The Micro has a one button interface, but it works really well - press once for full brightness, press and hold from off to ramp up brightness from minimum to maximum, press and hold from on to ramp down brightness from maximum to minimum. Keep holding the button after a full brightness ramp and you'll cycle through three different "safety beacon" flash modes, plus a Morse code SOS. If you press the button several times in quick succession, you'll put the Freedom Micro into momentary mode, where it's only on when you hold the switch; more rapid presses turn that mode off again. I like this interface, because the functions are sensibly arranged - the stuff you want to do most of the time is the easiest to do, and the stuff most users will hardly ever want to do doesn't get in your way. Anyway, at full brightness, the new-LED Freedom Micro and Photon II both started out delivering close to 50 lux at one metre in the bright spot in the middle of their medium-wide 20 degree beam, and slid down to about 43 lux over the course of about 20 seconds. This is very impressive, and bodes well for various other lights (some of which I have on my to-review queue right now); 40 to 50 lux is what I used to expect from small 3-LED lights with the same beam width as this, and about 20 lux used to be a good score for a one-LED flashlight.
