Can I assume that this skullbeam is NOT focusable? And has only a very tight spotbeam?

No tight spot beam nor is it focus able. It has a high, low , & emergency (blink). As a person who appreciates a very good skull light this is by far my best purchase. I have one and purchased 2 more as gifts. Very bright light with longevity in vision range.

It is very bright and is not focus adjustable. The light is so bright it spills over in surrounding area.

well put it into a different focus mode like one focus instead of continuous or just do manual focus. there should be no other motor sound i love my hs30exr have had it for almost 2 years.

If the model you are inquiring about is a zoomable light, the only thing to do is extend the bulb end of the light to adjust the beam to a small rectandular spot. The light is designed to minimize the glare outside the beam and produces a much more concentrated spot. Simply pull the flashlight as if you are trying to pull it apart end to end.

no. you can adjust the beam to wide or focused, but not the brightness. hope this helps.

Agree that it's probably not the magnification they say it is. My issue is that the light is not strong enough.

It is a spot light, you would not be pleased with the narrow beam. However, if you diffuse it with wax paper or something similar, the beam is much softer and wider.

I have 2 units. The old ones' range is about 45% to 90% and the new ones' range is about 30% to 65% As long as there's a range on both ends of the lever travel where the brightness does not change, you are getting the full range and it's OK. My major concern is that my new one does not focus as well. The dark spot in the center of the flood is darker and there is a ring around the spot on the distance beam. However these are the most useful lamps I own. The battery contacts are gold plated. Battery life is good and the output is amazing.

Occasionally it messed with the focus for a second or so til it worked things out but i never noticed. Here's as good a test as you'll see. http://youtu.be/cj5NBvNEksg

There is a way to focus but it will be a trial and error because the image on the srceen is not very clear. If you still have the owners manual, it gives a step by step on how to do it. I was able to focus mine rather easily. Good luck.

It is a pretty noisy les, yes. You can clearly hear the focus and the aperture leafs.

I had the same experience, I was not able to get it to focus at all . I have tried during different time of the night/ and month with no luck.

A couple of easy things to try. The big eye you aim at can tilt and be hard to hit if not glued down. Also check all the connections, even the power plug.

I found it dropped from high beam to low beam immediately, within a second or two of turning it on. This started after I had it a few days and tested it for an hour or so each night. I consider it to be defective. I bought two, they both had the same problem. I would not use it for my bike. I'd get a special bike light. In some states a special bike light is best, due to laws regarding size, intensity, and color of bike lights.

So I bought this for my kids too, but I would say that they have difficulty opporating the focus. The only thing this is powerful enough for is looking at the moon. I would recommend spending a bit more and getting one that can find celestial opjects for you.

There is no beam focus adjustment. I don't recall this feature being mentioned anywhere in the product description.Best of luck.

Its a macro lens. Try getting as close as posible , you almost have to be touching the object with the lens for it to focus
