The ThruNite 1AA uses a single AA battery to power a CREE XM-L for an impressive 145 lumens on high. The light also goes much lower than that, all the way down to 0.09 lumens, for up close or low light situations where less is more. On the lowest mode, the light can run for 100 hours.

Lightly depress the button momentarily(dont click it off) and then it will switch to next mode. Loosened Bezel: firefly--> Low -> Medium -> High -> SOS.
