How do YOU prefer to access M1/M2 on a Zebralight?

From the off position, what's your typical method of accessing M1/M2 on a Zebralight?

I listed "It varies/don't care" for those that either choose an option dependent upon a certain situation, or that don't really notice or care that much.
Please don't select "/don't care" if you don't own a Zebralight, or consider this survey irrelevant.

I would edit that option to simply just "It varies" if I had that kind of moderating power, but I don't.

Both here depending on situation.

High- quick click.
Low- hold switch to one count then release switch.
Med- hold switch to count of one-one thousand and then release switch.

The count to one-one thousand is also the way I pace all my back swings of a golf club. Sometimes I will practice my backswing pace using medium. I will setup with my ZL simulating the club and then I will press and hold the switch, releasing the switch at the top of my back swing. My usual errors are on the side of light still being in low. :shakehead

Most of the time, I just use the double-click function.

Good question. Usually a double click for me too. I'm too lazy to wait for the hold, even though it makes more sense so you're not blinded with H1.

Situationally dependent. If I'm in a situation where I'm not going to be blinded by the flash on high, I double click. If it will blind me temporarily, I click and hold.

For example, if it's daytime and I'm indoors and there are lights on but I need to look behind a desk or in a closet, there's enough ambient light that the flash of high isn't going to bother me. If however I'm outside, it's dark, and I'm walking along the side of my house, that burst of high is going to make me see stars for a few seconds and I'll likely be tripping over the garden hose as I'm adjusting. In that situation, I click and hold.

I think it would be better for me, if Zebralight could turn on M by single click and H by double click.

Could be getting off topic, but why don't they, or any other manufacturer, basically kill the UI war by using a "sliding" switch. I'm not sure what to call it, but think of a Dermel variable speed tool. Of course, not that big, but I'm sure there's a way to make this work on a mid-large light.

One click to moonlight...fast swipe all the way up for max mode, everything in between. And if they want to specify runtimes/output, it doesn't have to be variable...rather 3 or 4 "clicks" between off and high.

That's effectively what the variable control ring lights do though I agree that a thumb ramp that could be operated with one hand would be awesome. One concern with a slide switch would be accidental activation. I can see it ramping up to high as I slide it in my pocket.
