I love that idea, have a specific, easy action such as hold-at-boot to reset to factory options would be awesome. Also I think a simple but to reset from muggle mode should be sufficient, not too hard to hand to someone and say use it but donāt open it to look at the inside. My understanding of a muggle mode is simple use for a short period of time, perhaps in an emergency, when you donāt have time to explain the whole UI so the person shouldnāt be playing around with it anyway.
Oh wauw, just 12 new posts here, been of line for a week or so, see tat the thers have exploded, this is nice to kick off with
Will update the list later
Please remove me from the list, I have no interest in low CRI lights with unspecified emitter parameters anymore. The XP-G3 also has a very ugly beam, as Iāve seen IRL, with green tint-shift and a blue-UV corona.
You wonāt need to be removed from the list. Just donāt do what is required when payment is required and it will be understood that you donāt want the light. No big deal.
Perhaps muggle mode could use the ramping but limited to the single 7135 channel? Could be a training mode for using the UI, and useful for experienced users in a long term blackout situation should you need maximum runtime.
About reset using connecting power while holding the switch, this might be difficult for people with arthritis. Just a thought.
You remembered my lost EDC from 4 years ago Wow! Good memory! Actually, Iāve not lost it again since. Iāve just changed from keeping it in my front pocket to my rear and the longer tube causes it to be pushed up and out of my pocket. (Iāve had to move it to my rear pocket since phones are getting so darn big - too big to accomodate a flashlight in the same pocket.)
Thatās a great idea, but single click to turn on should always (no memory) go directly to a āusefulā general use mode so anyone could pick it up and use it.
