[Closed] exposure diablo

haha, yeah they are way too over complicated. had one for 2 years and still need to read the instructions every time I go out with it lol.

So I'm not the only one. Would be nice to have a light that I've just layed out £ 100 s of pounds for, to actually get me home without having to read the fu?king manual.

For context, getting caught out on a dangerous road with my new diablo, almost got killed because the car drove into me. I was stopping every min or so to keep trying to turn the bloody thing on.
Buy a front light, I expect a front light

Which version is this?

Mines simple, press twice, it's on , press again to change power, press and hold to turn off.

Same with mine! And I've got one of the newer Maxx-D's with the eight different programs but once you've picked the program which works for your riding it's exactly the same as the Diablo to use.

how ever if you press for too long and enter programming mode it will do as the op describes

the programming is confusing but I guess it's handy to be able to customise it. I run just two modes; medium and high.

The key is to [i]not[/i] enter the programming mode during normal use, as that what it sounds like you are doing

I guess if you try to turn it ON rather than off with one long press you could end up in a state of massive confusion. Don't do that though and that's the problem solved, isn't it?

All said and done, and despite the useful advice above, I actually prefer the old system without the different program options. Less choice, but sometimes that's not such a bad thing!
