【convoy】H4 and B35AM options are updated

This is such a pity!

Bistro looks too complicated to me. Also Biscotti has too many options, but I select one mode, store it, and that’s it. Actually I liked the old 3/5 mode driver, except that it generates a squaling tone, which nobody likes. Ideally I’d like to simply have 4 modes 3–35–70–100 no blinking stuff etc.

I like Biscotti too, but wish I could customise the modes that are available to add different levels - I’ll just have to recompile and flash it :slight_smile:

Without a true moonlight mode, a flashlight is useless to me. Below 1 lumen.

How are you doing with your car ?
When you are driving downtown at 50 km/h on the third gear position, if you need to slow down and go back to the second gear, would you like to have to go to the fourth gear then fifth then first before being able to drive on the second one ?
Bistro has ascending and descending cycling modes. You can descend back, for example, to the lowest mode when you are in the 2nd. :+1:

Nice comparison :slight_smile: but a flashlight is not a car. How do you distinguish between descend and ascend with one single reverse clicky switch? Long and short press? That feels like a complicated gearbox to me, but thats my personal preference. The idea is nice though.

Yes :

You can configure Bistro to have 4 modes or 3 with moonlight, in low to high or high to low order, enable or disable memory, etc, store it and that’s it.

Bistro is my preferred UI for reverse switches.

Simon, is there a way to select or modify the driver for 1 mode, high only?

It seems that few people have such a demand.

i will produce 6A driver with one mode in the future

uh ,i hope luminus launches 4000K ,too

Short and long press? My personal best is single press - next mode, double press - previous mode, 3 press - strobe, e.g. 6 press config mode, and so on.

Which UI is it ?

This is the legendary UI, have it in my first flashlight, bought online, and it has this great UI with many more options. Never found it again anywhere as only driver, wondering why nobody is selling it

Double press on a clicky for previous mode? Interesting, I’ve actually never heard of that before.

Personally I can’t see that as being superior to long press for previous mode, but long press has to work consistently and that has higher hardware requirements.

I’m with you on this one! Curious to see what you got for us Simon :wink: :blush:

Simon, will the new flashlights have 1, 10, 40, 100, or 0,1, 3, 30, 100? I think second option is better, moonlight is sometimes needed.

With double press you can’t go wrong, double press is always previous mode, single is always next. With this long/short press you can press a bit too long, or too short and have wrong mode. You would love it :wink:

I wish Simon had that in his flashlights

It’s like Crescendo, except it has levels and not ramping. It would be amazing to use! I would love that with the ability to turn mode memory on/off. With mode memory off, click on to get moon and double half tap, boom! Turbo.
