Lightbringer, like you, I don’t like blinkies! And I will not defend this “cheap, bugdet, it’s-good-but-it’s-not-the-ultimate-headlight-in-the-world”!
BUT, the blinkies are all hidden through a “real”, “intentional” double click to activate those modes!
Also, you will always know in which mode the light will turn ON, and that’s on Medium, because that is the only mode that has been memorized in this light!
More than that: if you just want to use the light with 1 mode, you can: single click for ON (turns ON on Medium) > wait more than 2 seconds > single click for OFF. Simple!
If you want a higher output: single click for ON (turns ON on Medium) > single click for High > Single click for OFF. Simple!
This is as simple as it can be regarding to that!
For ramping, just press and hold from any regular mode!!
Yes, I would like to ramp up, but this ramps down till the lowest and then goes back to the highest mode. And then goes down again. 5>4>3>2>1>5>4>3>2>1……
And no blinkies in the middle. Just if you want! And if you want, you can select them: double click for Strobe > double click for SOS > double click for Beacon > single click for OFF or double click for Strobe > and when on Strobe, single click for the last used mode! If when on Strobe will make a long press, when you release it, the light will turn OFF
So, I guess this is not perfect! But it is not a headache to make this work! And you and I know we’ve seen and taste worst UIs than this one :smiling_imp:
