In keeping with the subject of having a good strong 200+ lumen front blinkie for day use I have some thoughts / ideas to add to the discussion; Do any of these lamps have "mode memory"? I ask this because it would be real nice to have a lamp like this that you can turn on/off and have it save the last mode you were in so you don't have to cycle through the entire menu when you turn it back on. This might not seem to be so important to some people but if I were using a lamp like this I wouldn't necessarily want to leave it on and just use up the battery when not needed. I would just want to use it when I feel I need to use it and have it at my beck and call at a moment's notice ( without having to cycle, press and hold...etc ) to get to the mode I want.

This falls along the line of "useability". I want a slow flash and I want it instantly. If I want to suddenly catch the attention of someone pulling out of a driveway I don't want to be dilly-dallying around while trying to dial in a flash mode! Do any of these lamps have this kind of feature? if they do I'll buy one. My Axiom has the slow flash as the LAST of 4 modes in the cycle ( and it has no memory ).

Right now the only thing I have for "instant on/off flash" is my helmet torch which uses a five mode drop-in ( with memory ). This works but is a very bright/fast strobe/flash. While useful it has it's limitations. I'd really like to forgo a helmet light when riding in the day. I suppose I could buy a small CRC123A version for the bars but the flash would be too fast to use for more than a moment ( without annoying everyone around me including myself ).
