update:
From the department of unsolicited honesty:
I don't have much to report about the Wildfire because . . . . it is something of a shelf queen. It might be because I have so many flashlights and perhaps, because the Wildfire is so damn sexy I want it to stay looking brand new forever. After reading my review I'm reminded of the reverse threaded tail cap switch locking ring that can not loosen over time like so many lights I have do . . . and the super low, low. Despite the practical, real world value of a low this low, being brought into question; I remain convinced it is a particularly nice feature.
For me, it has nothing to do with run time. It's about seeing the thermostat, and only the thermostat, without waking anyone. It's about seeing/finding a tiny whatever while lying in your sleeping bag among four snoring tent companions, that wish to remain snoring. The good news is; it is essentially a single mode torch. You access the mode, re-tighten the head and that's what kind of light it is until you change the mode. I'm sure it works great in actual use. I wouldn't know, I haven't actually used my Wildfire as a . . . well, as a flashlight.
Guaranteed to vastly improve the apperance of any shelf.
