Victorinox Spartan Lite - How good is the flashlight?

I'm almost ready to pull the trigger on a Spartan Lite, but I'd like to know if the flashlight portion of the SAK is any good.
I don't expect it to put out a tremendous amount of lumens, but, can I rely on it to replace a flashlight, if really need to go minimal, and carry only the SAK?
Can someone give some feedback, about how it compares to an EDC flashlight?

Don't expect a lot. I think slightly dimmer than a typical Photon Micro-Light keychain. And that's for the newer ones. Old ones might be half the output or less.
I like my old ones
because
they are dim. I use them around the house so I don't disturb anybody else.

I know there is a thread here somewhere, where someone switches out the led in that light. Makes it much brighter, i guess.

I recall a thread where a member stated to switch the battery first thing due to unpredicted shelf life, and they noticed a difference brightness. Perhaps this is more of an FYI should decide to purchase one!
Awlways know if the juice is worth the squeeze.
