The Photon Freedom,
like most of the rest of the Photon lights, is made of glass filled Polyurethane. The
battery cover is on the back and is easily removed for battery changes without tools.
It is also sealed with an
o-ring for water resistance. It is powered by 2 x 2016 lithium coin cells which will run
the single 5mm LED for an advertised 12 hours on maximum brightness (I would recommend a
battery change after 3-4 hours of constant use at maximum brightness.) The switch is just
a single click switch behind the textured front of the case. Pressing the switch using
various methods allows you to access the different modes.
The settings are: High,
Variable brightness selection, Fast blink, Medium blink, Slow blink, SOS, and Momentary
use. A lobster-claw clip is included for attaching the unit to your keychain and a hat
clip/mount is included as well. Batteries are also included.
Conclusions: A great little pocket light - put it on your keychain and
you'll always have a light with you when you need it. The infinitely variable output lets
you select the brightness level you need and being able to start at the dimmest level is
perfect for covert use or use in conditions where night vision preservation is important.
What I Liked: Water resistant, Tough, Good battery life, Bright, Easy battery change,
Lightweight, Nice new keyring clip, hat clip, and neck lanyard assembly. |
