10 lumens on low

If you search the forum, there is a secret low low beam that you can activate.

Run that on a rcr123 and it's a screamer on high! Every bit as bright as my 200 lumen E2DL.

I can't seem to find that particular thread at the moment either, but some of these tailswitches may have had a "feature/bug" where additional resistance in the circuit could (temporarily) further reduce the low output....

IIRC both of these outputs were understated, I seem to recall that a high of 100 lumens and a low of 20 lumens were closer to the mark with fresh cells. :shrug:
My thought is the following thread - from what I understand, L1's don't seem to exhibit this behavior until they have tailcap resistance settings of 20+ ohms instead of the stock 10 ohm tailswitch? :shrug:x2

Based on the reported behavior, maybe it somehow "doubles through" the resistor ... :thinking:
