It beeps when it’s done.

It beeps when you press the button.

It beeps when you place it on the base.

But today, it beeps no more.

I classify this as a repair.

      leds flashlights that all have multimode including rapid flashing

      Or even worse, bike headlamps.

        bike headlamps.

        i’d love to hear your complaints. mostly so if i’ve got something wonky with my bike i can fix it. i’m not trying to blind anyone with that damn thing, just make sure both i can see and be seen. mine’s got less than half the luminosity of a car headlight, so we might be talking about different types of headlamps tho. some people get nuts with their headlamps.

          I used a flashlight mount on the handlebar, and pointed it at the ground in front of me instead of forward into space. Worked very well and didn’t shine into people’s eyes. I also didn’t use the blinkenlights mode on the rear light despite it being the popular option around here — it’s just annoying.

          I’ve had a run-in with blinding lights when I was in a group of people cycling at night, and on a path through an unlit park we encountered a group riding the opposite way. Couldn’t see shit except their lights.
