The 100% luminosity is extremely bright, a room lit well and the manufacturer's specified beam range is realistic in my first attempts. The average luminous point is the brightest point, the entire illuminated surface is easily visible from a distance, when properly adjusted.
The 25% brightness is set very easily. Man holding the flashlight down, as if one would illuminate the ground and turned to them. Already it is in the reduced light intensity. Hence, this lamp will recognize your location and thus allows a simple and intuitive switching.
As criticism of this mode, I now would like to say once that he really is still very bright. At first reading tests in my apartment, the light blinded a bit too much. I would like to see a reduction in the current luminosity to 10%. But I would like to evaluate conclusively only after my trip.
Another mode is the mode candles. To this I can not say much, I tried to understand what would tell me the instructions in this regard, but I do not get it up to date. Maybe someone can explain different to what I have to do to turn my lamp in a candle.
As a complement of the holiday there is to say that one should pay attention to the cap of the battery compartment. Is this slightly open, the lamp has a loose connection and one wonders about the flickering light. Dust, dirt and rain have the lamp on vacation not mind and it works flawlessly.
Overall I am very satisfied and happy with the Mag-Lite. Anyone looking for a small, bright lamp, should opt for this. I forgive here 5 Stars *****.
