Some here can’t imagine what a light such as that is like.

They don’t know that “regulated” means it doesn’t dim as the battery is drained, it stays the same throughout the life of the battery.

They also don’t know that your light burns at 10 lumens which is close to mom’s old 2 D-cell flashlight in brightness, and that it does it for 50 hours! Not bad for being stuck on an elevator, or in a 10 day blackout.

Not everyone here has ever seen a flashlight that burns at 180 lumens, yet yours has the option to do that, and it does it for 2.5 hours. That means you are carrying a serious searchlight and/or a 10 day lantern/regular flashlight on your belt.

I love EDC, and being prepared.

I hear ya. At first I thought the $2 LED flashlight I got from Harbor Freight was enough, but I really like the Streamlight for the subtle stuff.

Hey, I own 8 bicycles, I am a gear freak and I believe in the right tool for the job. I have no remorse for this purchase, like I said it has already made me a stud in the eyes of She Who Must Be Obeyed, and that is worth a mountain of things I shoulda woulda coulda done ;)
