I haven’t had too many lights, but I find that lots of modes is just kind of annoying because it’s hard to gauge “where you are”.

My sofirn SF14 has only 3 which works pretty well.
My H03 has 8 modes (in 2 ranges) which is just way too many.

For me, it depends on the light. For hiking/camping, I’d want a lot of focus on preserving battery life, so something like, firefly, 1-3 lumen, a camp range of maybe 20-40 lumen?, and one high mode of 100-200.

I hate seeing AA lights where the “medium” mode is over 100 lumens and only lasts 4-5 hours. That’s just impractical IMO.

For a light that will stay at home, I don’t have to worry about battery life as much.

Matchoo · 2018-04-27T04:53:42.000Z

Submitted. I definitely like a light that starts on moonlight and has no disco modes.

Survey answered. Both the questions and selectable answers are on point, so lurking paid off, eh

Also, welcome to BLF! :partying_face:

survey completed

WalkIntoTheLight · 2018-04-27T12:26:26.000Z

I did your survey. My only additional comment is that users of flashlights received from promotional gifts, are likely very different from the flashaholics taking your survey. For general users, you want to keep the UI very simple and basic. For flashaholics, the UI should require a 10-page spreadsheet to operate.

Phlogiston · 2018-04-28T02:19:50.000Z

A new thought: are you considering a neutral white LED for your flashlight design? Neutral white is often popular among people in the know for the EDC-style flashlight your questions seem to imply.

Done :+1:

Zappaman · 2018-04-28T03:56:57.000Z

Done,

But feeling like some questions were kinda steering towards a final light I MIGHT like for say camp, while a small carry around the house/farm would be a different light (for me)… so depends on the application. Still I’d like to see final results (especially for high setting timing… .4 Vs .5 seconds Vs… ?).

Taken and submitted.

Pulsar · 2018-04-28T05:04:05.000Z

Did the survey. There was a few questions that gave options that conflicted with my desired modes for a flashlight like this, but answered the best possible
