Multiple modes are great for extending run time but frustrating if they don’t appear to make much difference or you need to try and scroll past three flashing modes and a complete off to get to maximum power as you plummet into a descent. Remote control switches help a lot with that though. There's also Exposure's extremely handy Tap technology which enables you to change light modes by tapping the unit. A consistently reliable battery life indicator will take the guesswork out of getting home safely and recharging indicators mean you won’t head out with a flat cell.
