So I just got mine, and on the plus side level 2 and 3 are brighter than my cellphone light so that's good. It looks good. BUT everybody complaining about all the clicks it takes to get to max brightness are right. It's kind of an insane design decision. This flashlight isn't bright enough to warrant multiple levels in the first place and it ruins the whole thing. If anyone comes up with a mod to make it just on/off please post it!
