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.
I was wondering the other day how many lumen the 1.5V incandescent flashlights from when I was a kid would have been. Maybe 5-7 on a new battery? If I need to walk around the house at night, the moonlight mode on any of my lights is fine.
