    These seem to be as good as any I have used. MUCH better value than Photon Microlights though.

    I have found the photon to be amazing, Really bright,iv had it about 3 years and its been dropped in water and all sorts, and only replaced the batteries once. i think mines was about £9.

    At 1,99 dollar you'r paying to much. You might as well order 10 pieces for 4,68 dollar that is shipping included: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.1253 (they are a lit slow in shipping though...

    Carried LED fob light continuously for last 5/6 years - on keys etc.

    Liked Innova a lot, but frequently found then switching on accidentally and dead when needed. Arguably this is a function of podgy thighs & stuffed pockets rather than design fault!

    Used about half a dozen different brands and have to say favourite is the photon - happy to pay for something thats there when needed. Not convinced the 'singing and dancing' Freedom Photon et al worth while - but again agruably function of podgy fingers and zero co-ordination! But bog standard version works for me.

    Going now to wander about bumping into things and contemplate podginess

    Well I think the Fenix L0D CE is very good. It is a bit bigger then the AAA battery it uses. Might be too big for you, but I carry it at all times. It's actually still very very small and light.
    Can be got at a good price at
    http://fenix-store.com/index.php?cPa...4a9b251036c5f0

    because of the weak dollar and the free shipping
    The Fenix E0 is cheaper but from what I've heard also very good quality.

    A bit bigger the L1D and L2D are very good too... but you asked for a keychain light

    The freebie one on the Christmas mag was great. Didn't cost a penny (on top of the mag cost) and is still going ok.

    Is this any good to you;

    can be had a little cheaper if you want ten of them. For some reason the LED on my freebie one fried so I stuck the LED from one of these in. Allsorts of lighty-up things on the site, might be worth a little bit a trawl.

    My uncle works as a bus driver and they are supplied with a tiny (just a bit bigger than 50p piece) cat1 laser led light to check the water level on the late shift. extremely bright even more so than my maglite . I'll have a look next time he is around to find out the make but i think he can get them from the garage for next to nothing or at least find out where they purchase them from. I'll keep you posted
