once a year I email my favorite flashlight manufacturer to ask if they’ve finally made a flashlight that just turns on and off when you push the button, and every year they’re like, “no, but thanks so much for your feedback!”
be honest, have any of you ever used the flashing feature on your flashlight? did it actually come in handy? handy enough that I have to scroll past it every single time I want to turn my flashlight on or off
There’s nothing logical about that to me. Double/triple click? No one outside the flashlight community would have a clue how to use these lights (and I own a handful).
Sequential click through low/med/high/off is intuitive.
I have labels on some lights so people can use them. Imagine that, having to read a label to use a flashlight. Oh, that’ll be great in a power outage.
Do you just not read the user manual when you buy something? Thats how i learn how my lights work without being a flashlight nerd scouring forums.
I mean, yes, rtfm always, but at the same time flashlights are solved problem and they should not require a manual for anyone that’s over the age of six.
