Right. I have designed a new UI for this light, trying to make it as easy and pleasant to use as possible:
Click on, click off
#1 requirement for any flashlight is to get it on or off quickly and effortlessly
Click on/off works instantly, no matter how fast you turn the light on or off - no risk for accidental strobe or other "double-click features"
Suitable also for signaling!
Click W to change mode
4 modes in the main cycle -> find the correct mode quickly
Need 2 modes up? Just click twice - no risk for accidental strobe or other annoyances!
The whole UI is based on click and press actions (and nothing else!) => no difficult double/triple/quad clicks!
Empirical studies show that especially older people have problems with double clicks
No risk for accidental double clicks that may turn the light on strobe or simply blind you!
Shortcuts to lowest mode and turbo mode
A typical situation is that you quickly need one of these modes without knowing which mode was last used
Momentary turbo (from off or any mode)
Imagine walking with the light on 250lm mode, you hear something, press W-button for a momentary turbo to see what's there, and finally release button to get back to 250lm mode and continue your walk.. :)
Hidden Strobe, Beacons & SOS
In case you happen to need them..
UI diagram: (Modes are not final. Anything can still change. No promises, no lies!)
Say I’m on Med1 and want to cycle back to Low, would I be able to do that without flashing the higher modes at all if button presses are fast enough? Or would it require full power cycle?
Being able to drop to a lower output so quickly is one of my favorite things about my Zebralights and the new Anduril FW.
Also any word of the emitters and any choices there? LH351D was exciting before we found out most of the bins available are very green-ish.
