For lockout,
click click click hold, confirmed by a flash sequence to confirm lockout is engaged, would be awesome.
We don’t want the firmware too confusing next to other brands, most use 4 clicks and it’ll be confusing if owning multiple lights
It has a sunset timer. Turn the light on, then click 5 times and hold the final press. The light then blinks once per second. Each blink adds 5 minutes to the timer. Let go when enough time has been added.
Then it slowly dims and eventually shuts itself off.
This setting doesn’t stick though. The timer is only active until the light shuts off.
I ment more for accidental activation. I known there is now a feature for if you hold the button it will not stay on high. But what if you don’t have it locked out and it clicks in you bag or pocket.
Muggles may forget to lock there lights out. Heck sometimes I forget too.
You could use the autolock feature that locks the light after some time of inactivity.
Since I use manual memory, am I correct in thinking I would no longer have any access to turbo except the momentary hold from off with this setup?
Personally I’m not at all interested in a shortcut to turbo from off unless it can be disabled some way (or is momentary). The ability to set the ceiling to a less pocket-scorching level is a big part of the reason I feel even slightly comfortable carrying a hotrod unlocked.
Autolock?

It looks like I still have so much more to learn. The only configuration I thought the only thing you could change durning for lockout was the ceiling/floor ofqq lockout brightness.
So when I adjust the minutes for auto lock config, I can use then light like normally and then during inactivity it will default back to lockout? Or am I more lost than I feel?
Has this been around long? 80% of my Andruil UI lights should have then UI from withing the last year.
Edit: After reading up a little seem like I have to reflash to the latest software to give it a try.
I may be fairly new but your software and the fact that you communicate with the enthusiasts is one of the reasons I keep buying flashights with your UI.
Keep it up
Yes, it will lock the light after the set amount of inactivity. Currently it is 10C/10H but that might change again, who knows. It’s not in an official release yet, you have to compile it yourself. None of your lights currently has it.
I don’t think that I’m special and know from experience that I can do a 3C very quickly without counting but sometimes I’m doing 5C instead of 4C, so I guess exiting lockout would be easier and more intuitive with 3C, and for this reason, my brain will have no problem to adapt and remember it, like many other people.
Since there are some changes between Anduril and Anduril 2.0, people will need to know which of their flashlights use Anduril or Anduril 2.0 so from there, it shouldn’t be that difficult to keep in mind that lockout is 3C and battcheck 4C with “this one” that is using Anduril 2.0.
Many people own flashlights from different brands with very different UI anyway, or even different UI within the same brand.
Battckeck is useful but I wouldn’t mind having this feature changed / pushed to more clicks (like 9C or even 11C) to use it and keep shorter shortcuts for features supposed to be used more often than keeping battcheck at 3C in the way of future UI improvements (let’s hope to see new MCUs shortly with BLF flashlights) just because of a “supposed” backward compatibility.
Yeah, that’s a question worth exploring.
At the moment, lockout mode has actions assigned to 4/7/10 clicks. Er, 4/5/7/10 really, because it currently has 5C for a shortcut to ceiling. But instead of using 10C/10H for autolock config, should it use 6C/6H?
Similarly, in ramp mode, should the manual/automatic mem settings stay on 10C/10H or move to 6C/6H?
Basically, do people prefer having shorter button sequences (faster) or more space between (so it’s harder to get the wrong one by accident)?
In short, I tried it and didn’t like it. It became pretty obnoxious to go between old lights and new lights, and it required moving other functions around in ways I didn’t like. I don’t mind moving batt check, but it was really annoying having the ramp style toggle moved. Mostly though, since I have a bunch of old lights and a few new ones, I found I was getting the wrong action frequently unless I stopped to consciously think about it. It was a small but frequent nuisance that I don’t want to inflict on thousands of people.
By default, the simple UI (or easy mode or whatever it’s called) has no turbo, and it has a hard ceiling set to a level which is unlikely to have any heat issues. The idea is to make it bright but not crazy. So adding access to a crazy level isn’t really a priority. There’s an entire advanced mode available for people who want to go beyond what’s likely to be safe.
Anyway, it’s possible, but would likely only fit on newer attiny1634-based lights, and there’s no obvious place to fit the setting for it into the UI.
Thanks ToyKeeper
I would like Dual switch lights with Anduril 2.
To separate ramping UI from all options/configurations.
Maybe Sofirn can do?
So the Simple UI won’t have a Turbo you can switch on in Advanced mode, correct? We can only adjust the ceiling for the Simple UI?
That is correct. It’s limited to the ceiling level. The ceiling is adjustable though.
Anduril (1 and 2) does not support two independent e-switches, because redesigning it to use two buttons would turn it into something else — a fundamentally different UI. However, it does support a tail clicky switch, as a momentary / tactical mode.
I would think that for a consumer friendly simple UI, that stepped modes would be better than ramping?
Just my thoughts.
I assumed the same thing… but when I asked people to vote on what they wanted, the smooth ramp was preferred by a wide margin (73 to 40) over steps. Granted, that was a couple years ago and maybe opinions have changed since then.
+100 :+1:
Also, pretty please :
On 2H 3H: momentary turbo (oops… 2H is ramp down)
This was a feature of the Gen1 Armytek Wizard UI and I LOVED it. Used that feature all the time. Fundamentally just makes sense to me. That’s the only change I’d make to Simple UI (what I’d run.) Looks complete IMO
