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 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.
