This is the Energizer White LED Flashlight+Green LED Glowstick/Flasher.
It functions as a flashlight, as a steady-on "glow stick", and can also flash its glow stick.
It has a phosphor neutral white 5mm LED for flashlight mode, a green 5mm LED to illuminate its glowstick, and feeds those LEDs from three LR44 (aka. AG-13) button cells.

The Energizer White LED Flashlight+Green LED Glowstick/Flasher comes ready to use as soon as you purchase it -- the batteries are included and already installed.
Simply press & release the black button on the barrel as follows:
Just like it reads on the backs of many shampoo (or shampotty) bottles, "lather, rinse, repeat". In other words, pressing & releasing the button turns it on in flashlight mode again.
To change the batteries in the White LED Flashlight+Green LED Glowstick/Flasher, unscrew & remove the small phillips screw from the body located near the barrel/wand interface, unscrew the wand from the body, walk over to the dustbin (garbage can), drop the wand & screw in, take the bin liner (garbage bag) to the outside wheelie bin (wheeled garbage can), drop them in that one, and wait for garbage day so that the dustman (garbage man) dumps the wheelie bin into his dust lorry (garbage truck) and drives off...O WAIT!!! YOU'LL NEED THOSE!!! So just set them aside instead.
Tip the "guts" out of the barrel and into your hand (use a small screwdriver to gently pry the "guts" out of necessary), and set the now-almost-empty barrel aside as well.
Using the point of a knife or similar instrument, pry one of the cells out of the chamber; the other two should come out without tools. I attempted to use a fingernail for this task on this one, and promptly busted it (the fingernail - not the light!!!) - that's why I recommend using a knife or similar instrument. "Lesson learned" as they say.
Dispose of or recycle the used-up cells as you see fit. Do not flush them down the commode, and for God sakes, please do not throw them into a trout-filled stream.
Insert three new LR44 (or AG-13) button cells into the chamber, orienting them so that their flat-ends (+) positives face the (+) legend printed in the bottom of the chamber.
Slide the "guts" back into the barrel so that the LED points outward, and so that the side with the circuit board on it faces the black rubbery button on the barrel.
Screw the wand back on; snugly but not too tightly, screw in that screw you removed earlier, and be done with it.
Aren't you glad that you didn't throw that wand & tiny screw in the garbage now?
Unable to measure current use due to how the product was constructed.
The White LED Flashlight+Green LED Glowstick/Flasher is not intended to be used as a flashlight that is needed frequently and bashed, trashed, thrashed, and abused. So I won't throw it against the wall, stomp on it, try to drown it in the {vulgar term for caca}bowl or the cistern, run over it with a 450lb electric wheelchair, swing it against the concrete floor of a carport, use a medium claw hammer to bash it open in order to check it for candiosity, fire it from the cannoņata (I guess I've been watching the TV program "Viva Piņata" too much again - candiosity is usually checked with a laser-type device on a platform with a large readout (located at Piņata Central aka. Party Central), a handheld wand that Langston Lickatoad uses, or a pack-of-cards-sized instrument that Fergy Fudgehog uses; and the cannoņata (also located at Piņata Central) is only used to shoot piņatas to piņata parties away from picturesque Piņata Island), send it to the Daystrom Institute for additional analysis, shoot it into the upper atmosphere of Ventax II*, or inflict upon it punishments that a flashlight in a metal or sturdier plastic body may have inflicted upon it.
Because it was a gift from my sis, this type of testing would not have been performed on it anyway, regardless of what type of product it was.
The White LED Flashlight+Green LED Glowstick/Flasher is very lightly splatter- and weather-resistant, but it I do not believe that it is submersible -- well it is to shallow depths for short periods of time at minimum (if you retrieve it reasonably quickly, you'll very probably be OK in this regard).
It failed "The Suction Test" a bit - not a whole lot of air was admitted, but it *DID* leak. If it fell in water and you suspect it got flooded (because you didn't fish it out right away), remove the wand and the insides, take the batteries out, dump the water out of the wand and body if necessary, and set the parts in a warm dry place for a day or so just to be sure it's completely dry inside before you use it again.
If it fell into seawater, got thrown into a glass of milk, if it fell into a root beer float, if it got nocked into a bowl of "soft-serv" ice cream, if somebody squirted a Massengill brand post-menstrual disposable douche or a Fleet brand disposable enema at it (and hit it with the douche or the enema), if it got kicked under a leaky car radiator, or if somebody or something got "pyst off" at it and subsequently "pist" on it , rinse the parts out with fresh water before setting them out to dry. You don't want your White LED Flashlight+Green LED Glowstick/Flasher to smell like seaweed, sour milk, flowers, fresh butts, or rotten pee when you go to use it next. Besides, salt (from seawater, disposable douches, disposable enemas, or uranation), lactic acid (from moo juice), glycerol (from antifreeze), or sugar (from root beer & ice cream) can't be very good for the flasher circuit or the insides of the barrel.
