TR, any particular reason you use both a Photon II and III? I'm not so keen on the IIs switch for constant on/off, and I like the strobe and intensity settings on the III. Have you ever tried the IR Photon? I wonder if its strong enough to use as an emergency strobe for signalling a/c. Also, I've heard rave reviews for the Tikka 4 headlamp; what do you like about the Fusion?

Photon II (White) is my pocket light. It is much more water resistant than the Photon III, since the III is chip controlled, and the white light is good for color differentiation.
The Photon III (Red) is on my dogtag chain. It is my quick tactical light for map checks, freq changes, CEOI checks, etc. It also has the strobe modes for signalling. I have heard that you should not use white or yellow for signalling as it tends to look like ground fire.
Have not tried the IR, but it should work for signalling if you are in the open. Under canopy, I doubt it.
Not sure about the Tikka 4, but the Tikka and Tikka Plus do not provide the light of the Fusion, do not have red LEDs built in, do not have the range of lighting options of the Fusion, nor the flexibility of the Fusion for different lighting tasks. Check out the details and reviews of the Fusion.
HTH.
