>>1389999>>1390000Damn double quads, witnessed.
>>1389996Well then that does suck.
>>1390018I find that with most well designed single button interface lights I can get to the mode I want almost instantly and with one or two clicks. Only needing 3 or more clicks for lesser used functions like beacon or battery read out. Some lights take a few clicks to get to Strobe, but typically it is still very fast to access once you are used to the light.
As for what you are looking for in particular, I can't think of a multi mode light that has independent switches or switch position per mode. However some lights have screw heads, where clockwise is brighter and counter clockwise is dimmer, like my EagleTac G25C2.
>>1390050Almost all lights made by the big brands have IP67 or IP68 ratings, it's just about standard. More so almost all of these lights use 18650s or other common LiIon batteries, or a proprietary battery pack which is essentially made from a selection of the same base cells and circuitry, not to mention most use Cree LEDs, sometimes they de-dome them but that's uncommon. More so the materials, anodizing, and machining are pretty universal. There is some difference in machining, a budget brand light Thrunite tends to be less detailed than a Fenix, but functionally there is little difference.
It's kind of like buying a car. All the brands makes some good ones with similar specs, similar prices, and some minor different options and features, all will get the job done, but some have particular features that suit you better.
