Works as described by Dianne (Trinidad, West Indies)  5 Stars
September 11, 2009
Bright, lightweight and holds charge for months with moderate usage. It is easily recharged, just follow the instructions precisely. I own two and both are working very well. Don't fully discharge the battery and charge with no more than 3 volts. Runtime is about 30-45 minutes at maximum brightness. I really like this micro-light.

Incredibly bright 5 Stars
July 20, 2009
This is an amazing little light. Sometime around the turn of the century I modified a Photon keychain light for my watch band. I upgraded it when they changed to the brighter Freedom model. I wouldn't be without the Photon on my watch band, but it isn't perfect. It is enough of a nuisance to change the batteries that I let it get a little dim. And I sometimes need more light.
A ReX is now on my keychain. I still go to my wrist if I need a quick light, but the ReX is a full blown flashlight in my pocket that is always at full charge. It puts out an amazing amount of light for its size. I have several flashlights around my house with 8 LEDs that take 3 AAA cells. The little ReX is not only tiny by comparison but it is brighter. It also has a more pleasant warm light. The beam is a wide flood with decent throw. I like the large switch button. And did I mention how bright it is?
Recharging is easy. You put two rare earth magnets on the poles of a battery and a little adapter snaps magnetically onto two small contacts on the ReX. It puts out tiny blinks until it is charged. I use a rechargeable NiMH battery, but you can use any standard battery that isn't over 3v.
I seldom use the modes on my Freedom and haven't had occasion to do anything but check them out on the ReX. It might be useful to use a lower intensity if you needed a long burn time. And the strobe might be handy if you had to get someone's attention - just hope they aren't epileptic.
About the only time I don't have my keys in my pocket is when I am on my boat. So I put another ReX on the boat keys with a quick disconnect. I just wish it was small enough to put on my watch band.
Get one - you won't be disappointed.

Item i recieved was defective by Ronald Vincent  1 Stars
June 10, 2009
An a loyal amazon shopper, I expect quality proucts from the vendors that sell their product through the website. I know some sometimes you'll receive something that is not working properly. I am writing this review because the product I received was defective. The product is the photon rex key chain light. It worked for almost a month and stopped working. So I sent it back to Amazon LLC to see if they can resolve this issue..........

Great Rechargeable Microlight by Menace915 (El Paso) 5 Stars
June 03, 2009
You might think this microlight is a bit overpriced, but considering that it is rechargeable, it is well worth the expense.
Consider this: The Photon Freedom, also from LRI, costs $13.20 plus shipping. For $10 more, you get a microlight that has 3 more LEDs, and that can charge up to 500 times from almost any common household battery: AA, AAA, C, D, etc. So rather than spending money buying the annoying button cells such as the 2032's and 2016's, you can simply hook up this little Photon Rex and have it charged in about 3 hours.
**According to the package, charging the REX using a D-cell battery costs 6 cents per charge!**
Pros:
-Has 4 LEDs instead of 1, thus it is MUCH brighter than traditional keychain lights/microlights. It outperforms my other Photon light as well as my Streamlight NANO and my INOVA microlight.
-It comes equpped with FREEDOM technology. For those not familiar with this, it means that you can press down on the on/off button and hold it down, and it will gradually brighten up or dim itself to your desired level of brightness. It will blink when the maximum brightness is achieved. If you keep holding the button down past the blink, you will the progress to the equipped SOS, slow beacon, and strobe modes.
-It has two magnetic poles on the back, to which you easily attach the charger. Instructions are very simple to follow, and the charger works with almost any common household battery.
-It has a strong keychain clip that will secure your light without fear of losing it.
-It can be recharged 500 times.
-The button glows in the dark, making it easy to find.
CONs:
-The button is a bit hard to press down on, but you can easily get used to it.
-Since it has 4 LEDs, it is a bit bigger than the other Photon lights and other traditional microlights. This is not really a problem to me, but if you're interested in a tiny light, you might want to consider a different microlight. The Photon Freedom is a good option.
-You will need a battery that has magnetic positive and negative poles to hook up the charger. If the poles are not magnetic, you will have to find another battery.
Overall this is a wonderful little light. Despite its minor flaws I still gave it 5 stars because of its functionality, rechargeability, easy of use, and brightness (it's VERY bright for its size, it easily blows away those cheap multiple LEDs flashlights, and it sure blows away most other microlights!)
