Do any other lights use the Surefire two mode momentary switch?

After owning a SF LX2 and EB2 I really think this is the best switch design imaginable. Soft press and hold for momentary low, firm press and hold for momentary high. Twist on for constant low, twist further for constant high.

This is great since it retains the ability to get to either mode in momentary instantly without having to cycle around, or worse, guessing which mode is first if the light has memory.

Do any other lights besides those from Surefire have this type of switch? I think this would be perfect for a 2xAAA penlight.

It is a design I believe they hold the patent on. My guess as to why you are Hard Pressed to find many other lights with this feature.

Hard Pressed! Get it! :hahaha::hahaha::hahaha:

I've been looking for something similar - clicky. My HDS and Quarks can provide that functionality, albeit with some limitations/work-arounds, but I need at least 3 modes.
