Is the strobe mode fast and blinding or slow for signalling like "- - - . . . - - -" (SOS)? Looking for something to disorient an intruder.

Just a standard, epileptic inducing, strobe (about 2 per second). It's really annoying, and I wish there was a special button just for it... but alas... not on this model.

The strobe mode flashes about 3 times per second. It is not blinding and I would not rely on it as a personal safety device.

No strobe setting on this model. They have a multifunction programmable light. It runs about $129. Constant and Momentary High, Low and Strobe Reversible High/Low to Low/High Capability Strobe Disable

They do have a "Strobe" mode. You have three settings, that you are required to toggle completely through before the unit turns off. The settings are low, high, and strobe. For the money though, I think these are the brightest flashlights out there, and highly recommend them to all my friends.

One mode is just off and on. Some have multiple modes... High... Low... Strobe. I've ordered from the same people twice and got both types. The three mode ones work great so I reordered and got the one mode and they are a piece of junk so beware.

The answers are yes and no. It is on only as long as you press the switch, and there is no strobe setting on this model.

No Shauna, it's not all THAT bright. It's bright enough, but not so much so that it will hurt your eyes. Of course I'd only use the strobe feature for a highway warning or something like that. But the normal light settings are just like having a two-brightness lightbulb. I bought my two mainly for home usage when our electricity goes out; but they'd be handy for camping or keeping one in your car as well.

No, but if you are a right hand shooter and have proper hand and grip placement the switch on the left side can be manually tapped quickly to be a strobe. I like this better than a true strobe because this way I can activate it AS needed, ie. When the barrel is facing the intruder, I can then strobe him or her to surrender rather than a constant on/off strobe that gives my position away.-Oakland, CA resident

It's only momentary, and there's no strobe ability. Good luck what u r finding.

As far as I know it has 3 modes: high, low and emergency strobe. I have never used any but the high.

I can't tell you the actual lumen setting for the SOS setting, but I can say that is pretty bright. I would assume that the SOS setting will run for a while because it's intermittent, even though I would prefer a steady strobe settings instead. It's a very well built flash light, but remember this thing runs off of 9 AA batteries, which all get linked together in a battery pack. But it is as bright as you would expect from 1000 lumen, and it's not much bigger than a standard 2 d cell flash light. If it means anything, I have 2 of these, and when you focus the beam tight on the high setting, you can feel the heat coming off the light.

Yes, it strobes (flashes) at a predetermined rate. The object of this of course is to temporarily cause a confusion or distraction to the sight of a potential attacker. For its size this is a fairly bright and sturdy little tactical light.

There are 4 mode buttons on the back. Macro for close range. Self timer option. Various Flash functions. Brightness adjusting. The instructions included will explain how to use these. I hope this helps. STM

the pair i bought only have constant mode..there is no strobe effect..i just went and checked them to make sure..they are bright..with 2 distinct light intensities

No, it defaults to 1st brightest mode each time you turn it on. Strobe is 4th push.

Set on low or high (NOT strobe mode), depending on the amount of ambient and street lighting, I find it sufficient for lighting the ground in front of my bike to allow safe and confident progress at up to 15mph on streets with which I'm familiar. I wouldn't want to go faster because the further the light is aimed, the more diffuse is the bright spot it projects on the ground.

Yes it does. Three clicks for strobe mode, two clicks for the brightest setting regardless of which mode you're on. Also, a long time press will activate the moon light mode which is pretty useful when you don't wanna disturb other people.

If switched immediately, it will go to the next function. If this is delayed, it will default to the bright light position. Push switch, but not fully, and it will go to next function. It is a tactical device as the bright light or strobe will temporaly blind attackers allowing them to be shot multiple times. Carry plenty of ammo.
