Here is an item I want to love. The design is svelte. The concept seems well executed with a variety of lighting modes tucked into something so compact. Yet I cannot recommend the Photon Freedom as highly as others do.
Let's start with the good. The Freedom features several modes of operation. A single squeeze turns the light on at full brightness. From here one may continue to squeeze. The light will smoothly dim to a very low beam, perfect for personal reading in a tent. Keep squeezing and the light will begin blinking in patterns including SOS and discotheque. Battery life is very efficient and the device weighs virtually nothing. The kit even includes a very handy pivoting, magnetic hat clip!
So what's the problem? Twice I've had these lights just cease to function, owing to a failure in the squeeze button. They just stopped working. If the problem had not occurred twice, I would have considered it a fluke. Too bad, cause they seem to be so well rounded, efficient, and affordable.
