Hi Tom,
some suggestions for the next version of NarsilM.

I would suggest to double the time to enter settings. From 8 seconds to 16 seconds or 20.
(Edit: The 20s would interfere with the jammed button protection)

And change the clicks for RAMPING and MODES in the settings.

Here has one and his friends problems. They accidentally end up in the settings aka wild blinks.

I think he has a point making NarsilM more robust against wrong operation.

If I handle someone the light I tell “don’t press for longer than 8 seconds”.
I think extending the time can help. The only backside would be if some switches often between MODES and RAMPING. But I guess most stay in one UI.

I guess you used 8sec to be able to switch quickly between RAMPING and MODES.

The sequence to change is:
Hold the button till it blinks the first settings, then one or two clicks and then hold the button till the lamp confirm with four blinks.

In retrospect I think it would also better to change the first setting to
1 click = RAMPING
2 clicks = MODES
Today it’s reversed.
Only for the reason RAMPING is mostly used and people try to switch off the lamp if it starts blinking.
