I also fear hot anduril lights
simple mode eliminates turbo
and sets a more moderate ceiling
the danger of the FW design is the FET output
and the Hair Trigger Switch
it is for the people that want more than 1000 lumens, and are willing to carry it locked out. The switch was chosen because it is very flat, making the light suprisingly small.
But it is not a save switch to carry unlocked. For that we would need a mechanical clicky.
fwiw
Novatac and HDS use signal springs and wires too, They also use electronic switches, but with MUCH higher activation pressures…
A signal tube is not much different than a spring or a wire, they just have to make proper contact at both ends, and not get jiggled into fooling the switch into thinking it was double tapped while closing the tailcap
