I just used 3lm for pouring a cup of coffee just now. I never thought low lm were any good till i used one .
Now I wonder about .04 lumens. I can't believe it would be enough.
I should imagine .04 lumen would be about equivalent to the greenish glow from my older flip-phones little display, coz .25 lumens is WAYYYY brighter than that flip-phones display.
^^ wow that sounds pretty good... guess that just leads to the next question - does the 0.04 get you any additional runtime? I can't seem to find any specs on that.
Once night vision is achieved, 3 lumens is BLAZING. I wrestled with this for months before I got to use a .25 lumen. .25 lumens is perfect for around the house at nite to not disturb others. I didn't believe it til I tried it and my eyes are gettin' on to boot.

some of the uses IMO are a bit exaggerated. It may be fun/nice/convenient to have .2 or lower but for the most part if that's enough light to go to the bathroom and you could probably go to the bathroom without a light.
I like flashlights but I don't actually need/use one to get to the bathroom at night. If you don't want to wake someone up it is also possible to just not turn the light on until you are a few feet away. I'm sure most people can get out of bed without a flashlight.
The instruction sheet with the ThruNite Ti says it has a 175 hour runtime in firefly mode. I'm still playing with it too much to take it out of action for a test.

Using lowest mode (2 lm) of my JETBeam PA40 quite often when indoors, but when I want to see just everything around me - 468 lumens are just a doubleclick away
