My flashlight has 5 modes and is cumbersome to use as a regular flashlight. Is there a way to alter it so it will only turn on high and then off?

The "CREE XML-T6" has no switch memory. Applying power cycles the emitter driver to the next stage. I don't know what sort of driver they are using but chances are you would have to completely change out everything inside the light aside from the emitter, reflecting bowl and tail switch.

Usually its memory keeps record of state when it was switched off. So when you switch it off at HIGH mode, it will, or at least it should go ON at high mode next time.

No, and it's a problem with this light. Every time you turn it on it goes to the next state, bright, medium, dim, strobe, SOS then back to bright. I don't think the designers of this light were very familiar with using flashlights.

On mine if you press the button all the way in and release it the flashlight turns on and off at the same setting. If you press the button halfway in it changes modes. I just put it on the brightest mode and then make sure to press the button all the way in when turning it off and on so it stays in the same mode.

Unscrew it till it just, only JUST goes off. Then, 1/4 turn clockwise=on; 1/4 turn counter-clockwise=off.

You would have to take it some where and have it changed , which I would not do. There is a smaller creed Q 5 Sure Fire which was fewer lumens and fewer dollars. I also felt there was not much difference as far as brightness. The Q 5 can also be mounted on a scope.

Press the on button twice rapidly. That seems to work for me. This way you bypass the flashing mode. Hope that would do it

Why does anyone think people want more than 1 mode on their flashlight?! Seriously, I have NEVER needed my flashlight to flicker annoyingly, or needed a dim flashlight. The different modes are nothing but a pain!

You simply twist the head of the flashlight (the end where the light is) until it comes on. And untwist it to turn it off.

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

its a 3 mode flashlight High ,Low and Strobe it will cycle the diff modes so if you turn it off on strobe the next time you use it it will be on High be it 10 sec to a year.

Jon - That's actually one of the features of our "BrightStart" Technology. Every time the you turn the flashlight off, the next time you turn it back on it will come on at it's brightest mode (it also does a bit more, but that's one of the features). After field testing early models with multiple first-responders and hunters, that was the #1 feature that they requested, since the vast majority did not want to always be cycling through the modes each time they turned it on to get back to the brightest mode. :)Sincerely,The Guardian 1300TL Team at Intervine

Unfortunately 5 mode unlike the claim that is it a 3 mode. This requires pushing the button more often to get back to the brightness that you want - very inefficient!

The micro switch on the bottom turns it completely off. The switch on the side changes the mode, first position is for the flashlight and the second position is for the stun gun function.

Definitely not. The tail switch is dual mode. Pushing it in until it clicks turns the flashlight on and off. Pushing it gently (half press) cycles through the modes. However, since a half press always comes before a full press, every time you turn the flashlight on or off you will also switch to the next mode.

The control switch is located on the rear of the flashlight. The unit has 5 modes....full, half, dim, pulse and SOS modes, which take place with pushing the on-off button.

Yes. It has high, medium, low, strobe, and SOS modes. You select from the options by rotating the end of the flashlight.

It has 3 modes. 1 steady on (functions like a regular flashlight) 2. Slow Blink 3. Fast blink like a strobe light. To switch between them you click the flashlight on and off quickly.

I use it with the remote button and I only have one mode with that attached. May be different with the regular button in the flashlight.

Negative, it's strobe on or strobe off. No further adjustments available, great flashlight though.

Not sure sorry How ever if you have problems with the Flashlight jumping through modes you should be able to tighten up the end where the button is good luck

Turn on the flash light, then press the power button about half way down. This will change the output to the next mode (high, medium, low etc)

Mine only has 3 modes high low and strobe but it cycles through the modes with the on-off switch.

Yes. If you turn the head of the flashlight 1/8 th of a turn clockwise, it will increase the brightness from low, to medium, then high. If you have the flashlight on high, then turn it off and turn it on again, it will remember the last setting, and be on high. So yes, you can have the first push of the button be whatever brightness you would like.
