What won me over right out of the box was how intuitive the UI is.
I saw that it needs a triple-click to change modes (spot -> flood -> spot+flood -> red). From that point, I never needed to open up the manual since every other function was exactly what I guessed what it would be. Click on/off and hold to cycle through brightness levels. Long press from off to start in moonlight mode for whatever your last mode was. Double press for turbo. (And a strobe mode that I never hit accidentally.) Sofirn designed a better interface than other companies have been able to design with two buttons to work with.
So, that it has lots of useful light modes, a great UI, and even onboard USB-C charging in a light that’s packaged into the same form factor as the rest of my aluminum tube right angle lights is seriously impressive.
