Press for on, hold to cycle modes, double press for turbo.

A lot of lights have that UI. Anduril merely adds a few optional options to that. Many UI's that people regard as "simpler" than Anduril are pretty much just Anduril Simple UI with 10H removed.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people fail to realize that.

I have several Andruil lights that I really like. The problem for me is that I frequently need the internet to remember how many clicks or holds from ON or OFF are needed to get it to do something I want or need. Andruil is great but the complication (outside of simple mode) just isn’t always desirable. The other downside to most Andruil lights is that they commonly use FET or direct drive. For folks who prioritize flat regulation, it makes most of them less desirable.

Anyway, there’s a place in my collection for all kinds of UI’s. That’s part of the fun.
