Yeah. A few years ago I bought a new TV. Got it home. Could not find the on/off switch. Next day I was near the store where I bought it, stopped in and asked where the on/off switch is. They said it is on the remote.

Over time fewer controls have been available on the actual tv as they migrated to the remote, until finally you can't even turn a tv on or off without the remote.

I really hope the same does not happen to a bike light.
