This light feels great in the hand and is a well-crafted tool. The light has four brightness levels. When I first got the light, it would cycle through the four light modes Starting from the lowest setting every time. Recently it has been starting from the last used brightness setting. While I like this functionality better, the fact that it has changed is a little concerning. Also, if you cycle through the modes too quickly the light will shut off and won’t turn on unless I give it a thwack against the palm of my hand.
5 stars for carryability and usefulness. 2 stars for reliability.
CrumdogIt has a memory mode that will allow it to start up in whatever brightness level you were last using: click the tail cap (or just bump it) 8 times (I think its 8, might be less, but it doesn't matter, bump it a few) and the light will flash a few times telling you it swapped to memory mode. Cycling through the modes is the same, it just starts wherever it was when you turned it off.
