Wow just found out mine is in USPS in Stamford CT only 1 state away and it was not suppose to get here until the 22 so fingers crossed it does not go on a cross country trip to visit some watering holes. I still don’t even have my new batteries yet I have some I can try it with but not great ones.I will update when its in my hands. PS was just going to drive the 3hours and break in the Postal Facility tonight but I think I am still wanted in CT for a 145mph ticket I had years ago so I decided against it. LOL
No. It does remember your last used level. But it does not memorize turbo; if you double click to turbo, then off and then back on it remembers whatever non-turbo level was used. I’m not sure if memory can be disabled as I have not explored the user programmable options. Just played with it as it comes in the box.
Digging a little more, the last remembered level is not save permanently, so if you cycle power by doing a mechanical lockout for example, you lose your last saved level.
Also if you are referring to MODES operation (not ramping), the factory default is no mode memory.
Assorted choices for assorted likes of assorted people. I do absolutely love the UI as it comes. For me the Q8 has the best out of the box UI of any light I have tried or read about.
I’m having a lot of fun shinning the Q8 around. Can’t help on the double click!
However, since the switch leds are much brighter then expected - you can move around the house at night just with the green glow, did anybody estimate or measure the parasitic drain involved?
