A couple of the small Photon III LED lights are also a godsend as they last forever and ride on your dog tag chain and will burn for 96 hours straight before a new battery is needed. I have carried em for years on lanyards and key chains and have yet to have to change a battery using them to find something in the dark. Photon even makes one for GI's now in a red stealth model......

Just an update, but they now make the Micro Photon, which has a computer chip in it. Press the front of the case for regular use. Press and hold the back of the case, and it cycles through three different intensities, and three kinds of strobe effects. It also has a collar around the side of the LED so it only lights up what's in front of you, and not everything to the sides. Colors include red, white, and colors compatible with NVGs.

I believe the Photon III is the one with the chip as mine does as you stated. The "S" version is for stealth thus the ring to shield the view of the light from the side. They are awesome little point of use lights indeed !

Stay Safe !!!
