I had not been aware that the voyage does this and did not have it with me yesterday. I tried it out today, and it does behave a little differently compared to the Oasis 2. The Voyage brightens as light increases util it is in sunlight, when it goes dimmer in several steps before stopping at 0. these steps are shown in the brightness setting box if it is open. The Oasis 2 goes directly to 0 when exposed to sunlight.

I tried a 200 lumen LED on the voyage last night, but that was too borderline to get reliably repeatable behavior.

One other minor difference was the Oasis 2 turns its light back on as soon as it enters a shadow. I had to close the cover on the voyage or take it indoors to get its light back on.
