My new keychain light

I got a new keychain light today. Although not usually considered by people shopping for keychain lights, this one has it all. It's got a simple, one-mode magnetic switch, a bright-enough beam, good battery life and nice type III anodizing. Although it is made in Asia rather than in the US, don't let this fool you. This light has what it takes!



No, wait.. That's not it..



Here I have placed some common lights along with the CR123 battery for size comparisons. Even though 1xCR123 is the common solution for keychain lights this light utilizes its own proprietary rechargeable battery pack, which should save some money in the long term.



Certain sacrifices have to be made in order to pocket carry this light, but as we all know in the community this is part of the EDC lifestyle. In addition, this carry method has the advantage of showing everyone your new purchase, much like driving through the neighborhood in a new signal red Ferrari. Everyone will stare, most in envy, very few in disbelief.

Will it replace your Quark AA? I dare say so.

You might want to consider cutting back on the donuts. :nana:

Hey, this thread is for discussing the light, not lowering my self esteem There's a reason I never post photos on the internet..

looks nice. what is it? Might replace my maglite 4D keychain light

It's a Polarion PH-40 HID, and I can't wait to stretch its luminous legs for the first time when it gets dark tonight.:devil:

Way to go Jellydonut!!! Very discreet!

No offense intended, Jelly. Just thought it might get you more pocket space for that bad boy. :laughing:

Actually, dummy me had no idea that was a serious light. Bet it really lights things up.

Neck carry could be another option, it should not stick out even in business attire. ;-)

I see it has a built in lens down pocket clip. That is a nice feature so that it doesn't roll around at the bottom of your pocket and makes it easier to access.

Keep your twins warm in the winter if it turns on...:devil:

That might put a little strain on the ignition lock on your car...be careful!

:nana:

Is there a risk of self-activation in the pocket?

That would be some HOT POCKETS! :devil:

Great thread and a great light!

Sure gives new meaning to the phrase, "Hey, is that a flashlight in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"

And I thought my keychain SF M6 that I carry sometimes was great. Your keychain Polarion has me beat big-time!

I just remembered my own recently acquired keychain light.

I see yours also has a practical pocket clip. Surefire and Polarion 'get' the needs of keychain light users.lovecpf

Oh how blind I have been! This is exactly the kind of keychain light I need! What a wonderful world it must be with such a light on the keychain!

NEVER misplace your key again and not finding it in the morning when you're already late for work. Additionally this one will certainly not end up accidentaly in the washing machine.


And I would prepared for incidents which my current keychain light can not handle:

• Bulb in a lighthouse defect? Take out your keychain light!
• Power outage in the stadium during superbowl? Take out your keychain light!
• Scotty can't get the damn transporter beam running to beam up Kirk and Spock? Take out your keychain light!

Man, you're a genius. You have given EDC preparedness a truly new meaning! I gotta have one of those. :naughty:
