Small LED Light Review
We compare and contrast some
popular brands
Photon
Micro-Light II, Photon X-Light
Micro and some cheap Chinese made versions
as well as some of 'give away' quality. Some
are white light, some are blue or red
|
Starting
with the joke of the lot. An AOL 'give away'. no way
to replace
the battery, and it's about dead. One of
the first LED lights like this though. No switch,
just squeeze the leather sides
These
cost about $0
was
ok as a key chain light at
the time (years ago) but nothing good about
it now, too big, no on switch only pressure. |
|
Cheap
'Give away' key chain squeeze lights. These are
red and display a bulls eye pattern
These
cost about $0
light
is dim, no way to change batteries, no way to leave
it on.
Cheap keychain, small hole for ring

X-Light
Micro
X-Micro Personal Safety Flashlight
is big on features but low on price! Features
LRI's exclusive Freedom digital circuitry
to provide intuitive one-button access to full
range adjustable brightness plus four safety
strobe functions.
These
cost about $8
This
is my favorite of the bunch, the computer brain
is AWESOME, it can blink SOS in morse code for
you in an emergency. Rubber push on push off
is great and easy |
|
Charging
up the rubberized glow in the dark button on the
X-Micro Personal Safety Flashlight and a pic in
the dark of the green glow of the button. camrea
does NOT do it justice

Photon
Micro-Light II
Used
by NASA shuttle crews, US Military & the
US Secret Service, the Photon II has proven to
be among the toughest, most reliable LED micro-lights
available.
These
cost about $16
These are Ok but
for the price I can buy many cheap Chinese types
and theyhave an easier button to use. The
Chinese don't have the pressure on / off,
that can be handy once in a while
|
|
These
are cool little lights made in China but they work
great.
These cost about $5
I
have A LOT of these, they work great, take a lot
of abuse and cost almost nothing in bulk.
I wrap a short piece of 550 cord through
the loop in the back to keep them from getting
lost
|
|
The
same China type in blue and red, both very bright These
only cost about $5 too
|
|
Add
a cord or get them with a clip and a small LED
light can be useful
anywhere These cost about
$8 with clip
|
These
are for sale at Tucson
