And that's my point: Those who pick up the Touch and find it useless due to inadvertent switching will at least be able to use it. But the real solution would be to either make an eLuminator 2 with the Touch's form factor and clip, or to continue to offer both lights, just as they do different cases.
Here's an idea:

Include the button, and then add a dimmer slider. It would be a hit, just because everybody loves dimmers.
