I’ll chime in with a “Nay” for a simple ‘cut’ to exit muggle mode.
When I hand a light to a muggle, they immediately open it to look at the cell, then try their best to cross-thread it back together. :person_facepalming:
cut
- - likely to be performed inadvertently
- - muggles can’t learn about and use mechanical lockout
- - muggles can’t change cells
cut-and-hold
- + unlikely to be perfomed inadvertently
- + simple for non-muggle to remember
password
- + great for gifting a light with the potential to be ‘unlocked’ after muggle is certified
- - forgetful non-muggle could be locked out of their own light
I’m using TK’s amazing Andúril on several lights. Muggles (young and old) quickly understand its ramping UI.
I hand them a light and say, “Click for on and off. Hold to change brightness.” Andúril is so intuitive that they figure out reversing on their own.
I’d like muggle mode to have a ramp with a customizable floor and ceiling, with no access to turbo or blinkies.
Single-mode lights are boring, and even muggles deserve ramping! :partying_face:
Perhaps a ‘single output mode’ could be a separate feature?
