I don’t mind if strobe exists. I just want it to be hard to get by accident, and I don’t want it to take up a convenient action that could be used for something I’ll actually use. I’ve only ever used strobe to annoy people (all three of them deserved it), and that’s just not an important use case for me.
Strobe is big with law enforcement, even special ops guys use it. I've gotten that from direct sources, two different sources from seals. They prefer a dedicated switch, even dedicated light, so there's no mistakes.
Sure, it makes sense for that, but most e-switch lights aren’t really meant for LE/military/self-defense. Things like the Klarus XT series with a dedicated strobe button are great designs for that, but it seems to me that a lot of manufacturers don’t have a clue who they’re designing for.
The more of your posts I read the more you remind me of another member of an ad&d group I was with in the 80s. Intended as a compliment - it brings back fond memories.
