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.

I'm interested in this form factor - flat slightly curved is probably the best battery size v pocket real estate trade off. I also have a keen interest in compromising charging for IP water ratings - since I've now killed two Aurora A5's in the washing machine.

I bought it specifically because of it's shape and it lives in my pocket next to my Leatherman (which is why it has so much wear). Battery life is fantastic and using it even while swimming has caused 0 damage.

Can't recommend putting it through a washing machine as the washing machine might suffer some serious damage.

Also people frequently assume it's a knife which leads to some interesting conversations.
