LRI PII PRO Beam LED Light, White

XLNT. I'm really impressed with the PII Pro. It's the brightest light of this size I've tried, and it throws a nice beam, hot in the center but with some spread, amazing and very useful output for such a tiny thing.I just gave up on another brand with a switch that just wouldn't stay off, and was thus too annoying to carry. This one is perfect for the key 'biner. This has a quality look and feel, easily worth the extra bucks over cheap generic versions for carry. Nothing sucks like needing light and lacking it; carry at least one quality light at all times. I got a bunch of the little cheapies to scatter around in cars and toolbags and such, but it makes sense to carry a good one.I'll post an update if it ever fails or does anything wrong, but so far the PII Pro seems pretty ideal.As others have said, it ships in demo mode, which turns off automatically after a few seconds to save battery. You have to hold down the button for twenty seconds, till the light turns off, to get it out of demo mode, if you want to be able to actually use it. It's just tragic that some reviewers here couldn't figure that out without so much needless suffering. RTFM, kids.There's absolutely no function to this light but off/on; no strobe, dimmer, and no ability to do Morse code, because of the electronic switch. The instructions are: Press button for On/Off. That's it. That's fine with me; I don't know any Morse code apart from SOS anyway... I sort of assumed that because this light has a microprocessor, it would know some tricks or dim or something, but nope. It's a small, bright white light, with a demo mode. Period.It also comes with a little plastic holder "docking station" strung on a garrotte, I mean a thin cord. Not something I'd wear around my neck, but whatever, it's an option. You can store the light clipped to it one way for access, the other way to prevent the switch from being hit.Good gear, get at least one!

Not sure what else I can say that hasn't already been said but this tiny light is surprisingly bright and easy to use. I like that the battery is replaceable (uses on CR 2016 "button" battery) and the overall quality of the build. This little light is super handy to have around for all sorts of things (my girlfriend keeps one in the bathroom to check the status of the toilet before sitting down when nature calls late at night). I'm going to reiterate another reviewer's helpful instructions about the light shipping in "Demo Mode" (which turns the light off automatically after 12 seconds) because that was really irritating me. A good thought since it will prevent the battery from being drained accidentally during shipping but annoying until this feature is turned off. To turn off Demo Mode: Press and hold the "ON" button until the light goes off by itself; this takes about 20 seconds. Once that happens the switch is one press for "ON" and another press for "OFF", just as you would expect. Thanks, Other Reviewer, who's name I forgot!

Better quality than convenience store cheapies. Minimal pocket bulk, bright LED, good battery life, strong case. Does occasionally turn on accidentally in my pocket.I use it to locate my dog's poop when I walk him at night. You don't wanna scoop in the dark, believe me. Alternate uses regularly present themselves, so I get a lot of utility from this light.

I love this little light, I clip it to my keys and I am never in the dark. It is sturdy, small and powerful. I got this light to replace one that I had on my keychain that broke and was no longer fixable. I liked this one so well, I bought 10 more to give to my family and friends.One of the things I like about it is that it is very durable, I don't have to worry about it breaking. The other thing I like is that it is small enough that I can carry it in my pocket on my key chain and not know it is there until I need it. The last thing I like is how bright it is. I can not say enough about how much I like this little light. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a small light.

Pros: Super cheap, bright enough in an emergency, extremely small/light, just about indescructible.Cons: Not rechargeable.An earlier version of this light was the first everyday carry flashlight I purchased. At the time, it was revolutionary. After about 15 years, it finally wore out. When I replaced it, I decided to include this version to compare it against some competitors. It is no longer revolutionary.My advice, check out a slightly more expensive competitor of similar size / weight: the Nitecore Tube 45. Being rechargeable and brighter, I think its worth the price difference. That said, I still like this light.Pre-smart phone, it's predecessor helped me avoid walking into a few walls during power outages :)

The LRI PII Pro Beam LED light is an absolutely fantastic product. In my opinion the beam is tremendous for such a tiny device, and the ease of operation is...well...easy. When I first received the light I did as another reviewer suggested and held down on the activating button for about 20 seconds. The light then shut itself off. Now all I have to do in order to manually turn the light on and off is to simply push the device's back side button for "on," and once again for "off." Couldn't be simpler!As I mentioned previously, the beam of light is tremendous! Don't go expecting 200 lumens; but for most low light applications requiring a smidgen of light the Photon II is far and away more than adequate. I clip mine to my keychain and have discovered that I tend to use it a lot more than I originally anticipated. It seems rugged enough, too. My two cents: I don't think there is a better inexpensive and unobtrusive mini flashlight out there.
