Ditto. Most of my “special function” lights are 1-mode only. My VG10 is pretty much the only multimode light I use regularly, and it’s not even my EDC (1-mode ’502). Even “retired” my S2+ because the blink-on-low was just plain pissing me off, and that was one I would’ve otherwise tolerated a multimode driver.
The ’348 isn’t so stressed-out on high that it needs a “low” mode. It’s simple, and it does the job.
My only gripe with it is that the threads seem to be rather very skimpy. The clip wants to “bend” the 2 halves when putting in a new cell that it’s really easy to cross-thread the beastie. I think mine’s already almost a press-fit at this point. Wanna make it a winner, give it some beefier threads, sez me.
FYI - anyone wanting to pick up an additional BLF-348, message M4DM4X for a code that gets the price on GearBest down to near the groupbuy prices that were offered here.
You can buy the remaining "With BLF engraving, with gift box"-versions (<== Affiliate link = "Thank you for the GB!" - Non-aff link here) for only $6.99 with coupon BLF348G
Note: At the moment the coupon allows buying only one for that price, but I already asked GB to remove that limit.
The coupon BLF348G doesn’t work anymore, not even for single items. The error message upon entering the coupon code is “The Code you entered has expired.”
Let’s see if there is enough interest. If the wants to organize a new batch, great! If the wants to take care of the list, even better. In the meantime, I’ll make a list here.

It seems that the gift box variants are not really in demand and a no-box production run would probably make most people happy.
