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.
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.
followed by astrolux s1 :
8 steps, fast clicks go up, slow clicks go down, from turbo it goes back to moon
also with selectable mode memory, you can have it on or off
after that would be anything that goes up to max, then to minimum
NOT L-M-H-M-L
terrible
i can think of worse - BLECH - than that but i just ate
I haven’t voted ,
My choice would be to leave it as it is ,it works fine why change it ? People who already have a skilhunt light know how it works , it works well , why have another skilhunt torch in your armoury with a different ui?
It gets confusing.
Short click to ON (*Low*)/OFF;
Hold from off to Moon,
Hold from Moon to Low, then cycle L>M>H>L>M>… (and maybe long click to cycle backwards)
Double click (both from off and on) to Turbo, only access Turbo through double click.
No memory.
This way it’s predictable, can be turned on by anyone, with only three modes in the main sequence and the other two still easily accessible, but without getting in the way. And even if you hands are too frozen to properly click, you can at least press and hold to get some random level of light.
Two switches. Tail for momentary turbo only, side for fancy mode-rich use. Both operate independently (side is NOT a “switch mode switch” but can operate the light itself, like in e.g Olight M2R). Tail switch always overrules side switch. No mode memory.
LMHTLMHT with shortcut to T and start at L. Can also have the option for memory and then need shortcut to L as well. Also a strobe shortcut if those modes are on the light is nice and even better if strobe has it’s own setup like three clicks to go to strobe and then you cycle through them like the preferred method.
