A few days ago, my wife and her mother were walking on a small town sidewalk just after dark, when an elderly man in front of them, stumbled and then fell into the street. My wife jumped into the street to flag traffic while others assessed the situation before helping the man to his feet. My wife realized she was wearing black and picked up the man's hat (and it's white liner) to flag approaching cars. I thought this was pretty quick thinking on her part. I wish, though, that she'd have had my Photon Freedom (and its strobe.) I hope Fenix keeps the strobe (and the SOS.)
Let it be known, that I am also one of those wanting a much lower low. 5 lumens or lower. Looong runtime.
These things said, for the size, weight and internet price of the Photon Freedom, there is no reason not to have one with you as a backup to anything else you might carry. Really low low. Strobe. SOS. I hope Fenix will give us the same in 1AAA and 1AA lights.
