My review of the KLARUS E5 chewing gum flashlight.
Great value flatlight, but the UI nearly sent me to the funny farm…

Good grief. Lunatic that designed that UI should be at a funny farm.
Honestly I could live with all of it except the strobes in the pain pattern. and the 3 second gap for mode changes… or …hmmm… Never mind.
One nice thing about it though, I got to see some other lights edgewise and realized how thick they are… Good grief, they’re all bricks, kinda defeats the purpose for a flat light if its thicker than an 18650 anyway!

Sometimes I don’t want to bash a UI too badly as it can just be me that has an issue with it but this one nearly caused me to just quit the review.
It gets even worse, when you’re tired with cold hands and a switch that’s on a very slim smooth surface.
I think in hindsight, sack off strobe, double click again from Turbo for Police mode and triple click to swap front & side lights.
This frees up hold for mode cycling or even off.
4 clicks for lockout.
