Which mode sequence you prefer

Triangle instead of sawtooth.

Problem is: You never know what the next mode would be if current mode and direction are memorized (by f/l, not by human brain).

Shortcuts to moon and turbo FTW :+1:

L-M-H-T with memory mode.

Voted “Low> Med> Hi >Turbo >Low> Med> Hi >Turbo”!

Ideally, the possibility to go UP and DOWN on modes (ramping style) would be nice. But normally I prefer the above mentioned sequence. Actually, I did not buy some lights from a certain brand [despite I like their designs a lot!] because of the L-M-H-T-H-M-L sequence :zipper_mouth_face:

Programmable UI like Bistro that let you choose modes order, low to high or high to low, let you choose numbers of modes, enable or disable memory, etc.

L M H T H M L is terrible for me.

Mode memory is fine, as long as there is a shortcut from off to low. (I like a shortcut to turbo too, but it’s not as important.)

Really irritating to not know whether the next click will be brighter or dimmer . You're wrong 50% of the time So half the time the light is a disappointment .

Also, very important that location beacon (flashing red light on button) has much lower drain in future Skilhunt flashlights.

On H03 the drain is like 2mA

BTW, Andúril ist very good at that. Click and hold for up, Doubleclick and hold for down. Best method when being limited to a single button UI imo.

Sawtooth for me!

Out of those two, I prefer LMHTLMHT. It’s easier and quicker to get back to a low setting and as it was said before, you don’t know if the light is going to get brighter or dimmer when you pick it up.

With a stepped mode light, I would prefer Hold from off to get Moon, hold to scroll through LMHLMH, double click to Turbo whether on or off and a single press to turn it off. That would suit me just fine.

T-S-H-M-L

I know the poll is pretty much decided for at least the few of us that voted, but I’d like to see more votes here, so…

BUMP!

BTW, I voted L>M>H>T>L>M>H>T and I prefer also the following:

  • Last mode memory
  • Direct from off to lowest mode (Moonlight if it is available, or low)
  • Direct from off to Turbo

I voted L>M>H>T>L>M>H>T
Direct from off to lowest mode
Don’t care about memory

I have grown to LOVE the ZL UI and the newest version lets you set it up almost any way that I prefer…….twice!

Of the 2 options in the top of this thread I would choose the 2nd one.

Bistro or blf A6 UI; short press forward, medium press backward/reverse, so you can toggle to high and press some longer to go back to medium for instance.

Thank you very much for your votes and comments!! :+1:

Now I just added two more choices,

1. with sub-levels, so one click is L>M>H>T>L>M>H>T, double click is L1<=> L2 , M1<=> M2, H1<=>H2, T1<=> T2

2.Don’t need sub-levels, so one click is L>M>H>T>L>M>H>T, double click is T>H>M>L>T>H>M>L

Which one you prefer? After votes, then we will change our mode setting in future design. Thank you very much for all your comments and votes again!!

2 cycles.
L.M.H.
With long click to bring in Quick Flash then Intermittent,
for annoying people…

ALWAYS start on the low.
I reckon As soon as you bring in Turbo, you overloading .
Both the battery and system.

Better off pulling that stronger torch out of other pocket hey.
It only lasts for a short while anyway.
Then most drop down automatically.

Uh… the poll will now be skewed since you added new options after votes have already came in :person_facepalming:

I really like the UI of the H03, the hidden sub-levels is absolutely preferable over the second option.

And it is muggle friendly.
