T3 - The Gadget Magazine - March 2010
We're always on the lookout for novel gadge and this certainly looks promising. The Photon Freedom Micro light is an LED light that is about the size of a quarter. This little device can kick out an
eye-blindingly bright beam that can easily illuminate your way with your choice of a score of different coloured beams ranging from your usual white to ultraviolet for CSI-style hijinks. It also has multiple modes including a signaling mode should you,
for some unforeseeable reason, need to signal SOS. A ridiculously long battery life on the order of 10-12 hours before needing a replacement and the fact that it’s nigh on indestructible and capable of enduring eye-wincing amounts of abuse make this a
mandatory addition to any gadgeteer’s keychain. We like.

Stranded Man Directs Rescuers to Floe

Jimmy Jones’ pocket flashlight (red Photon Micro-Light) came in
handy Tuesday night. It helped guide rescuers who plucked him from
an ice floe after his snow machine sank into Kotzebue Sound. The
rescuers, clad in dry suits, walked and splashed their way
three-quarters of a mile across rotting ice, towing a seal hunter’s
small boat and picked up Jones from a floe he was sharing with some
seals.
“There were seals that were climbing onto the ice floe with him he
was kind of concerned that they might break off the ice floe and
make the place he was standing a little bit smaller,” said Steve
Troxell of the Kotzebue search and rescue team. Troxell and
firefighter Carl Chamblee rescued Jones from the ice. Troxell said
Jones spent at least an hour on the ice before he was spotted. The
rescue then took another three hours.
Fire Chief Ron Munson Said Jones’ snow machine sank into the main
channel about three quarters of a mile from shore. Jones was
traveling to a camp at Sheshalik, about nine miles northwest of
Kotzebue, when he decided to turn back because he didn’t like the
way the ice looked, Munson said. At that point, his snow machine
broke through and sank. Munson said Jones attracted help by shouting
and waving his pocket flashlight around. Police Chief Paul Nolton
said Alfred Gregg, who called police about 9 p.m, spotted Jones, 22.
Munson said Troxell and Chamblee donned dry suits and towed a small
seal hunter’s fiberglass boat, only a few feet long, carefully out
across the mushy ice, sometimes breaking through and splashing
through patches of open water. “We had to make several detours,”
Troxell said. “(But) we were able to weave a path following his
light and found him out there on an ice floe. There was pretty much
open water around it.” Troxell said he and Chamblee had to swim the
last few yards, towing the boat. They got Jones in the boat and made
their way back. Troxell said the round trip took nearly three hours
because of ice conditions. “The ice was bad. It was extremely bad,”
he said. “You couldn’t tell what was good (ice) and bad. We probably
went through the ice 25 or 30 times apiece in the mile out there to
get the person.” Jones was wise to wait for help, rather than try to
make his way back alone, Troxell said. Nolton said Jones was rescued
unharmed and taken to Maniilaq Health Center. He was later released
and has since returned to camp. Nolton said Kikiktaruk Inupiat Corp.
provided spotlights from a construction project to assist in the
rescue operation. About 100 onlookers came down to watch while the
rescue was under way |

Photon Light Named Best Seller
Photon Light makes tiny, lightweight lights so bright that customers asked for — and received — on-demand dimming functions!Tracey Rolon, of Ranger Joe’s International in Georgia, named Photon’s
Freedom Micro and the Micro-Light II as strong sellers at their Ft. Benning and Ft. Stewart retail stores. The Freedom Micro is a hit in Realtree camo, furnished with a keychain attachment, cap clip and neck cord.
