Skilhunt has one of the least complex UI’s around. Press for on, hold to cycle modes, double press for turbo. Not sure if too many share you opinion of it being “complex”.

Not sure what “lumenitis” is, but most people are excited for the H150 because of the Nichia 519a in 4500k, Skilhunt build quality, and excellent drivers with flat regulation.

Simple UI, flat regulation, 519a? What else could I possibly want??

I’d gladly trade the simple UI for a DWIM UI. If there were a blatant sign that I crossed the line between " thermally unsustainable" and “I can do this until I am about to swan-dive into LVP territory” then sure. As it stands, I think slightly better mode spacing is required.

That said, I think Skilhunt gets it less-wrong that the fanatically-worshipped Zebra UI. At least Skilhunt/ESKTE/Skeet puts their thermally-unsustainable modes in Turbo by default.

Idk about current zebtalight ui’s but my H50 has simple L-M-H 3 level UI that is fine. I like the DWIM idea, that gradually tapers brightness for very long runtime as the battery depletes.

I’m on mobile rn, will reply to your other post later.

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.
