The instructions mention "Click to Turn On/Off' Press To Select Brightness". There is only one kind of response I have gotten from the button, though, which is to turn off/on AND cycle the brightnesses. Example usage:
1. Off 2. Press button to click, starts on low 3. Press button to click, off 4. Press button to click, turns on at medium 5. Press button to click, turns off 6. Press button to click, turns on at high.
There is no non-click press I am able to perform that has any effect on the light. I find this pretty disappointing, as I would like to be able to pick the brightness with one type of interaction and toggle on/off with another. I was planning on using this for looking around inside machines I'm repairing on low intensity most of the time, turning on and off as needed. Instead, I'll now have to press it 5 times to bring it back on at the desired intensity.
After looking through the discussion, I saw talk of two different types of switch parts. Are there any of the other kind (that have separate UX for changing intensity and toggling on/off) that Massdrop could send my way?
Are there any other AAA LED lights I could buy to use instead of this one?

sprayYou want a lumintop tool aaa (basically this light) with the rubber reverse clicky switch. it's basically exactly what you want it to do, full click turns on-off, half-click changes brightness, only drawback on that switch is that it doesn't tail stand as the switch protrudes.

sprayUGH i had the same question... since it has a tail switch I assumed it would click to turn on. But I don't want to give up tail-stand ability. Dammit!
