if i turn this off in strobe can i get it to come back on in strobe, or is there some other way to get it to come on in strobe without having to cycle

It should come back on in whichever cycle you have it in. My light works that way. Neil

Yes, it remains in whatever setting it was last in. Terrific piece of equipment.

Actually the switch is a slide switch. Left to right 1st time is on normal do it again and you have strobe.

it'll be the next from the last turned on because it goes through push-on-push-off. Push on "high", Push off "high", Push on "low". Push off "low"... next day, push on "strobe"...

You can force the flash while out of "auto" mode. You have a programmer with several option for the flash. It's really simple to use.

The answers are yes and no. It is on only as long as you press the switch, and there is no strobe setting on this model.

There's two buttons. The larger button is for the 3 light settings and the smaller button for the strobe. If you hold down the strobe button for more than three seconds it will stay on until you press the strobe or larger button again. Hope that helped!

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).

First, this light is not designed to strobe. It is only on or off mode. If it is in a strobe mode then you might have internal contacts that are not seating correctly or some other physical issue with this light. I do know that some of these have tail cap click issues where they have to be screwed in really tight or the clicker will not turn on the light. Of course you can always remove the battery too. I have three of these and so far all three have functioned fine. I have bought 2 others as gifts and one had an issue of the clicker not turning on the light. Making sure it was as tight as possible stopped that issue. And, you could return it to have it replaced to. Good luck! First, this light is not designed to strobe. It is only on or off mode.

Neither - no strobe function that I can find. Strobe isn't indicated in the product description either. EDIT - Sorry - The strobe is very fast. I didn't receive an instruction sheet with mine and I just stumbled on how to select the low intensity and the strobe functions the other night.

Mine is doing this also. It's not an overly steady strobe - more random. The flashlight does not have a strobe setting, so the person who said that it is switching between modes is wrong. It's weird - it's not as flickery as when a normal flashlight has a bad connection.

Mash the button down one time to give you bright. To change to the lower intensities hold the button down and it should change to a lower setting. Keep holding it down and it will change to the dimmer setting. To have it strobe, mash the button quickly 2 times and it should strobe. If I can help in any way I will be glad to do so.

It's not really disabling it but if you tap the switch twice it strobes so it's either turn it on or use the momentary on but if you tap it twice it will strobe

That is not normal. If it's in the return period, return it as defective. Otherwise, if it's under warranty see if you can get it replaced. If you can't return it or get it replaced, does it show the same behavior when it is set as the master as well as when it is set as a slave (assuming it's in slave mode when it triggers on its own)? You should try all the different settings on the strobe to see if it will work properly from at least one setting or combination of settings that might make it useable.

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.

It has 3 modes plus off -- off, high, low, strobe. If you click the end button all the way, it goes off-high-off-low-off-strobe. Once you turn it on, you can then click it half way and it goes high-low-strobe-high-low-strobe. You need to click it all the way again to turn it off.It is very bright on high. The high and strobe are very irritating if aimed right at people.

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.

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.
