Very Good
         

Light Type: LED
Light Class: Pocket/Keychain

Short Description:


Available from PocketLights.com

Kudos to LRI! A single pushbutton Photon that is simple to operate and comes with a nice new clip instead of just a keychain ring. Plus they managed to design a hat clip that you can drop the Photon into and clip almost anywhere. I liked the Photon III, but I like this one even better. In fact, it seems that the folks at LRI must like it better than the Photon III, too, since the promotional material included with the Photon Freedom doesn't mention the III in their list of products anymore!
