Planterz ... how do you like your Fenix L0P. You throw all your ARC's away after you got it? Also, doesn't your photon freedoms turn on accidently in your pocket? mind always do.
Nice setup!
Nice setup!
No pics this time but I always have the following on me for keychains.
Car/Home/Work keys + Nite glowring. On beltloop clip on the right
If I don't have a tool box or backpack with me (depending on where I am and what I'm doing) other keys + Leatherman Squirt p4 and Peak Matterhorn 3 LED light both on breakaway rings, clipped onto left belt loop.
They are all light and usually tucked into my pocket a little. Nothing makes any noise or weighs me down. I can't even tell they're there but I can grab any of them quickly. Also being clipped to a belt loop...they leave plenty of room in my right front pocket for a spyderco manix and a money clip/credit card holder in the left.

I'm still a bit up in the air about the L0P vs. the Arc. The L0P is a bit bigger, but not enough to make a difference to me. The beam is definitely better. White, rather than with a blue spot and a pukey yellow flood (it looks blue in the picture, but it's sitting on a blue sheet), and 2-3 times brighter. However, it's got about 1/5th the runtime (about an hour instead of 5). Not a big deal with NiMHs cost-wise, but there's definitely something comforting about the Arc's rutime. The brightness is a bit moot for me, since I've always got my HDS B42XR on me anyway, so the long rutime of the Arc is still a contender. The main reason the L0P subplanted the Arc on my keyring is that I get sick of cleaning gunk out of the Arc's reflector, and the L0P has a lens.RyanMalpiede said:
I keep the Photon on signal mode (press the button several times, and it'll only work on momentary unless you hold it again for several seconds), so it doesn't keep turning on. The violet is pretty much useless as a light source (especially with the Fenix or Arc also on the keychain). I use it for money authentication and for the S&G factor (sh*ts and giggles).
