No. Henry has never documented it. Didn't even want it on the "Pioneering Technologies" page of the website.
My grain of salt regarding the HDS.

Haha!
I saw it on the software edit history section of the FAQ page. It is, however, followed by "(undocumented)".

Yep, and he didn't call it "candle mode"
It is as close as he will get to acknowledging it. If he didn't put it in here, it would leave everyone who knows about it confused when new software comes out and it's moved... it is also an easy way to figure out which version of software is in the light.

But it is a very well made candle mode, that would deserve this naming. :thumbsup:
Using my Rotary NC27 with the Fenix AOD-S diffuser gives you the romantic felling of a candle without having open fire.
As opposite, I used to have a Philips LED garden lantern. This lantern had a very warm and nice light color, but the candle mode was more blinking and flickering, than "emulating" a candle. The candle mode on this lantern should have been named "flickering". :sick2:

Nice. I think the candle mode is a little too bright without a diffuser. I use the patented CPF plastic bottle cap diffuser to knock off the hot spot.
The idea is cool, but for me personally the brightness jumps in this mode are very annoying if you add at least 5 intermediate values between each jump, it would look more real, now it looks like a old garland))
