Is the Flashlight only have the 3 modes, also is this really 1600lumen?

It also has a " s.o.s." and strobe mode but its brightness was greatly exaggerated

It should be noted that "lumen" can mean many things depending on how you obtain a lumen measurement. At one foot away with the "zoom" at max spread the light produced 4800~4900 lux which is about 450 lumens/sq ft. Though when focus to a point the light produced over 90,000 lux which is about 8,300 lumens/sq ft. Unless you can find definitive data that explains the lumen of this light (or any other light in existence) the advertised brightness of a flashlight is meaningless. It's would be better to look up the datasheet for the Cree XML emitter and search for visual examples of the light (using quality 3.7V 18650 Li-Ion bats of course).

As to the question about 1600 lumens, NO. The single most important thing about an LED flashlight is the Driver, not as much the LED itself. Even if it has a "real" XML-T6 CREE chip (rated at 1040lm) it will not output 1600lm especially when it's under-driven. Asia is full of "knock-off" products like flashlights, batteries and CREE LEDs. The bottom line is a manufacture of almost every flashlight will not drive them hard enough to get the rated lumens from the LED. It creates heat and a lot of it plus it drains the battery fast. AAA batteries will not handle that load either, it takes a high output Li-ion battery. As to the question about 1600 lumens, NO.

4 modes if you count "off". the "on" mode is very bright although there could well be a decimal point error in advertised lumens. It is too bright to look into (unpleasant in "flash"). Would anyone recognize "SOS"? Looks well made. I liked the first enough to buy 4 more. AwlDwg

Has high, med, low, strobe, and SOS. And it's no where near 1600. The led inside is not even the one advertised. Maybe 700 lumens at best.

It does have three modes, but since it does not have a reflector, the projection is less than half the 1600 it claims, in my opinion. No reflector is ridiculous. I have never seen a flashlight without one.

I'm not sure its an "actual" photo BUT it is a VERY bright flashlight. I'm thinking of getting another one.

I am sorry but I truly have no idea. I know it is the brightest flashlight I have ever owned and I do let everyone know it is worth the money. sorry I could not help with this question.

Don't know where they are getting 216. Maybe adding the hi/med/low? It's not 216 on high. It is 180 lumens on high setting. It's a great flashlight. My original got ran over in Afghanistan and it still works great. I had to straighten the threads but no big deal. I've also accidentally washed it in my jeans pocket with no issues.

Not clear about your question. But I will tell you it is the BEST flashlight we have ever owned. We have bought 4 for family and friends. My son is a BMW mechanic and has dropped this in a vat of chemicals and it continues to work. It is not cheap but well worth the dollars spent. Hope this helps.

There are many of the flashlights here, make sure you pick one that has the charger and 2 batteries. Mine was 12.50 and is awsome, super bright. It said 5 mode but was only 3 mode. The link I clicked for your question says 'batteries not included' . So search for another one that is included.

I'm not sure it has modes. If it does, I haven't found them yet. Personally I regret purchasing this flashlight, the batteries are over priced and difficult to find. Buy something that takes AA

It's the flashlight and charger. However it is not 1000 lumens. It is closer to 600 lumens, which is still pretty darn bright. I have ordered two and my dad has also ordered one and we both think they are a great light.

Mine has (3) modes:1) High2) Low3) StrobeOnce the flashlight is on, just "tap" the on/off button on the bottom and it will switch between each of the 3 modes.

The answer is yes. This flashlight has four simple functions with the same on off button. You get bright flashlight, less bright, strobe and SOS. All four are very simple to engage by gently tapping the same on off button

not that I can see... bright, medium, low, strobe, SOS, bright...etc.What a great flashlight...I just got it tonight and I am tickled.So far I am very happy with the quality and the purchase in general.

Sorry, I do not know. I have 3 flashlights and did not keep any information but I never look directly into any light.

There are 5 modes. High beam, mid-beam and low beam, strobe and sos. Battery lasts for about 4 hours on the high setting a bit longer on the lower settings.. I did try the strobe mode by leaving it on for 3 hrs. It still was flashing but the brightness was reduced which is okay which ahows that you still have power. This is a good light.

Its a3 mode light and it is extremely bright. I feel it is well worth the price!
2140833
I dont know what that is, bit its a really good flashlight. Its small but you'd be surprised how bright it is trust me.

There is only one mode...on and off. But as flashlights go, I would rather have this compact (approximately an inch longer than the palm of a man's hand) flashlight than most other flashlights I have used that have several possible light settings.
1426012
Yes. It has high, medium, low, strobe, and SOS modes. You select from the options by rotating the end of the flashlight.
