can it be programmed so that the first mode that comes on is strobe? I dont want to have to cycle throughother modes of light just to get to strobe

It can't be reprogrammed that I can tell, but it's quick and easy to turn from the end modes (low to SOS) and strobe is next to SOS. I thought it would be hard to work with but after a couple times that is not the case at all.

I don't think programing is possible on this model. However, whatever mode you have on when you turn it off, it restarts in that mode. So, you can set it on strobe, shut it off, and when you start it again it will be in strobe mode. Hope this helps.

sort of. There is a manual setting that is used to determine how bright the light is, and one of the settings is the strobe. So, set the manual setting to strobe, and when you turn on the flash light, it strobes. Be careful though, the strobe is very disorienting if you look directly into it. My wife thought it was just a flashlight, tried to use it one night and almost blinded herself...

Yes. Not really a program but it has a selector dial on the back that allows you to pick the mode and leave it there.

Yeah where ever you leave the selector is what will come on and off when you push the button. So you can select whatever mode you want by spinning the "dial". Then turn it on and off in that mode.

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!

My lights do that, too, and I read the instructions. If you push the mode switch, it will continuously run thru the 8 modes. You can't just pick one out of the 8. I like the way they keep changing, but I suppose if you just use the on button, you could get a steady light.

the remote is limited, it is set to go between 3 colors. or other patterns. Will stay on one color. Have not tried the strobe function

The other switch it on/off. Once on, a light press will cycle it through the five different modes.

The modes are built into the led light / board. Not the flashlight. I bought 2 lights and 1 was single mode other was 5 mode and I was able to swap them and one advertised as 5 mode was always 5 mode.

No, the unit can only transition through all the colors in the color palette. It can not strobe in just one color nor can it be set to transition between just two colors.

Mine has actually High,mid,low, strobe,SOS. The transition from high to mid and low is barely noticeable. The way I made the switch it tap and hold the switch so it switches mode. Another reason for yours might just be three modes

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 strobe setting on this model. They have a multifunction programmable light. It runs about $129. Constant and Momentary High, Low and Strobe Reversible High/Low to Low/High Capability Strobe Disable

I lost my manual also and was wanting to know if anyone that purchased it can supply information on the different modes for the light. I had mine set on 16 which was when you pushed the button the light came on. Other than that I am in the dark!

You have to cycle through the modes but I think that you can leave it in a mode and when you turn it off and on again it will be in the same mode... I think, I have not messed with it since last fall, I use it as a bike lite.

Momentary on only, no strobe. I like this kind of switch, no accidental switching between modes....only one mode, a nice bright white light.

you can make it flash or or be constant , you just have to click over and over again until you have what you want ... one click turn on , another will turn it off , clicking again will turn it on on another mode ...

I have one of these. I see no way to program the lights beyond setting the color from the remote. The remote has buttons for on/off, brighter/dimmer, 16 different colors, flash, strobe, fade, and smooth. I don't know what the flash, strobe, fade, or smooth buttons do. The light can only be controlled by the included infrared remote. There is no other control. One of the settings allows it to fade between different colors automatically. It's not really a stage light, but it does put out colored light.

It has only the one mode setting when switched on. Great flashlight for the price.

You would likely need a relay to drive the strobe. Typically it doesn't come on immediately so another form of light might be better for the few seconds the chime switch is closed.
