Looking for a quality light in a compact form factor and most importantly no extra modes. I want a single button that turns the light on and off. No brightness settings and for the love of god no strobe mode and no colors.

now that i got used to the arkfeld combinations, going directly to low (hold) or boost (double press) is a must for me but i understand your frustration as not all torches are designed that well.
i hate one of the torches i use regularly: 3 taps to turn the side light on, followed by singular taps to switch between modes 🤦
with twist to on/off, even with 2 modes, you can treat the torch as 1 mode (maratac?)
☞ olight iMini 2 has only 1 mode
I can’t deal with the Anduril 2 firmware’s “advanced UI mode” mentally without a manual in front of me. I feel like it might be more workable if there were more buttons or some kind of additional indicators or something. It’s just too much overloading of one button for functionality for me.

But, yeah, I do like the simple UI mode with the brightness adjustment. Is it essential? No, but it lets you both have a bright light and a light that doesn’t blind you and is battery-friendly, and I think that it’s legitimately handy to have that.
Sure, it’d cost a bit more to put, say, three buttons on the thing. But you’re getting a flashlight with firmware in the first place. I mean, what do two more buttons run, a couple bucks?
