This light worked as expected when I received it- now I can't get it out of strobe mode. What am I missing?

When you hold the strobe button for long enough, it stays in strobe, if you have tried clicking the large button and it's still in strobe and won't stop, you may have to remove the battery and wait thirty seconds and put it back together. If that doesn't work you may have gotten a lemon, talk to the distributor and or manufacturer and try to get it sorted. Sorry for your bad luck, I have abused the mess out of mine and it still works like a Swiss watch.

Just lightly press the button on the end. It will change from strobe to SOS to dim to full power. If it clicks, you have pushed it too far.

There are two settings..constant and strobe. If the light has been off a short time a single button push will put it in constant mode, if a second button push is immediately given the light goes into strobe mode. Turn of the light by another button push, wait a short time, push the button and the light is back in constant mode.

I have some self-contained motion sensing lights and one of them started strobing. I had to fiddle with the adjustments on the unit. It has sensitivity, shade/sun and a couple of other adjustments. If your motion activated light has adjustments like this try changing the settings. I think the light goes on then the sensor thinks it is daylight and turns the light off then it repeats. You may also have to put a shield between the light and the sensor.

Nathan I don't have a answer for that. I took out mine and tried duplicating what you described; and I stopped about half in, it started to take an increasing amount of pressure to get it to move. I can ho that might have happened to you, since you had no idea what it was supposed to feel like. If you got it all the way in, you may not be able to get it out. I know by now you've seen the instructions on the end of battery housing. You might try adjusting the light so that is almost all the way back toward the top head strap. This is so you can hit the body of the light against the palm of your other hand. Grasp it tightly in your dominate hand, make sure the battery cap is off and pointing down. I was able to hit with a fair amount of force against my other hand. This may help dislodge the battery housing or get out enough so you can grab it with something. If that doesn't work you may have to try something that may damage the light itself. I'm sorry you've had this problem with otherwise excellent light. Good Luck!

im not sure why you are having that problem. I didnt have any problem with this product. Contact the Hitlight customer service directly, they are excellent about answering questions and getting back to your email!

Because it needs to see the light from the internal flash to trigger it. You can set your internal for fill or lower the setting. Ideally get a remote trigger like pocket wizards to trigger the strobe

On this product the light is a continuous beam, activated by a button on the right hand side. If you have the light on and you turn it off and back on immediately it will activate the strobe light

I have the older generation model of this and it does not have strobe. Not sure if UTG is producing the next generations of this light with strobe but I know that some of them are starting to incorporate that feature.

I have the same problem. Seller is sending me a new flashlight. Don't know about just a switch.

I thought the same thing but i realized there was a blue sticker over the light. Try taking the sticker off and it should work

Sounds like you have a loose screw or sonething. If its the screw that comes loose then thats a easy fix. A drop of locktight on the and your good. I had the same issue with another light and its all fixed!

Did you install the bulb? They're annoying uninstalled out-of-the-box. Look for small white boxes about the size of baby carrot. The bulbs just push into the center of the strobe. If you installed the bulb, then you'll probably need to contact Fotodiox for warranty service.

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.

on mine, it comes on bright and then you gently push the button to go to dim. if you press the button gently again it goes to strobe. every time you click the light all the way off it comes back on bright

You are correct. I have had mine and it did the same thing. Pushing the reset and timer button and the light went out. I cant find my manual. Thank You!

from what ive read, they said just buy another one. mine wont switch anymore either, and its stuck on high. i believe if you want to exchange it through fenix you have to send it to china or some garbage like that. too much hassle. i have switched to a streamlight protac 88033 but i like the output of the fenix more. the streamlight cycles through modes with the tailcap.
