Personally I’d be interested in something like the second option (don’t have a ton of use for a muggle mode), something like an “edc” mode that still has a moonlight, but only goes through the regulated ramp. That way, I could avoid starting any fires in my pants during daily carry, but still change to the retina searing fun mode on occasion.
Something like this you are wishing. Its a mode for someone who has no experiences with high-power flashlights.
The name comes from harry potter. A muggle is a non magican or normal person.
FWIW, the default settings will probably be for a ramp ceiling of 3A,with direct-drive turbo accessible by a double click. But it should be configurable to raise or lower the ceiling if desired. And the floor too, for that matter.
I don’t know if muggle mode is a thing people want or not, or how exactly it should work. Could be a ramp with safe limits, could be a simple low/med/high, not sure which is more muggle-friendly.
Yeah like that, when prototype is in we an see what brightness can be sustained without heat issues, and I cn se it even become a very much used mode in the end
Muggle on off med sounds perfect! I learned the hard way…more than once. Many people just expect light with a turn on. Zero bells and whistles. They will destroy!
Muggle thing seems confusing. I thought it was some super advanced setting, now that I have seen some explanation, it seems to be just a protect someone who does not know how to use a flashlight mode. I don’t see a need for that myself, but maybe there is enough interest.
