You use a flashlight to read menus in restaurants?
They don't have lamp fixtures in Canada?
Sounds more like a night club than a restaurant if you need a light for the menu. :/

I was thinking of getting the MD2 but ordered the Elzetta with the Hi/Lo switch......It's built like a tank, takes Malkoff drop-ins, made in US, has momentary, 2 stage, and it's cheaper than a MD2. High is 235Lumens and lo is around 15lumens IIRC.
Hi Belstaff1464- I did look at the Elzetta online but went with the MD2. Glad to hear you like it. I believe it's well received. I like the look of the MD2 more IIRC but I'll have to look at them again. Thanks.
A sigle model is not convenient ,sometimes and someplaces we need different models .We have to buy several lights if we use sigle modelIt depends.
For example, beacon mode can be used to find your car at night in a big parking lot (obviously you leave the flashlight inside the vehicle).
Strobe can very effectively signal someone in daylight in a sports stadium or across a soccer field.
Low level is perfect for blackouts.
Ideally there would be a button to press for each mode because cycling through all the modes you don't want at the moment will make you crazy. (Trust me.)
In general ,non-Flashaholics would't to buy different flashlights for different use conditions ,people would to do this are Flashaholics .Depends on the light's purpose.
On-duty I have my Malkoff MD2 on my belt. It gets me tons of light, fast. No fumbling around with extra modes and what not.
I also carry my 4Sevens Preon clipped to my pocket (soon to be a ZL SC30 :naughty: ). The low-low is good for use around station, like getting up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night without waking up my partner.
I'm really looking forward to the SC30 for having quick access to both my High and low-low modes without having to shuffle through a bunch of modes I don't want. What's the point of a low if you have to flash the high first to get it?
I doubt the MD2 will leave my belt, though.

remember: option = good; commies + fascism = bad.
in Russia they had 1 bread for the people . . .
It's the other way round for me. Where's the "fun" in having to carry or switch to another light just because its too darn bright(or weak) for the purpose that you need it for.![]()
Exactly.Multi modes are important when you want get the "right light" for the right task and preserve the battery.
Of course,Multi Modes has important signficant,we need different lumens in different places.You need to buy several flashlights if you use sigle flashlight,but non-Flashaholic wouldn't do this .So,buy a Multi Modes flashlight should be more suitable to them .Very glad to come to CPFI've re-discovered the single mode flashlight. Is there any significant need for more?
