What was the topic again?
Speaking of sub lumen tail cap switches.
Somebody should do this.

I actually have a funky firefly mode story that's too goofy to not be true which happened a month or so ago There is a low firefly mode on my Tiara headlamp. I was online, maybe even on CPF when the power cut out. There was a freak wind storm and the power wasn't going to be back on that night. On the table across the room there was a faint glow. So walked over and low and behold it was my headlamp. Somehow the firefly must have gotten turned on when unloading the pack from the day's hike.
Hope you didn't step barefoot on a Lego when going to retrieve it.

neutral tints
cool tints
bright lights
dim lights
spot lights
flood lights
search lights
head lights
flash lights
strobe lights
cheap lights
expensive lights
store-bought lights
custom lights
chinese lights
american lights

..."and anyone who says they seriously use (insert list item) is just fooling around".
for me I will use the best tool for the job, and sometimes the best level of light to use happens to be less than 1 lumen.

Good point. I'm not a fan of moonlight modes. But if someone else likes it, fine. The only thing I don't like is if a light HAS to turn on in moonlight mode, and you HAVE to switch through it to get to brighter modes. Otherwise, I don't care if it's there or not!
In before close.

Firefly before firefly was cool.
If only they had firefly mode(s)

Looks great to me!Is this firefly mode too warm tinted. Be honest.
Yeah, does look rosey. But everything else in the pic seems pretty spot on. So maybe you have a rosey coal!I found the 219 coal to be too "rosy" tinted.

I use the 0.15 lumen on my ArmyTek A1 to light up and assist when I have to change diapers on my son at night when he is asleep. And also to get around the apartment at night and not step on the Lego (damn things have the tendency to show up in the oddest places at the weirdest times)

Everyone keeps talking about stepping on legos, all you have to do to not have that be a problem is walk on railroad gravel barefoot a few miles a week for several months, it will strengthen the muscles in the feet so that you are able to doge the full force before it hurts.
Then again most people aren't as extreme as me when it comes to training, next I am going to try to hold my breath for 5 minutes.
Firefly/Moon mode should be renamed Lego mode as they really hurt when you seem to find them in the dead of night.

I'd name ML a family mode. As it is mostly necessary to not awake ones kids, wife, those that we care of. If you live alone enjoying your egoism, for sure ML mode is useless If I had no ML, I'd better hurt myself, but not disturb sweet dreams of my love
As simple as that.

Haha, i had a good laugh at your training methods. Update me when u have achieved the 5mins breathe will ya?
Firefly mode?
Didn't use to like it till my wife complains that my low mode is still too bright, so i am starting to appreciate firefly/ML mode these days in utter darkness moments.

I'm going to close this at least long enough to clean things up. Off topic posts will be removed. Posts discussing the banning of other members will be deleted. Trolling and baiting posts will be removed. IF I open it back up, and this persists, further action will be taken.
Edit- As much as I think it's a viable topic, I would think it best to let this thread go. Should the topic arise in the future, I hope it stays more civilized.
