It's worth the effort for me. As I said to Hacksaw, it can be used as a one mode on-off flashlight if desired. I don't see how pushing a button a second or third time for longer runtime mode is much effort. To each their own.

I will have a review with pictures of the lights and beam shots on the wall and back yard up tonight on CPF. I will include the Gerber for comparison and post a link back to the review tonight.

I am also going to test to see how long the lights will run on low power. I suspect this light will last for more than 150 hours on one AA battery, so you should check back in a week or two for an update.
