Re: [at-l] Photon light users - HELP!

["Charles W. Davidson" <wb4pan@mindspring.com>]

I like the Yellow Photon II because it offers better light to read by
than the white and it burns for 5 days on one battery. I use a red one
as a zipper pull for night sky watching etc. For a couple of years I
used only Photon lights. Now I added the Princton Blast a 2 battery AAA
real flashlight that only weighs 1.5 oz with batterys.
