1. I pulled out a AAA and reinserted it. The light came ON. It doesn't default to OFF. So if it momentarily loses contact, it won't leave you in the dark.

2. When the light was nearly out of power, it could NOT be turned off. This is better than auto-power-off, in my opinion... a weak light is still better than no light.
Those are interesting insights, and neat touches that show thoughtful design and engineering.
