Excellent flashlight for everyday use, super bright, with 14500 battery, BLUE flashlight on the back drains the battery

Interesting flashlight for everyday use. Works with a single AA battery or a 14500 Li-Ion battery. Considering the flexibility of the battery, there is something interesting about this flashlight. 1) It has low, medium, high and turbo modes available when using an AA or 14500 battery. I didn't notice much difference in turbo mode with an AA battery; However, there is one big difference compared to the 14500 battery. It's almost like having a portable laser in your pocket! NOTE: In turbo mode with a 14500 battery, this light will be HOT. After about 10 minutes, you will find it difficult to hold it because it is very warm. 2) Low mode with 14500 battery is slightly better than AA, but both are good for small, big jobs. 3) Enabling stobe mode is a little clumsy, but I don't know why this mode will be useful to anyone. 4) Given that it gets hot in turbo mode with a 14500 battery, I have a question about lifespan in this mode. Overall I think this is a great little flashlight for everyday use. The AA battery option makes it useful for quick battery changes when the need arises. I think the flashlight only works well on AA; However, if you want TURBO mode, the 14500 battery is the way to go. UPDATE: There is a newer version of this flashlight with a lighted tail switch. This is SUPER ANNOUNCEMENT. Please return to the original design without the lighted tail switch.

Pros
