and that might make it win my opinion.

Is there anything better than an Aeon for this?

This will be a gift for someone, so even the popularity of the Surefire name affects the decision.

The only thing that comes to mind for neckwear would be a Lummi Wee. I've found that performance isn't that great when it comes to runtime AND output. It's one or the other.

I'd like to hear other suggestions though. I don't have a drake or draco so I don't know about those two. Perhaps the drake would be small enough for neckwear w/ better output/runtime versatility than the wee?

There's another thread on neck carry lights over here that should have some good suggestions:

Personally, I have tried wearing a Photon Freedom and a Streamlight Nanolight around my neck and I found both to be great for neck carry. The Photon Freedom is a great multi-use light since it can be ramped from low to high. The Streamlight Nanolight looks better though, IMHO. :thinking:

Neither the Freedom nor Nanolight will break the bank, either. And they can be found in brick & mortar stores so you can actually have a look at the lights before buying them.

I've been carrying an Arc AAA-P on a titanium chain around my neck for several years now. I think it looks pretty good, but I don't wear it as jewelry and keep it tucked underneath my shirt unless it is in use. It isn't the best performing output-wise, but it is very well built and very reliable, and with a lithium AAA cell is so light I usually forget I'm wearing it.

Drake

The Drake looks nice. Is it multimode?

Okay, let me see if I can't narrow this down a bit.

This is for a girl, so an Arc P is not good looking enough. The Drake comes in Chrome and Titanium, both seem like they'd be nice.

I want it to be a useful light. It needs to have a 10 lumen low or lower and I would like it to have a high mode. Hopefully it doesn't cost an arm and a leg to run.

It has to be Chrome or Titanium or... the Aeon Natural doesn't look bad, either. I suppose it could be black if it has to be.

What else do you want to know?

The SureFire Titanium Titan.

My wife wears her Red Aeon on a neck lanyard 24/7.

She loves the way it wears, and the way it looks.

If you'd like me to snap a pic of her Red Aeon around
her neck for size reference, let me know.

That would be my choice, cost no object. I own a Raw Al also, but would take the Aeon easy.

The Aeon (or Ion for that matter) would be a fine choice.

Since it is for a girl I would think that the Drake would fit the bill very nicely. Small , shinny, multi level, dunk-able, rechargeable. The Draco would probably be good as well( my wife wants one of these ) slightly larger but still smaller than a ION.
Good luck. Let us know what you decide.

I am soooo close to getting approval from the Ministeress of Home Affairs (my wife) to get one

I second a Photon Freedom or similar :thumbsup:

I like the Titan, look hot.:naughty:

I don't have Aeon, but CR2 Ion which I love very much.
For cr123 x 1, and wearable around the neck, you may want to check Bitz titanium. It's a wonderful light, small enough for cr123, 3 speeds - bright enough and low enough, and some hidden mode of strobe and more...
And it's less money.
