i LOVE a flashlight with multimodes. LOVE!

ever try to light up a plan-sheet (or trail map) with a modern LED flashlight? you will not be able to..and the impending blue orb floating in front of you eyes in the dark will eventually fade. i NEED the dimming feature on my flashlights and headlamps. plus there are sometimes you just want a faint light..like hiking in the dark. you dont need much light to not bust your ass, and it is nice to save some power.

strob? okay. i dont ever imagine myself trying to disorient a perp, but i imagine that strob would be superior as signaling my rescue chopper.
