I own, and often carry, a lot of lights. The i1R2 probably hasn’t got the most hours on it, but in terms of the number of times it gets turned on, it’s by far the winner.

    Not an answer, but a question.

    OP, what do you use the 5 lumen mode on that flashlight for? Isn’t that like half a candle?

      Embarrassingly, a common use is reading small print when I don’t have, or can’t be bothered putting on, my reading glasses - so I guess the answer is to illuminate close up things. The second most common use is finding a keyhole in the dark.

      The most common use of the high mode is when people say ‘oh wow, is that a torch?’ and I immediately blind them with it because I’m cool like that.

      Not OP, but I use the 0.5 lumen mode on my lights to see with dark adapted vision. I really like to have a 1 lumen or lower mode on most of my smaller lights.
