S42 - awkward UI. Changed to a Lexel driver with Narsil, kept the on board charging. My first mod, somewhat difficult but works great. Astrolux corrected the fault w/ s43 but I prefer the knurled option.
SF14 v2.0 was my dreaded light. Always turns on low mode - ok; turn off and back on goes to next level. Argh! Then occurred to me to use as a drawer light (you know, finding that odd thing lost in the miscellaneous pile of odds & ends). Great light as low is about 10 lumens.
Next was the SP10A; single press to turn on is very low (<2 lm) and long press to turn off. BUT, once driven into subconscious to long press from off, which starts at last mode, then the corresponding long press to turn off. My daily pocket light (got so cheap, if I’d lose it I wouldn’t make a fuss). I’m an urban guy, moonlight has no use for me. There’s enough reflected light from streetlights; I have low night lights about the apartment to get to the bathroom without stubbing my toe or walking into a door.
Now everybody rants and raves about Convoy. My S2+ has a non responsive switch, that I changed. Still the switching doesn’t always move to next level. So I had gotten an L2, with e switch. Long press to Off is way too long (>1 sec) and have to really press good (almost hard). There is a blue led at the switch, but it’s on one side (that annoys me) and stays on with the light. I’d rather have the led On when not in use, to find the switch in perfect blackness. Then turn off when the light is on - I don’t need the indicator.
Well, I’ll eventually change those naggins.
