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 same light. If there's no ambient light brighter than a moon or night light, the dim mode is bright enough for about a 5ft distance for me. If I've gone fully night-adapted, the dim mode is good for a large area. It has a relatively narrow pattern (center spot and weak flood) so it has decent throw so the "half a candle" has some reach. Some rough measurements put the spot at a 20deg beam and the spilled flood at 70. The bright mode can show me about a whole garage bay or bedroom. Again, we're talking in very dark situations, not streetlit areas or lamp-lit rooms. If there's that much light around, I'll need the bright mode for areas and use the dim mode for closeups in shadows.
