hi all, i hope this doesnt sound stupid since i think i know the answer. i have a keymate that through great pains i have modded to a regulated 9 volts. it also has a glass optic. i would say it's output would be very comparable to a blue e1e if there was such a thing.
this just may well be my favorite light since i slaved to make it. the only problem i have with it is that it is a tight fit with a leatherman in my pocket.
now i was in a store and tried a photon and the inova keychain light. in the well lit store they seemed quite bright. i did not have my keymate with me.
my keymate is what i consider the minimum usable output of a flashlight.
ok now for the stupid question. if i buy the photon and shine it on the wall next to my keymate am i going to be very dissapointed? is the photon even as bright as a stock keymate? if it was as bright as a stock keymate i'd still consider it given it's much smaller size. however, any less output than a stock keymate i personally find completely useless for anything.
thank you,
nitebrite.
