Agreed. In my opinion, this is not the “grail: 18350 light.
I rate this is a “near miss” in terms of making a great light. Simply changing the UI to make the main LED infinitely variable while keeping all other features as-is would have made it a great a light.
Would that have made it the best 18350 light? … I don’t think so. It’s still a bit big for an 18350 light. But those changes would have been enough to turn what is now a decent light into a very good light.
What I’d like to see:
A button-less TCR-1 with the triple emitters from the RRT-03, and aux colored LED emitters accessible via hidden series of movements (like how to access strobe in the RRT-01).
