![]() ![]() These don't force you on unidirectional cycle loop. These have shortcuts from off, or even allow you to preselect the output before switching on. Like, what's the point of moonlight mode anymore if your eyeballs have been fried? You have "1 tail + 2 side switches" (e.g., Nitecore MH27, MT10C, MT20C) that would solve this issue, or "1 magnetic rotary ring + 0 or 1 tail" (e.g., Jetbeam RRT01, HDS Rotary). From low mode trying to get to moonlight mode: you need to blind yourself through medium, high and then turbo mode. On that note, being forced through one direction of the UI is annoying too, and most flashlights with "1 power button and 1 mode button" have this issue, e.g., Nitecore MH12S, P10iX, Acebeam P16 Defender, Fenix TK16 V2.0, etc. If anything, I'd rather have the side switch moved to the tail because it's harder to AD there even though that means having 2 active switches, i.e., the dual-tail design (e.g., Acebeam P16 Defender). So, the latter has a UI that I'd classify as "instant disqualification". I'd even argue that having an active side switch is what enabled pocket AD to happen in this design. Meanwhile, the M2R Pro is full of incidents of AD. It can sit all day in my pocket and nothing will happen as long as I don't lean onto the tail switch. The MH12S isn't prone to accidental discharge (AD) because the side switch is inactive while the flashlight is off. For example, let's compare the Nitecore MH12S to the Olight M2R. I certainly do not miss having a side switch, especially if the side switch has the authority to power on the flashlight. ![]() This definitely means absolutely no quick multiple clicks or timed holds.* \Note: Nothing wrong with Skilhunt or Anduril, I just hold a high expectation that my EDC flashlight must be easily operable by a person with impaired hand mobility. I'll summarise the problem I have with single-switched flashlights : It either offers insufficient control over the light output (e.g., single-mode, two-mode, mode memory aka "no control from off") or involves an overcomplicated UI ( e.g., High 1 High 2 toggling on Skilhunts or Anduril\*). There's plenty of more convenient alternatives. Just one switch for EDC? I see no point getting myself used to it (tail or side regardless).
