does this light have mode memory? Will it always turn on to the same thing if the mode button isn't pushed?

My hubby says, yes, It has a memory mode. It is an awesome little flashlight. It has a clip and the end of it is magnetic.

No it always, starts at the lowest light setting. Which is nice, since I don't always want that bright light first.

No, it will turn on & off like a regular flash light ( that's how I have it set up). U must use the wire pressure pad for the light cycle to work. Thanks

There is one button on the light. When you click it once it turns on or off. When the light is on, if you hold the button it will scroll through it's three light settings. When you let off, that's where it stays until you do the process again. One thing to note, if the light is off and you hold the button the light will deactivate and you won't be able to turn it on until you hold the button down again.Side note, this is an excellent light! It is very bright and the unit is very durable. I use it every day and strongly recommend it! Best light for the money! And the run time is awesome! There is one button on the light.

The modes are built into the led light / board. Not the flashlight. I bought 2 lights and 1 was single mode other was 5 mode and I was able to swap them and one advertised as 5 mode was always 5 mode.

Like in the previous answer. It starts on low and you cycle through the modes by clicking it on and off/ or soft tapping it. If you leave it on, it stays the mode and it doesn't dim down after a certain time. But. If you have the light off for more than 2 seconds it starts the cycle back over on low no matter what mode you left off on. Modes go from low, medium, high, low, medium, high, strobe, S.O.S, beacon high, beacon low.

No.The units I've purchased thru TangsFire, if you hold the switch "off" for just a second, it remembers the last setting. If you click it off quickly, it seems to turn on to the next setting. I have not been able to find these thu the Ultrfire website, and there is some differences in the beam from flashlight to flashlight. There is also a 3 mode available that did not remember the last setting so be sure you know what you are buying.

My lights do that, too, and I read the instructions. If you push the mode switch, it will continuously run thru the 8 modes. You can't just pick one out of the 8. I like the way they keep changing, but I suppose if you just use the on button, you could get a steady light.

Momentary on only, no strobe. I like this kind of switch, no accidental switching between modes....only one mode, a nice bright white light.

Nope; just solid; on or off. Press button to turn on; press again to turn off. It's a surprisingly bright light, given its size.

I doubt it. This is a pretty low-tech device with only one button. By the time I bought it, my son was old enough (2.5) to press the button if the light turned itself off before he was done. I will say that it's lasted a year of nightly use on the same battery, so that's something!

Yes. The side switch controls all the modes. It's like a camera switch, you press it down softly to change from each position. The flashlight memorizes the last mode that you were in. It's very user friendly, but more important if you're looking for a very bright led flashlight. This is the one.

I believe that you have to keep pushing on the switch to get to the mode of light that you want. I think that this is the most common complaint about this light, but i still like it for the money.

Sorry from what i know no. It does not have a memory backup but I have only done it once or twice. It may be different for you because we have ever light set on controls which may affect it.

No. Turns on with the push button between the two lights and you have to push to cycle to the mode you want or turn it off. But that's not an issue for me.it's only three modes. This is a very bright light! No problem being seen day or night. I'm very happy with it. I've had it for several months and used it every night during the winter here in Florida for about two hours each night and haven't had to replace the battery yet.

Lightly push the power button half way while the light is on and then let up on the button, but don't push it all the way down to turn the light off. Each time you lightly press the button the mode will change.

I do not own this exact model, but I have 10 different models and they all operate the same. The first click turns the light on. Then each light push after cycles through the different modes.

If I remember correctly, there is a manual override capability. I believe, if you have a standard on/off switch, you cycle the switch from "on" to "off" back to "on" quickly it will turn on the light. If you cycle it again it will go back to automatic.
