Photon Microlight II

I've bought at least 10 of these and given all but one to my friends. The first one that I bought I still have and it still works perfectly. This is after more than six years of daily use! I now also have an X-light, but I still use the original Microlight II on a daily basis. Despite the minor difficulties that I have mentioned in earlier reviews, this light still works brilliantly well and was clearly made to last.The X-light is easier to use, but this little gem will almost certainly outlast it. Get several immediately!

I look for 3 things in a keychain light: it has to be lightweight, tough, and bright. The Microlight II fulfils all three criteria and then some. It weighs next to nothing. It's tough by virtue of decent materials and build quality, and it as bright as hell. I'd argue that it's brighter and gives a more 'solid' beam than the Fenix E01 (though the latter runs for twice as long and uses more readily available AAAs). The always-on switch is a nice little bonus for when you want to go hands free, and the snap hook connector makes it a doddle to remove from your keyring if necessary. Worth every penny. Delivered with HH's usual celerity.

Super bright, keep it on your keys and you will never be left in the dark - unless you don't have your keys with you.

I've been using mine every day for over 4 years and I'm still impressed! Several of my friends and colleagues now use them and I've yet to hear a complaint about performance. The cost of replacement batteries is another matter. . . . Incidentally, don't remove the split ring when changing batteries, as it's a nightmare to replace :)

Brilliant, very bright, the switch is very handy aswell. I take it with me everywhere. Highly recomended.

Do not shine these little buggers in your eyes. I did, by accident, two hours ago and I'm still seeing a dark dot - that's how bright they are. Mine is now part of my EDC and since I live in an area where street lights are a bit of a novelty, this is going to be be getting plenty of use and it weighs much less than the Maglight Solitaire it replaces. Five star Heinnie service got it here in less than 36 hours. Can't be wrong.

Fantastic backup light or a main torch for you gram weenies out there. I attached mine to my ridge line in my hammock and use it as my reading light. Utterly superb and seems very well built. I'm so impressed I'm ordering more.

Awesome little light! I watched a couple of video reviews before buying, but it's a great size, VERY bright for such a little thing! Will be super-useful on my keyring, especially with these dark night / mornings at the moment. VERY, VERY impressed!

Excellent little torch much brighter than I expected and smaller than I thought will be getting more.
