Five levels of brightness:

1. Firefly - long press side button then release. Bright enough during pitch darkness while camping. Will last for many days during survival mode if, God forbid, lost in the woods. Short click to turn off.

2. Low - quick click to turn on then release. Long press and hold while the light is on to cycle through the low, medium, and high setting. Release the button at desired setting at low brightness. Quick click to turn off. Quick click to turn on and it will automatically go to your last setting, which this time is low. Bright enough for everyday typical periodic usage and the battery will last for weeks.

3. Medium - follow the same steps to set as above #2.

4. High - same steps as #2.

5. Turbo - short click the tail button to turn on. Don't recommend leaving it on for more then a minute due to the high heat created from the concentrated light. If used at this setting for longer durations, it will automatically go to a lower brightness level. *(Repeated longer periods at the turbo mode will shorten the life of the flashlight due to repetitive high heat.) Lightly press the tail button without clicking to turn on but will turn off upon releasing the button.

Suggestions:
1. attach the clip 90° to the side button where your fingers and thumb can touch the clip when holding the flashlight, while the button is pointed upwards for easy access for your thumb. So the next time you want to use the light, you will always know where the button is in relation to the clip if it's dark.

2. Place the flashlight in the holster with the side power button pointing towards the side of the holster to minimize accidental activation of the flashlight, such as when pressing against your body or external source.

3. Place a small round paper cutout between the battery and the contact if it will not be used for a long duration such as days or weeks. This will prevent drainage of power and possible leakage of fluid if stored for months.

This flashlight is the smallest one that I own with the most illumination. Its ability to throw the beam at a distance is another feature not available in other flashlights.

It provides the best of both worlds from the lowest practical light level, Firefly mode, to the brightest beam, Turbo mode, if distance illumination is necessary. It's an excellent flashlight for law enforcement, military (not during actual combat due to the lack of a red filter) or emergency personnel.

As with anything, care should be observed if you desire long-term usage.
