I recently requested an order form
and price list to replace a bulb in a photon micro-light II I
purchased. I received a new bulb and a brief note explaining, if I
had a problem reassembling the light to call an employee named
“Sherri” It seems that LRI is not only concerned with the customers
complete satisfaction with your product, your employees take the
same pride and dedication to ensure satisfaction of the consumer
after the sale of the product.
Sincerely,

I just wanted to express my gratitude
for the quick and hassle-free service you gave me when my Photon
Micro-Light switch broke… and no charge not even a “handling fee”,
that is almost unbelievable in this day and age. You are a company
that stands by their product. Thousand thanks.

I must say that I was very impressed
by your letter and your company’s willingness to replace my damaged
Photon 3 even though when you received my letter my light was
missing. This level of customer service is uncommon these days and
will keep people like me, buying your products in the future.
My light, a white Photon Micro-Light 3 Has served me well. I am a
senior patrolman in the Victoria Police Dept. in Victoria Texas and
have carried my light on my key ring for approximately a year.
Several months ago I was involved in a foot pursuit in a wooded
area, after a suspect fled his vehicle during a traffic stop. The
flashlight I was carrying had become dim and then the batteries went
dead. I turned my Photon on the continuous mode and continued my
search. With the aid of my Photon I located the suspect underneath
the staircase of a nearby warehouse.
I was very surprised when I discovered that the LED bulb had
cracked. Several Other officers on my shift carry Photon
Micro-Lights and we frequently use them for signaling each other
during nighttime operations and building searches. Your product has
proven to be an important piece of equipment in my patrol duties.

I am exceptionally impressed with
your level of confidence in your products and your speedy action in
sending the replacement part to me. I have been quite lost without
my Fusion, as I use it extensively both during the day and night
when I am measuring components for our portable sawmills, during
fabrication there is only a +/- 0.25mm tolerance for error on parts.
I find that using the Fusion removes all trace of shadows that play
tricks upon the eye and result in errors.
With my Fusion broken, I tried to relieve my partner/son and met
with stiff protest indeed all the staff guards their lights,
protesting greatly if I want to borrow it.
I have just come from doing a bit of woodturning on my lathe and
again have found a vast advantage in wearing my Fusion; I am able to
see far better than just ambient light alone. Having the headlight
once again, made working so much more rewarding, as I was able to
see far more clearly what material was being removed. I was quite
amazed at how much “natural light” was blocked out by the sawdust.
The additional light from the Fusion penetrated the gloom created by
the sawdust and allowed me to see clearly.

Your Photon light is an incredible
product, but it is outshone by your customer service. I am a
Chiropractor, I have a light for personal use: to get into my car,
house and look for things in the dark. I also have an ultra violet
that we use in the practice to demonstrate the nervous system in a
way that makes the bodies’ miraculous abilities simple to
understand. We have a model of a spine that has fiber optics in
place of the spinal cord. Attached to the top is the Photon 3, It is
then easy to demonstrate what the effect is on the nervous system
that is not flowing freely. The light on continuously shows
sympathetic mode-fight or flight, stress and the adrenals firing
away, cortisol running rampant, or in the blinking mode it shows the
signals traveling thru the body, as it should.
Your light is truly a thing of beauty and quality. More remarkable,
however, was the fact that even though the postal department
delivered my envelope without the lights to be serviced. This didn’t
hinder your staff, as they promptly mailed out replacement lights.
I have owned your lights since they first came out and will continue
to give them as gifts, proud to steer people to the highest quality
product on the market, and a company that still cares what the
consumer thinks.
Your product is superb. Your staff is priceless. Congrats on a job
well done.
Sincerely,
K. Kasten

What incredible service you guys
have! And amazing products! I sent my Photon 3 in for replacement
and received a new one less than 2 weeks later (I live in northern

and a Photon II. Now that’s what I call service. I will definitely
show the Photon to everybody I know and inform everyone about the
great service.

I have never been more impressed with

I got my blue Photon 3 yesterday. It
came in excellent timing as we had an electricity power shutdown of
more than 8 hours (!!) tonight and I used all my Photons (II and 3)
to find my way around my darkened apartment – couldn’t think of a
better use for that versatile light that is always there with my
keys. Thanks so much for that extra yellow Photon II and extra set
of lithium batteries!! This is what I call great customer service,
which fully justifies the little extra money your LED lights cost
over copycat low-quality competition. I am glad to know that there
are companies like yours that honor both their products and
customers and do not hesitate to take that extra mile in standing
behind their commitments.

I just received my Photons back
today… and damn did I miss them… I just wanted to thank you, and LRI
for the great service that my lights got. Not only did you replace
the switches free of charge but replaced the batteries too! My
Photons are now in perfect working order. Thank you!!! I plan on
buying a pair of Rav’ns and possibly a pair of Photon 3’s.

You weren’t kidding when you said
that Photon has the best warranty in the business. You not only
replace your own lights, but those of your competitors as well! I
apologize for sending you a broken light that was not yours, but I

more Photon lights to put on all our key chains.

The long, rambling, relatively
unimportant stuff: I bought your Photon Micro-Light in Seattle. I
loved it to death. I bought one for my father; I bought one for
everyone in my wedding party. I bought one for my brother.
Then the bad stuff started happening: though all four of the guys in
my wedding party said that their lights continue to work swell, my
light, my brothers and my fathers started to do this annoying thing
where they come on when they aren’t being squeezed. I replaced the
batteries in mine twice, but only ended up only getting about three
weeks life out of the thing (because it was going on by itself so
much).
I’m sending you mine in hopes of getting a replacement.
My brother has zero tolerance for any mechanical malfunctions and he
threw his into the Pacific near Rincon (a great though crowded surf
break in between Ventura and Santa Barbara).
My dad says that his isn’t working but he hasn’t thrown his into the
Pacific. He has a little patience. So I guess I’m also asking you if
you’ll send me a functional light to give to my father. I’ll send
his to you when I get yours. My brother is too damned impatient – he
doesn’t deserve to get a replacement. He shouldn’t have thrown the
thing into the Pacific.
Finally I checked with all the guys in the wedding party, they said
that they were amazed at how often you use a flashlight you just
happen to have on your key chain. Jorge said “ You know, I would
have just stumbled into something in the dark, or struggled to read
something in the dark, but with this thing always in my pocket, that
doesn’t happen any more.”
Frankly, I was very stoked with my light too, till it started to not
work.
The short version (the important stuff): Wow, what a long rambling
letter. To summarize: please send me one replacement light for me,
and one for my father. I’m enclosing my old light.
I’m best man in a wedding 3 weeks from now, and well I think that I
should get lights for all six other guys who are standing up at the
wedding. Got any volume discounts?

Wow! You guys are as good as you say.

Amazing that a company actually follows up on their warranty

worth the effort to return something.
Thanks S. Shelton, CT

Let me start by saying I absolutely
love my red Photon light. I just pulled up my receipt and discovered

Voice: (612) 448-5803 Fax: (612) 448-5803 Sunday, October 20, 1996
Mr. Allen;
Some time ago I bought an L.R.I Photon light and without trying sold
it to a friend the same day. So then I bought 3 and tried not to
sell all 3. The next day I ordered 8 and those sold. I still wasn’t
trying to sell them. People would whine until I sold them the light
off my key ring. I should have tried to make more than $1 on each of
the sales. I was buying them at retail and still able to sell them
at a profit! The 25 I got from you last week are gone and I haven’t
launched my sales effort yet. The manager of a Proex Camera store
bought 12 of them for his employees and I’m sure he will be ordering
directly from YOU for his store’s needs. I didn’t think of them as
an outlet for Photon lights but they’ve got a walk-in customer base
along with counter space and that’s apparently all it takes to sell
Photon lights.
That brings me to this order. Could I have this order expedited?
Please! I have a few marketing ideas on how I could move something
that sells itself with the same popularity as fresh water in the
middle of the desert. I’m not at present in the retail business but
if people won’t let me keep my L.R.I Photon light on my key ring
I’ll get into the retail business just for the educational
experience.
I have described you, David Allen, as the inventor of this unique
light and as a friend of mine that isn’t following the traditional
marketing tactics for such a product. That answers the question I’ve
heard too many times, “why haven’t I seen these lights in the stores
if they’re so great?” First people ask this question and then they
buy at least one Photon light. For now these lights sell themselves
so thanks again for your efforts and may the success of L.R.I be
similar to that of Microsoft.
Sincerely,
J. Vilmain

Approximately 2 ½ years ago I purchased 25 Photon lights in blue and
red. These were used for a medical team taken to the Sudan in Africa
for relief work through our organization called Safe Harbor
International Relief. Over sixty thousand dollars was spent on
supplies, these little lights were the hit of the trip. They were
one of the best items we had on this trip in an area with no lights.
We continue to use them to this day.

I received the new Photon 3 and I’m thrilled to have such a high
tech accessory. I’m very impressed at the capabilities of such a
small light. As my younger friends would say “it’s totally awesome”.
I’m sure that I will find many more uses for such a multi-capable
light than just lighting my way in the theater. Since I am such a
happy camper, I’m sending a picture of my smiling crew. I am going
to buy more of these wonderful lights for them.

I have a
tale of woe to tell and I’m hoping you will come to my assistance.
Recently, my daughter gave me a Father’s Day present of your
wonderful Photon II white light. Since we just moved to the above
address way up in the north country my daughter felt that this would
be an illuminating gift of great practical value and felt bright for
having discovered this gift for the “man who has everything”.
Not only that, she frequently asks if I am using her gift and the
circumstances, she glows with pleasure at each recounting.
Unfortunately, the man who has everything no longer has his Photon.
On a recent trip I discovered that the Photon had slipped off my key
ring. Now you must understand that my daughter is the light of my
life, and that Photon is the light of hers. I have unsuccessfully
attempted to replace it with local retailers without success and I
dare not ask her where she purchased it. Would it be possible to
replace this missing light with a direct purchase from you? It would
brighten my life.
Please advise A.S.A.P. and I implore you to keep this our dark
little secret.
Bill

Dallas,
Thank you so much for your prompt response to my father’s plea.
Enclose is my check for two white Photon II’s at 20$ - the 10%

will note, no fool I have ordered a back up so that I can perpetuate
this benign deception well into the future!
Thanks again for bringing light back into my life

I do a lot of fine work of watches and clocks, quite often in dark
and poky corners of other peoples houses. Your Fusion is very light
and handy, it throws a completely even light, no dark patches in the
center of the beam and the batteries seem to last forever, it really
makes my work a great deal easier.
Even when I’m sitting at my own bench, with proper illumination all
around me, the Fusion still helps when I am peering into the works
of watches and clocks. With the Fusion I only have to move my head a
fraction to enable me to see exactly what I need to see in order to
complete the service/repair in which I am at that moment engaged.
If I may say so, a really wonderful little bit of kit, it does make
my life a great deal easier, oddly I also use it at home, when I am
stoking up my bonfire, on which I burn a great deal of garden
rubbish, last thing at night, so it burns steadily all night, I use
my headlight which leaves both hands free to build the fire up into
a proper easily burning heap.
Thanks again for your prompt courtesy and help, very much
appreciated, I can assure you
Yours sincerely

Although
I have had a yellow Photon for a few months, my new Photon II
arrived in today’s mail. I am far, far from being a young kid, but I
felt like one when I took the light into our walk-in closet, shut
the door and turned on MY Photon II. Fabulous!
A few weeks later my wife and I attended a performance of the Boston
Pops Orchestra at the Symphony Hall in Boston. When the lights
dimmed and the performance started, my somewhat diminished eyesight
prevented me from reading the program. My light, which I always
carry, came to the rescue. The beam did not disturb those seated
around us, but at intermission they all commented and wanted one of
their own (I should have had some to sell I would have made a
bundle).
Thanks for a great light.

I have
been a building inspector for 27 years and for the first 20 years my
flashlight was always in the trunk when I needed it. Flashlights
were just too cumbersome. A few years ago I tried several small
lights but the batteries don’t last long enough, and the bulbs were
too dim. Then my son Forrest, while caving in England, told me about
a light he used as an emergency light source because of its
brightness and longevity. It turned out to be the Photon light. I
bought a white one and have never been without it since. I attached
it to my knife. The light is very small and easily carried and I
really like the on/off switch.

I
frequently walk at night along unlit residential streets that also
have no sidewalks. I put my Photon 3 in the one minute on setting so
the LED flashes for three seconds before coming on steadily. When I
see an oncoming car, I press the switch and the three seconds of
flashing gets the attention of the driver. A wide right of way is
almost guaranteed.

I bought
a Photon in blue. I LOVED it. It was so much brighter than anything
else I’d seen. I used it intensively for car repairs, plumbing,
computer repairs, anywhere I didn’t have enough light. It really
showed through when I was at a Boy Scout campout, some snow hit,
most of the lights failed from water, but my Photon light stayed
strong and we were able to find some propane lights. Thanks to the
people who make these wonderful little lights.

I have
had my Photon II for a year or so and while it has been generally
useful, it hasn’t really had a chance to be a lifesaver. Carried in
my pocket at all times it mostly sees use at nighttime. That is
until recently. Working part time as a dispatcher I load trucks with
pallets. The pallets are marked with spray paint to show their
destination. On this particular day the truck was fully loaded with
pallets and we were unsure if an important pallet that had been
loaded up front was marked correctly. With no lights inside the
truck we had one option…. To unload the entire truck.
But not so I pulled out my Photon, clambered to the back of the
truck and shone the beam onto the painted pallet. To make a longer
story short a lot of time was saved and the whole operation hassle
free thanks to the small high-powered Photon that I can carry
everywhere.

Thanks
for a great product. I am an engineer by profession with hobbies
like horses, hiking and adventure racing. I’ve been through 5 sets
of batteries already. The lights have been used in raving, power
outages, to repair trailer lights at the roadside at night, to crawl
down and inspect gulleys (French drains), inspect caves, during
camping trips in my tent (the on/off switch is invaluable then), to
remove an foreign object from an injured horses’ eye, and many other
times. My lights are permanently with me – one on my chain and the
other on my motorcycle key. I have other flashlights but I Photons
account for 90% of actual use.

B. Forgot if you signed that check you just sealed in the envelope?
Just shine your light through the envelope.
C. Locate that sheet of paper stuck somewhere in the innards of the
copy machine. Or crawling under the desk to check on computer cables
to connect or disconnect from the back of the CPU.
D. Shine the light through your hand to see that pesky splinter.

Get
this! We have a wooded backyard that extends about an acre back.
Today I was out there raking leaves when I noticed a red light on
the ground. I picked it up and to my amazement it was one of the
Photon Micro-Lights…. Turned on!!! No one in my family has ever
owned one, and while it was dirty and the ring was rusty the light
was still shining. Kudos to the makers of this product, unlike a lot
of things today the Photon is built to last.

I just
received the 2 new Covert Photons that I ordered from you, I
couldn’t be happier with them. I particularly like the covert nose,
it adds extra protection to the LED, my wife and I have both broken
LEDs on our Photon II’s carrying them on our key rings. I was going
to throw away my 2 broken Photon II’s when I realized that I could
send them to you for repair. Keep up the good work.

I have
been a satisfied customer of Photon Micro-Lights since my older
brother first gave me a yellow one in Romania about six years ago.
When I was in Mozambique last summer we received several shipments
of humanitarian supplies for the flood victims. I was in charge of
sorting the contents of a shipping container of donated clothing
into different piles of women, men’s and children’s clothing. We
were about half way through the job when the first African sundown
suddenly turned everything pitch black inside the container.
I thankfully remembered the blue Photon with a lanyard I had on my
belt loop and clipped it to the brim of my hat. I had a lovely pool
of light by which to read the labels on the boxes. I stacked them
into three different piles for the other workers to take to three
different storage locations to be distributed to villages. It felt
great to just get the job done without having to wait another day.

I wanted
to send you a thank you note for the Photon Micro-Light. Chris and I
took a trip up to SF on Wednesday evening, and it sure came in
handy! As we walked into the office, the alarm went off and the
light switch was nowhere in sight… my Photon to the rescue! The mail
server in SR uses a 1 Gigabit Network Interface Card. When we got
all the servers up, we realized that there was not connection light
on the switch for the mail server. There might have been a chance
that there might have been a break in the fiber optic glass. Since
we don’t have a fiber tester, I pulled out my Photon and shined it
through both pieces of fiber optic glass. We were able to determine
that the glass was fine and we then focused our attention on the NIC.

Here is
yet another testimonial for you. I’ve had a red Photon II for about
eight months now and it is my constant companion. I’ve used it to
read books on late night road-trips, to find dozens of small things
hidden in dark corners, to illuminate odd spaces, and even as a
signal light. When I bike home at night, I clip it to my bike as a
taillight. At White Sands National Monument, I duct-taped it to the
underside of a Frisbee to play at night. In a night luminary parade
in Scotland I used it to light my huge paper lantern when the candle
finally burned out.
Recently, I rebuilt the engine in my 1973 VW van. That engine has a
metal shroud that is held together with innumerable little screws.
One of the screws fell into an intake port on my cylinder head and
vanished. I fished around for it with a magnet on a long rod, to no
avail. Then I thought to lower the Photon down into the engine.
Presto --- Problem Solved. I could see the screw clearly and soon
fished it out.
I’m so happy with mine, I’ve ordered 25 more to give to all my
friends this holiday. Thanks!

While on
holiday in the states a few weeks ago I bought a Photon Micro-Light
in a shop in Seattle. I am more than pleased with my purchase – It
is really terrific. My only mistake is that I should have bought
another two for members of my family.

Dear
L.R.I.
This is to let you know that your Photon Micro-Lights are making a
difference in peoples lives. Last year I sold a few Photons to a
young man who works at a local dairy. It turns out that he is from a
small village in Mexico that is without electricity. He gave his
aging mother a Photon, which has changed her life. No longer does
she have to fumble to light a candle when rising at night to visit
the privy. She now can make the trip in comfort in the wind or rain
and not fear on treading on some creature of the night. She says
that her Photon is the best thing that has happened to her since her
marriage. My young friend has now acquired a dozen more Photons to
take down on his next trip home.
On his way home this last trip he was actually accosted by a bandito
and robbed of his valuables. And guess what? That bandito relieved
him of not only his wallet and pocketknife but demanded his Photon
as well.
You guys make a helluva product and it is being noticed. My motto!
No key chain without a Photon!
Keep up the good work.

I gave
Photons as gifts during our vacation to New Zealand and they were

It really is a great product; it is so unique and functional.

It’s a
real pleasure to find the Photon II has taking the crown in the race
of who makes the best micro light. The Photon II is the best light
I’ve found on the market today!! It is made with hi-quality plastic,
it is super bright and it is small enough to carry always. I am glad
to see some things in this world are NEW and IMPROVED.

I just
purchased a Photon Micro-Light II and I just have to tell you that
this is the coolest flashlight I have ever owned! I am so impressed
with the features/specifications of this flashlight that I felt the
need to write you a letter. I purchased the white colored
illumination. The actual color, it seems to me, is like the very
expensive “arc-discharge” type bulbs found on hi-end luxury cars
like BMW and Mercedes, kind of bluish white. I love this color! The
size and weight are perfect! The intensity is fantastic! The switch
features are excellent! I am also very impressed that it is screwed
together instead of “snapped together”.
Thanks for the great product!

I am
writing this note to let you know I have purchased several Photon
Micro-Lights and have recently purchased a Photon II with on and off
switch. I have bought a lot of flashlights over the years, but none
surpassed the satisfaction your product has given me. The quality
and exceptional brightness exceed the standard of any other
flashlight I have owned in the past. I think that you have a
wonderful product and I am extremely satisfied with it and I wish to
express my satisfaction to you.

I bought
my Photon Micro-Light last year and I love it. As a realtor it
really comes in handy in dark places, finding light switches and
other things. I carry it all the time on my key chain or in my
pocket.

Photon
lights are a great gift because when I give it to someone, I know
they will always remember what Joe gave them whenever they see it on
their key chain or coat zipper. I can honestly say for the money you
spend on a Photon Micro-Light you will never regret it, because I
know I use mine every night

A close
friend of mine purchased an item from your company a few months ago;
I was so impressed with the product I offered to buy it from him.
The products name was Photon Micro-Light. He wouldn’t sell me his,
he said I should call L.R.I and get my own,

I
understand and am impressed by the lengths that your company and
great employees have gone to, to satisfy me a consumer, concerning
my Photon light. I have a greater approbation for your fine product
and your great company. The light works as well as it did when I
first purchased it, if not better!
Thank you for not neglecting your products after they leave the
store.

WOW!
Hehehehe… That was my first comment when I saw a friend’s Photon II
– they sell themselves.
As an engineer (and at one time an electronics tech) the first thing
I did, of course, when I bought my Photon II white was to dismantle
it. I’m impressed: well designed, efficiently laid out, excellent
choice of materials (the filled poly is an especially good choice
for the case). The Photon light stomps the other micro lights I’ve
seen into the ground and doesn’t even work up a sweat doing it.
Thanks for a solid product.

First I
really honestly couldn’t put it into words how much I enjoy your
Photon Micro-Light. The convenience and the amount of light it
throws out are incredible.

Over the
past forty years, I have tried many dozens of different key-chain
lights, all of which failed with short “pocket-life” or short use. I
just bought one of your Photon II Micro-Lights and I am most
impressed with its compactness, sturdiness, on/off switch and
squeeze operation, high efficiency LED and long-life lithium power
cell. “Finally”, it is exactly what I’ve been wanting for forty
years!

I have
had my red Photon light for 3 years. I use it daily in my job to
check product lines to see if there is material in them or not. I
have yet to have it fail me in any way. I am really curious to see
just how long the original battery is going to last. This is the
best bang for the buck I can ever remember having!

I
started my relationship with your company several years ago by
purchasing a red and a yellow Photon. Now I own every color that you
make in both the Photon and Photon II. I work in Private
Investigation and use each color for many specific tasks… especially
on night surveillance. I use the different colors with my partner
sitting two blocks away: blue means movement, white is coffee run,
etc. etc. I love the size and durability of these little wonders. I
also volunteer as emergency rescue personnel.

The
long, rambling, relatively unimportant stuff: I bought your Photon
Micro-Light in Seattle. I loved it to death. I bought one for my
father; I bought one for everyone in my wedding party. I bought one
for my brother.
Then the bad stuff started happening: though all four of the guys in
my wedding party said that their lights continue to work swell, my
light, my brothers and my fathers started to do this annoying thing
where they come on when they aren’t being squeezed. I replaced the
batteries in mine twice, but only ended up only getting about three
weeks life out of the thing (because it was going on by itself so
much).
I’m sending you mine in hopes of getting a replacement.
My brother has zero tolerance for any mechanical malfunctions and he
threw his into the Pacific near Rincon (a great though crowded surf
break in between Ventura and Santa Barbara).
My dad says that his isn’t working but he hasn’t thrown his into the
Pacific. He has a little patience. So I guess I’m also asking you if
you’ll send me a functional light to give to my father. I’ll send
his to you when I get yours. My brother is too damned impatient – he
doesn’t deserve to get a replacement. He shouldn’t have thrown the
thing into the Pacific.
Finally I checked with all the guys in the wedding party, they said
that they were amazed at how often you use a flashlight you just
happen to have on your key chain. Jorge said “ You know, I would
have just stumbled into something in the dark, or struggled to read
something in the dark, but with this thing always in my pocket, that
doesn’t happen any more.”
Frankly, I was very stoked with my light too, till it started to not
work.
The short version (the important stuff): Wow, what a long rambling
letter. To summarize: please send me one replacement light for me,
and one for my father. I’m enclosing my old light.
I’m best man in a wedding 3 weeks from now, and well I think that I
should get lights for all six other guys who are standing up at the
wedding. Got any volume discounts?

I bought
two Photon Micro-Lights yesterday. What an excellent product. The
light output relative to size has to be seen to be believed.
Additionally impressive is the fact it is not disposable—many thanks
for a product with a future for the purchaser, and for helping
eliminate unnecessary waste.

My
Photon has served me well. When lost in the wood after dark it
brought me home, when my keys were lost it helped me find them and
when confronted by a mugger it blinded him long enough for me to
thwart him. I just bought my wife and children each one for their
key rings.

I love
my Photon light very much, as it has helped me late at night when

to have it in my pocket in case of emergency.

I
thought you would like to know that your prototype took a whipping
and still keeps shining. The prototype looks a little rugged now but
it still works. The Photon is one of the best lighting product
innovations to come along in a long time. I bought a new Photon
light and thought you would like your original back for your
showcase. I bought a new Photon because it is the handiest,
smallest, strongest and brightest little light I have seen. It
doesn’t get in the way of anything on my key chain. I’ve never seen
anything like it of such good quality. Good job and best wishes in
the future.

I used
my Fusion last year during my 3 shifts at County Fair while working
as an RN for Whitebird. Then in the summer as a headlamp for bike
riding. Thanks for a wonderful light and a great company. I cannot
imagine any other product replacing the Fusion for all of my work
coming up this spring and summer and intend to use it to its fullest
capacity

As of
this moment, I have purchased 11 Photon products and have never been
disappointed in any of them. Your products and commitment to service
for the customer are second to none. They exemplify the best in care
for product quality and commitment to customer satisfaction.
Whenever I communicate with your people, I always get a feeling of
welcome and of something akin to belonging. The Freedom is the best
Photon yet, with no doubt. It is difficult to imagine what you might
come up with next, to out do this creation. But then I thought the
Photon 3 was top notch, as well.

To Whom It May Concern:
Have had my Photon Fusion going on two years now, and have really
grown to love it. I got it for outdoor activity use, but have found
myself using it all of the time around the house in places I never
imagined (under the sink during plumbing repairs, etc.). By the way,
I really enjoy my Photon Micro-light 3 too. I will have to get
myself one of the new Photon Freedom Micro’s one of these days.
Thank you for such a great products.

Just
wanted to say hi and let you know how great the market is receiving
the Freedom in my area. It seems to be perfect light. Fishermen love
the new clip. Hunters like the brightness control and the S.O.S.
Tactical people like the brightness control and the covert option.
Something for everyone.
