Can you share how it's done? If it's (somewhat) repeatable..
The bug you mentioned seems to be similar to the one on the SP32A v1, detailed below.
~~~~~
I've also discovered a few "bugs" on other Sofirn flashlights, eg the Sofirn SP32A (v1)
(note: Sofirn SP32A (v1) has a few revisions, which I will name v1.0, v1.1 and v1.2 -- this are my OWN version numbering, not Sofirn's)
v1.0: the very first batch with the very long ramping time (~7.5-8 seconds to ramp from low-to-high and high-to-low)
v1.1: improved ramping time of ~4 seconds while ramping from low-to-high or vice-versa; the flashlight does 2 slow blinks upon reaching Highest or Lowest brightness level (while ramping)
v1.2: similar ramping time as v1.1, but this revision does only 1 very quick blink to signify reaching the Highest or Lowest brightness level (while ramping)
I sold away the v1.0, so I can't verify it has the bug. I'm using the "v1.1" version where there are 2 blinks upon ramping to the Top or Bottom brightness.
I've ordered the "v1.2" for other people, which is how I discovered it has a difference in the different blinks when reaching ramp-top/bottom.
The bug for SP32A v1.1 (might be present in v1.0 and v1.2 too):
- go to Strobes modes (via triple-click), then do quad-clicks to engage Lockout mode.
bug result: The flashlight will now be locked out doing Strobes modes, and cannot be turned Off, until doing another 4 clicks to Unlock.
(normally, 4-clicks to Lock-out should only engage while in Off mode, not in a special mode like Strobes).
I'm wondering, if this is related to the above WK30's cannot turn off Strobes modes -- 4-clicks makes it "locked out" ( ie. cannot switch to another mode) in Strobes?

Some other bug I've discovered on other Sofirn flashlights (related again to the "4-clicks to Lockout"):
Sofirn C8F v1 (the 18650 version) bug:
- the flashlight can be "locked out" while it's in Moon mode (ie. the light stays lit up in "Moon" mode brightness level, and since it's locked out, cannot adjust brightness or do anything else, until doing another 4-clicks to "Unlock" the "Lockout" mode)
requires a special sequence to activate this "Moon mode Locked-out" bug:
- turn On the flashlight first (any mode) => do a long-press/hold, which makes the C8F go to Moon mode, then do 4-clicks which will Lock-out the flashlight (with the main LED in Moon brightness level)
- this "bug" does NOT occur if done this way: from Off, long-press/hold the flashlight to make flashlight go to Moon mode, subsequently doing 4-clicks will not engage Lockout if done this way.
