You won’t need to be removed from the list. Just don’t do what is required when payment is required and it will be understood that you don’t 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, I’ve not lost it again since. I’ve 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. (I’ve 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.)
That’s a great idea, but single click to turn on should always (no memory) go directly to a “useful” general use mode so anyone could pick it up and use it.
After losing one to the snow, and finding it months later (it wasn’t in the snow at all), all of my pocket lights either come with a properly fitted pocket clip (that I use) or I won’t buy it. My brother lost the exact same light and refound his also. He also uses the pocket clip now.
Thus begins the slippery slope of turning the muggle mode into a full fledged UI with a learning curve. Sure, we think it’s simple, but to most “it’s just a flashlight” and shouldn’t be so complicated. If it didn’t have memory it would act as a single mode muggle light, but with the bonus ramping UI for those who may be more interested in it.
