Disco is dead - or it should be.
Look, your car headlights manage just fine without cycling through SOS, beacon, strobe. Why should a hand held light be any different?
Oddly enough, just about every car made in the world has several strobe modes (turn signals, hazard lights), of which no one ever complains about because they are not in the way during normal operation, plus they sure are handy when the need arises...
There's enough of the high quality flashlights that make you cycle through them routinely. The Olight T25-T is an example of how even some of the best quality companies don't understand the user part of the U.I. And that's just one example of how a simple overlook can flaw an otherwise great light. I've done a lot of searching and you'd be surprised how limited your choices can be due to things like this.
Luckily, there are a few great series of lights out there for those who never want to stumble into those functions when they don't need them. You just have to do a lot of searching for them before making your choice amongst the ones that fit your needs.
Olight is a great example of how to get a UI wrong (memory forcing strobe every cycle rotation). There are plenty of other companies (most of them) that get it 100% correct, by placing strobe in the UI separated from the general modes, never forcing you to ever use or even see it unless you intend to.
Great examples are Fenix, Quark (4sevens brand), NiteCore, LRI (Photon), Dosun, etc.
