ok - did the deed
Full Mode test on Eneloop Pro NiMH cell at 1.3v:
"very low" mode: 2.9 lumens
"low" mode: 11 lumens
"high" mode: 102 lumens
Full Mode test on Primary alkaline cell at 1.6v:
"very low" mode: 3.4 lumens
"low" mode: 12 lumens
"high" mode: 108 lumens
This "very low" to me is acceptable as a moonlight mode.

I got a parasitic draw of .03ma/30 muA. I really like this light. I remember someone once asked if there really was nothing between a sc52 and a sk68. This might be it!

Mode Operation - this is how I understand how it works
With it OFF, hold the button for about 1.5 secs and it will come on in “very low” mode, 1 click will turn it OFF
With it OFF, one click it comes on in “low” mode, another click to “high” mode, next click OFF
With the light in “low” mode, hold the button and it starts ramping up, let go at anytime to set the new “low” mode. If you hit the max ramp setting, the light blinks twice. The max ramp is still lower than “high” mode
If you have the “low” mode max’ed out, holding the button will reset it back to the lowest value for “low” mode
With the light ON in either “low” or “high” mode, a double click will be strobe, then single click to exit strobe
The “very low” mode is a nice feature because you don’t have to go through “high” to turn the light OFF, but definitely not as low as a moonlight mode.
More Details:
The tailcap lock-out feature works very well on both lights - 1/4 turn, light goes OUT - power is cut
For the SC01, KeepPower 840 mAh protected and Sanyo unprotected cells fit and work well
thanks for this. so theres no way to turn the light on high mode from off?
or no momentarty high mode from off?

Bought one of each after reading the feedback, how does the SC02 compare with the Roche F6.

Are there any options besides Ric to get the NW version? I’m liking it more and more, but Ric sometimes takes up to 6 months to get an order to me, most were 3+ months before I got them from him so I really would rather not….

No - no direct to high.
Also not sure how it handled a low/drained battery.

Nobody provides more information? Or pictures?
Video? Review? Anything? I’m impatient for my Solarstorm SC family arrives.

Just got my SC01, SC02 and SC03 in hot off the mail truck. I’ll do some photos for a quick review and then it’s likely that some/all will go to DayLighter. Thanks Trevi_lux for the comparison to the Olight S15. Right now I’m torn between a Ti D25A clicky and the Ti Olight S15 and leaning toward the Olight because it has moonlight mode.
