I think having the same switch as in the Photon Freedom would be pretty nice.
Press switch and let go for instant 100% Brightness / Keep on holding for slowly going up from the lowest mode to the brightest (if i remember correctly the photon has 10 brightness modes, but im sure this would work just as well with 4-6), after that it shortly flashes up, if you keep on holding it cycles through the strobe modes and SOS mode.
Its possible with a button cell microlight that is concurrently being sold for 14 bucks, so it should be possible with a Cree-driven 1 / 2 AA's using fullsized light too, no?
Maybe they could also produce a cheaper, minimalistic version of it in the old LxT/LxS Style where you simply unscrew the head a bit for low. Or just make a new Head, as an upgrade for folks who already own a Fenix LxT/LxS.
Btw, just like a few before me already said... having a minimalistic low (1-2 lumens) would be really nice, but id like to keep the SOS mode (not that i ever needed a sos-mode, but you know, having it and not needing it is better than ...
)
