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.

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.
