The Olight M2r is THE only flashlight I have used that does it all. The two switches that operate independently of each other is an excellent idea. Here's why this light is the best do-it-all flashlight.
1. The size: it's small enough to carry in my pants pocket all the time while still being large enough to house an 18650, have a decent reflector for throw, and be used as a strike weapon if needed.
2. It has an 18650 rechargeable battery for performance.
3. It's tactical! The tail switch provides instant access to turbo all the time. You can select momentary or clicky to suit your mood. You can also access strobe with one push.
4. It's EDC. The side switch has mode memory so you can start at your favorite level. You can scroll through to select just the right lumens for the job or jump to turbo or strobe with a quick set of clicks. Moonlight through 700 lumens are readily available through the side switch.
5. It tailstands.
6. The pocket clip allows bezel up or down carry.
I have not been able to buy or build a light that meets so many of my needs. In another thread, someone suggested having a single mode tactical light in one pocket and an EDC light in the other. This provides you with the perfect tool for every job, but carrying two lights is not very convenient. So, until something radical comes along to change my mind, the M2r is the best Do-Everything flashlight available.
