coderus, when the torch is activated through Powermenu, it's only half as bright as when it is activated through the shortcuts in the Event view. I consider this a feature, as half power often is power enough (esp at night). I always thought the torch was either on or off. But apparently it has more control!

When taking a flash photo, the led flash is even brighter, but running at that power for prolonged times would damage the led.
