That here the '123' batteries are used, it is first time to get used to (because rare and therefore not used).
Since these lithium batteries but have virtually no self-discharge, this lamp is also after a long period of inactivity time still operational.
I still only 4 stars awarded, has to do with that person but I lack an ECO mode, so a 'braked' with a luminosity. That would probably extend the burn time but significantly.
To illuminate the walk times or to find the keyhole, this is normal (and only) light mode not necessary that strength.
In the enclosed mini-description gives the impression that you would 2 light modes. Probably there is a leaflet with standard 08/15 Text for all models of this manufacturer.
Addendum: Today (10/07/2010) night about 3:00 I have after the storm from my balcony on the 1st floor (5m high) hinuntergeleuchtet in the yard, to detect any changes.
The lamp lights up a corner of the yard (ca. 90 m²) completely. At each corner of the court such a lamp, and would 'daylight' illuminated.
It is impressive!
As one of the previous reviewers mentioned: Due to the long shelf-life, or Selbstentladedauer, the batteries will this mean 'take-along' lantern.
