edu.dadI'm seeing the same thing. On initial test, it looked like 1 lumen/ 70 lumen/85 lumen. Now about two weeks later looks like 1/85/85. Looking online I realized it should be 1/15/85. Hopefully Massdrop can advise whats up... I got the copper and it's already starting to patina well, but I don't want a $60 light that last 1 month if something else goes wrong with it.
edu.dadSo... poked around on the manufacturers website. They said "do not" use alkaline and recommended enloop batteries. I swapped the alkaline out for a lithium and it works flawlessly now.
edu.dadit's 3 modes. it's pretty clear it's 3 modes.
1 lumen to 15 lumens to 85 lumens. you need to look at the ratios to understand how the difference works.
1:15 is 15x the original
15:85 is only 5.6x the original.
the huge difference makes it clearly obvious.
