Just need to know what modifications you want, in terms of where you want it moved to (e.g. on some of my lights where I did want momentary, I moved it to 12C) or removed completely, and any other changes to build in. A lot of the modifications I’ve already written, it’s just a case of which patches for me to merge, and I can merge the 8C aux switch mod as well.
THX. I need to document all of the things that I am changing manually. I will do that and send everything via PM so we don’t clutter the thread …
Imo 5C is very useful, not that you’d need it often, but it is better than a 4c lock out. lock out resets when power is reconnected, 5C does not. So if you want to prevent someone using it and blinding themselves or someone, mom. is great. If I understand correctly you can set the brightness of mom. mode, unlike lockout.
Thou it is not bulletproof, there is a chance someone would accidentally unlock it. My kid used to play with my kr4 when he was 2-3. i always lock it before clipping to my belt, but he would keep clicking the button, and sometimes did 4c and deactivated it.

I can unlock any Anduril light by doing physical lockout.
iow, by loosening the body tube and then retightening, the light becomes unlocked.
That means a child can unlock without doing any clicking, they just have to twist the head loose and tight again. That means they can get to Turbo or Ceiling with just 2 clics, unless Turbo is specifically disabled in settings, and ceiling is lowered in settings.
Also when changing the battery, the light gets unlocked.
Lockout mode is primarily meant to prevent it from burning a hole in your pocket or your bag, not to make it kid safe. That’s why it has 4C to get out, something not too intrusive.
Other modes are for kids. Many of us like simple mode as you can limit the max power, and it’s near impossible to get out of via 10H (unless maybe trying to simulate strobe mode), but also disconnecting and reconnecting won’t get you out of it. But you could use momentary mode or tactical mode if you want 2 or 3 levels/modes available if you aren’t worried about them escaping.
This is false, otherwise how would you get out of momentary / tactiacl mode? Light is on when the button is held, otherwise it is off, and it lets you click any number of times in order to light paint or morse code however you like. Power being disconnected and reconnected is the only way to get out.
You can set the two brightness levels of lockout mode as described in the manual here
[quote] Lockout mode also doubles as a momentary moon mode, so the user can do quick tasks without having to unlock the light. The brightness in lockout mode has two levels:
1H: Light up at the lowest floor level (ramp vs stepped).2H: Light up at the highest floor level. (or the manual mem level, if there is one)[/quote]

I always use momentary at an eye-safe level whenever a child requests a light. To prevent them from escaping momentary I use 2 little-documented Andúril features, screwing the head and tailcap cap on pretty ~ fscking tight and supervising children playing with overpowered electric lights.
It’s hard to screw it up in simple UI.

Their kids like strobe mode, and that is why 10H can sometimes be hit.
This is why in that thread there are discussions about having somehow configurable or different templates of Simple UI available.

I know this is an unpopular opinion these days, but what happened to just saying “no” when kids want to play with something that can be dangerous or that they can screw up?

It does not always work, i mean sometimes you are just not around, and they get a hold of different things. obviously you hide/lock those that they should never touch themselves, (g8ns, poisonous chemicals, knives,…) but you can’t ban them from touching everything.
They want to use strobe mode that’s why with the original firmware there is no strobe mode in simple UI.
And since going into strobe is 3H and then 2c to switch, they end up in weird modes 
I don’t know if you have children.
For me they are my children but the youngest is 17 years and the oldest 21 years between children and nephews uncles we are many in the family outings to the countryside and parents also end up in rare modes of UI Anduril.
I explained it above.

Yes I do. 
It was a general comment and not directed at you specifically, but it gets mentioned a lot and not just here. At work we have the company-owned iPhones configured to wipe themselves after five incorrect passcode attempts. We’ve had someone come in complaining about this because her child kept wiping her phone and demanding that we change the security policy. When we explained why that wasn’t going to happen her response was “Well, he’s just going to keep doing it!” We I suggested that she didn’t let him play with it she looked like I’d kicked her dog.

You misunderstood me.
I use a translator.
When I say children, I mean my children, even though they are older and can safely use flashlights, they are not small children.
But I will always say my children as something affectionate.
I was just making the comment about not leaving flashlights with small children.
Has there been any solution for this.
See here: Try to get out of anduril behavior - #5 by Edeke
In attempt to clarify @litris’s position (even though your comment isn’t necessarily directed at them), their adult kids and family want to use strobes and @litris wants to give them access to strobe, but does not want to have to hand them a complicated manual or have them asking for help when ending up in a random menu.
One solution would just be telling them to unscrew and rescrew the tailcap to get out of any momentary mode or menu. This likely will get some eye-rolls and those people will be less excited about it. Also they could still certainly accidentally change some random setting, or even accidentally hold a button while screwing it in and reset it.
Adding a way to access strobe modes to from Simple UI via some configuration or UI change as linked above would solve this. Or if they always wanted strobe one of us could just build them firmware with Extended Simple UI, but that would require them to have a flashing kit and always want strobe in Simple UI (and thus it wouldn’t be as safe to hand to younger kids)

You understood, thank you.
Not all modes come out by removing the cover, on several occasions I have had to do a total reset because they touched all the options .
But it becomes unusable or almost unusable since in summer at night there are 30° and the default anduril ceiling is 45° in a few minutes in a normal mode lowers significantly the illumination.
I have looked that the latest version supports or so it seems the strobo mode in Simple UI by configuring it.
But it keeps it with the 3H more complicated for the initiated.
For me the 3C is ideal for strobo and easy for everyone.
The 3C for ramp is annoying even for me, I change ramp many times without realizing it (I spend with the turbo 1C or with the lock even if I always use 1/4 turn cap is faster).
The soft/staggered ramp mode I never change it, I use soft on some flashlights and staggered on others but once set I never change it back.
Personally it shouldn’t be on a 3C as it’s something you don’t need to change often.
But a strobe to protect you from an animal if needed and the 3C is the ideal place, so it is in many flashlights of recognized brands 2C turbo 3C strobe 4C boqueo.
But that’s just my opinion.
And in simple mode would be perfect that configuration, I would even eliminate the battery and version in simple mode, I never use them I go by the color of the led and charge them before going out besides carrying spare.
I never worry about the voltage value of the battery, if it runs out the led shows it and I change it for another one.
Thank you.
Well, your security is pretty inadequate, it needs to be changed, kids are not the only reasons, a butt dial, a pocket dial, can set it off the same way, Maybe you company needs to do what blackberry did, 4th wrong pass attempt, type in blackberry before proceeding to unlock the phone, this way the phone kinda knows if it is just random input, or deliberate unlock attempt. that lady has a point.
Other than the aforementioned lack of parental control, the only time we get phones brought back in that have been accidentally wiped is when people forget their passcode and keep stubbornly keying in what they thought it was until it resets.
Also, while I am familiar with the Blackberry implementation, Apple chose not to do this and re-coding IOS to introduce that functionality is not something I can do.
100% agreed.
