Largely pointless if you don't go caving on a Sunday... :ras:

I assume it's the classic 'on this mode the light doesn't die for this long', ignoring that it's now putting out 10% of the original lumens...

It's probably a magnesium alloy
"Magnesium alloys are mixtures of magnesium with other metals, often aluminum, zinc, manganese, silicon, copper, rare earths and zirconium. "
They maintain much of the light weight nature of the magnesium but loose the nasty habit of oxidizing when it gets hot, magnox reactors had a magnesium-aluminum alloy in the components of the reactor hence the name (magnesium non-oxidizing).
