GoonDudeI have a copper one too, and I agree. They are 3 mode, rather than two, the third mode is 1 lumen, which I really like, you can dig around your stuff with fully night adapted eyes and not blow out your night vision. And dings just make it look better. Though the photos of peoples show that the coated aluminum hold up better than the usual anodized flashlight in your pocket.
ChaostrophyCheck this out. If you unscrew the flashlight head about 1 full screw or so you do not have to physically turn it each time you want to use it. You just apply a little pressure to the head and release and repeat to cycle through the modes. Mine started acting a little kooky when screwed down all the way (like it would stay on). This is something I stumbled across and actually like the functionality alot better. Try it!
