Actually, the new white Photon has been flowing through many dealers (as long as they have had minimal stock turnover) for the past few months. In fact, the new white is the only one available in the keyring model. If you want the lanyard-specific model, they are still available for a limited time in the older wide-beam pattern. The new beam is more focused (20º vs the older 30º) and has a better output due to the focus. The older version put out 1.82 candela v. the new one at 20.00 candela. No change in battery life, just a much more user friendly light.

I too like the Photon with all it's standard features much better than the EE version, but I've been selling them for a few years, so I probably have a bias. Or something.

My 2¢.
