Would you buy a light with this user interface?

Reserved for how to use

My brain hurts. :slight_smile:

I wouldn’t buy it. Wayyyyy to complicated. No offense intended, but the diagrams for this UI look like a Rube Goldberg design.

Well it’s definitely user friendly. :person_facepalming:

Nope, much too complicated.

To all you guys saying no, would you buy a Zebralight based off the text description only? We all pretty much know the ZL UI by now so it’s not really a fair comparison but if you have zero knowledge (and no way to YouTube) would you buy a ZL based on the written description of its UI? I sure as hell wouldn’t…

I learned long time ago not to eleminate a light from my wish list based on what seems like an overly complicated UI in the text form! Zebra, lights with NarcelM & bistro and other popular BLF created FW can all sound crazy hard to use in text but are actually simple to operate and very feature rich.

I never cared for Zebralight in the first place :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh I’m game to try any UI at least once. I have never gotten rid of a light because of the UI. I have decided not to buy lights based on the UI however. I was lucky enough to get the Q8 UI working to my liking. I still think the mode based part of the UI is stupid. The 1.2sec lock in and you have to go back before you go forward is just counter intuitive.

I’d give this UI a try though. Hell you never know. It could be very easy to use once a finished UI diagram is implemented.

Might look busy, but many of the C’s and CP’s are same from on or OFF.

What are you using now single speed? Please let me know your favorite user interface Give me a change to compare…
I understand some folks like simple 3 speed lights, and so do I sometimes.

This light does that.

That is fare. Thanks for you input. This UI is not for everyone. In my head its easier to navigate then any other programmable light out there.

I would gladly compare this with your current UI

Actually I recognize my first post as rather short-sighted, and apologize for it :blush: After all, I use Biscotti, and for all of my exclusive usage of the super simple 4-level mode group 8, sometimes I feel the firmware as a whole could have more functions. More options is always good, because they’re exactly that: options.

So I change my vote: if the torch featuring it were not too expensive, I’d be willing to give it a shot.

I would definitely try your UI.
I think it would really help chadvone if you made one of those nice little flowing cheatsheets like here.
I think more people could see just how it works. Being honest, the text UI above, I kind of get lost myself.

Thanks for your input. What program is being used for those cheatsheets? My PC has 3d paint. Gave me a head ache.

I am going to try to make a better cheatsheet, showing just how easy it can be.

Examples added to second post. Tell me how your using your light now. Let me try and sell you this UI.

I would buy a light that has two modes, low and high.
The rest is unnecessary gimmicks.

Then your in luck. This UI has 2 modes. Your chosen LOW and Your chosen HIGH. You don’t need to do anything more to enjoy your 2 modes after you first set them up.

C CC P is all you you need to remember.

All the other electronics necessary for all the programming simply wastes space on a PCB and also complicates the circuitry, making it more expensive to produce and also more prone to failure.
I’ve had even simple drivers malfunction before because cold temperatures were messing with the mode switching circuitry.
A foolproof no-BS design is cheaper and more reliable.

Yes the photos of the flow chart are crap. I warned you.

No offense taken, . What are you using now that makes this UI seam Wayyyyy to complicated a match?
