Nice looking prototype, but IMO it needs a higher turbo, at least 10,000lm. Doesn’t matter if it drops down in one minute. Also I would like to see deeper reflectors so it’s not limited to a pure flooder…
I think you need to have your light different than all others…… And that’s to not have hidden turbo. You should change your ui so that turbo can be memorized also. So that turbo can turbo can turn on with a single click.
You can keep double click to turbo.
This would really differ you from all other high output lights out there!
I myself prefer the pure flood as it is more useful for me. I would rather be able to see a large area immediately in front of me than a small area several hundred yards away.
I prefer double click turbo as well. I’m only interested in single click turbo (or maximum) if that light output can be maintained continuously without stepping down/light getting too hot to handle.
A selectable UI may be interesting. One UI with and another UI without single click turbo. More lights these days have selectable UI. Maybe interesting for HaikeLite in the near future?
I feel The UI is getting better with single click ON, single click OFF being a priority.
But As I've been doing for a couple years, now, I prefer single click to go to next mode, press&hold for previous mode. If you lock in to a mode for a minimum time, then the next single click turns the light OFF. So, you get single click ON and OFF, plus single click to go to next mode - this is what I prefer, as I've implemented and been using in e-switch firmware for a couple years now, migrated into Narsil. A double click or press&hold from OFF could go to turbo, but the UI is more consistent using press&hold from OFF to go to turbo, because it's the previous mode from OFF - it's consistent. Double clicks will interfere with fast single clicks, so you have to be careful with combining double click and single click operations.
This is all based on the original "Werner UI", but I added the twist of timing out a "lock in", so you can easily turn the light OFF via a single click from any mode.
So to summarize:
From OFF, single click to lowest mode (moon), press&hold to turbo
From ON state, single click to next mode, unless you are locked in to a mode, then single click turns the light OFF
