I've had this idea for a long time and I'm surprised no one has implemented it. Nitecore came close on the HC90, but I don't know of any other lights.
This would seem to make most people happy in the UI "war". One hand (finger) operation, either totally variable or 3-5 predefined "clicks" (so you could better estimate runtime), pretty much instant on to turbo and moonlight. No momentary, but since you could slide it so quickly, it almost wouldn't matter.
I guess the problem would be the space required underneath the switch, not being waterproof, and accidental activation. There may be a way around this but I'm not an engineer so don't ask me!
I "stole" a switch from a Dremel and Photoshopped it into the TM16. What do you think?
