After some searching I found some similar threads but all are several years old...
What would be your ultimate UI for an EDC tactical light?
For me it would be a 1x 18650/2x CR123 cigar light with a momentary only tail cap switch that defaults to Max brightness for tactical use, a side switch for normal use (click on/click off) user selectable for brightness at 2 levels. One with the head tight, another with the head loose 1/8 turn.
This would allow access to momentary max in tactical situations with an ice pick grip, and two brightness levels for every day use with a conventional grip.
Many lights have most or all of the hardware in place to do this already... Manufacturers are you listening?
I'm intentionally staying away from emitter selection, beam pattern, optics, etc. to avoid too much complication in the thread.
What would be your ultimate UI and light configuration?
