Good torch the size / quality / price ratio is very good. This torch is perfect to fit in a purse or a handbag. And illuminates very well. The zoom function is useful even if it is true that view informed square in zoom mode is a bit confusing at first. There is a cycle of three lighting mode 1 pressure light 100%. 2nd dimmest pressure, the third strobe light pressure. Good point after a few seconds (when the lamp is off without use) this is the first fashion lighting 100% which will return to the next use. I tested with a conventional alkaline AA battery.
