Does anyone know if this is a multi-mode light with at least 2 power levels.
Looking at the specs on their web page -
* Up to 180 Lumens
* Burn time up to 4-5 hours
On a single CR-123?
You have to push more than 700 ma. through a Rebel-100 to get 180 lumens and with the boost converter inefficiency, that would equate to maybe 1.5 hours at full power on a 1400mAH CR-123.
Does the light have a lower power mode or are they are just BULLS#!TING everyone by rating the tail end of a long slopeing fall off just before it becomes totally useless?
I hope this light has at least 2 power levels, because not having a lower power mode on a light rated at 180 lumens would be insanely stupid, and make the light almost useless for close in jobs like reading a map at night or working on something at close quarters in the dark.
My Jetbeam C-LE saved my skin one night, by letting me get up under my dash and change a fuse, but I found that I had to kick it down to MEDIUM, to be able to properly see everything comfortably because HIGH was throwing way too much light (and the C-LE is only rated for 80 lumens on HIGH). In fact to look at something real close, even the LOW mode puts out more than enough light.
I like the build quality on the Nuwai lights, but if this one doesn't have at least High and Low power levels (with low about 20-40 lumens), then that's a show stopper for me.
