Calling Steripen Freedom Users

No one here uses a Steripen Freedom? :( <— sad, not angry.

I have one. But I have not yet had a chance to find out about your question. I think if you aren't prone to throwing your pack spinning like a football that you will have an issue. Rotate it too fast and it does not turn on. Same with too slow. Did I influence the Gear Enabler?

I have used my Steripen Freedom more for more dayhikes and runs than overnights but I am not aware of the light ever accidentally turning (and have not had any mysterious 'out of battery' situations that make me think it did turn on). I have a friend was also has a Freedom who has not had this problem either.

The Frredom has been one of the better gear additions I have made in the past 12 months –

Thanks, Charles, that's reassuring.

Ken — your gear whoring is a bad influence on everyone! :)

Curious — have either of you used the flashlight at night? Is it bright enough to you?

I have only turned the light on at home (it was harder to get it to come on than I thought it would be) – didn't really ever consider using it for anything and probably have only turned it on 2 or 3 times so my opinion is close to worthless but I remember it as 'keychain led type brightness'… Certainly not anything that made me think my small backup flashlight was coming out of my kit.

T's a shame, isn't it? But I think I like everything else about my new Steripen Freedom. Time to sell my old Steripen Adventurer.
