When you cycle through the modes is the sequence OFF -&gt; HIGH -&gt; LOW -&gt; STROBE-&gt;OFF or is it OFF-&gt;HIGH-&gt;OFF-&gt;LOW-&gt;OFF-&gt;STROBE-&gt;OFF?

On mine, it's technically high-off-medium-off-low-off-strobe-off-sos-off. But you can just depress the button part-way to get it to the "off" setting instead of clicking it, making it a quick half-press to cycle between high-medium-low-strobe-sos. Usually I use it on high, so I just half-press the button through the modes until I get to SOS, then I press it fully so it's set for HIGH the next time I use it.

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.

No. I use it quite often on both modes and it works very well. I assume you mean flash.

My light has 5 modes. The remote switch is temporary on. If I wait more than 8 seconds between turn-on, it will be the bright setting. But if I turn it on-off-on in less than 8 seconds it toggles through the modes. Very annoying for a weapon mounted light!

Hi, you can do both. When in auto, its only an auto/off mode, whereas in P mode, you can also set it to "always on" and "slow synchro". Slow synchro "keeps subjects and distant backgrounds brights".

No, it turns off between mode and mode. Eg.High beam, onTurn off, turn on: medium beam on,Turn off, turn on: low beam on. It goes like that for the next flash and SOS mode.

This one has five settings, high, medium, low, strobe, and SOS. I would have preferred a simple on/off switch only with no other options but it is bright and that is what I was looking for. Hope that helps.

I was really interested in this question before I bought these bulbs so I'll try not to over complicate this answer haha: If the bulb is on and you cut power to the bulb using your house light switch or lamp switch the last setting is forgotten and when power is turned back on to the bulb it will default to the strobe setting. If you turn the bulb off with the included remote and turn the bulb back on with the included remote it will remember the last setting. If you turn the bulb off with the included remote and then cut power via lamp switch, then turn lamp switch on and then turn on bulb with remote it will remember last setting. SHORT ANSWER: If you turn off with remote - YES it remembers last setting If you turn off power with lamp switch - No it forgets last setting

The modes change with each button press in the following sequence starting witth OFF: ON (solid)-OFF-ON (FAST BLINK)-OFF-ON(SOS pattern)-OFF. However, the flashlight can act erratic sometimes as it isn't 100% repeatable depending upon how quickly the button is pressed. I believe the control feature is fairly unsophisticated and as a result the function is somewhat indeterminate. I haven't used mine for long periods of time so I can't speak to the long term reliability of the bulb, but when its on it is extremely bright. I hope this helps.

The strobe feature is optional (no extra buttons). Just press the ON/OFF button twice quickly in sequence to turn on, press once to turn OFF. Normal mode, press once for ON, press once for OFF.

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.

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

It controls off on and modes. Hold it for 1 sec. It turns on to the brightness mode you turned it off at. Hold for 2 sec. and you get the strobe. Once on click the button to cycle through the brightnesses. I came from a surefire p2x pro with tail switch and had absolutely no trouble learning this.

as far as i'm conserned, it goes only to automatic mode. it decides by itself when to use it. although, it can be switched off. i usualy don't use flash.

Hi, this has 3 modes, normal (power), low, and strobe. Im very happy with it

It depends on how rapidly you push the button. If you press the button really quickly twice, it will activate the strobe, if you click it really quickly three times it will activate the low setting.

Yea this lights a bit different than most. Tap the button once to turn it on, once on HOLD the button down and the light automatically cycles through three brightness levels, low, med and high. Now here's where it gets tricky: when the light is OFF if you hold the button down it activates "moonlight mode" which is ultra low for late night illumination. Once moonlight mode is on, holding down the button for a sec will continue to cycle through the other modes. Phew! Ok, one more, a quick DOUBLE TAP of the button when OFF activates a fast strobe used for defensive purposes (it's supposed to disorient an attacker).
