I ordered one just recently, if this one has SOS, and not just HI,Lo, &amp; strobe, did I get the wrong model?

If you have three modes Low,High and strobe, you have the real thing UltraFire WF502B CREE T6 XM-L 1000 Lumens . If you have five modes it is a cheap copy and dim display. I have bought 3 and got the right one twice E-cloud and prettylight and a fake from SunnyStore8 with a LED array 1/4 the size of the real one.

The one I ordered malfunctioned as soon as I put batteries in it. Strobe Ans SOS flashed one time and quit. I returned it.

it should not be flashing as default, it cycles through through the settings as you click. goes like this : high-medium-low-strobe-SOS-repeat so if you just turn it on and off again, it should work

I bought two. At this point both are strobing and need to be replaced. So I guess the answer is no and also it doesn't matter because product is junk

Yeah. Standard beam is the default. Hold on or Click on is full on. Tap on twice and you get the strobe.

read the product description dude!! -do you only see stuff thru you fon and cant scroll, or what?? //rant off. YES, it has strobe, I can verify by having one in my hand...but I also could have read about the product. FWIW, the strobe isnt real fast, but still disorenting if thats what you are after

Yes, mine was the same, but we still love it compared to the other ones out there that you can buy. It gives out way more light with strobe effect compare to other comparable products that we've tried.

Not at all. I have both the 11 in and the 14 in models and neither have shown any strobe effect. (But I have only had them for 1 month or less).

Yes, that is the same strobe that I am using mine on - an excellent combination, I am very happy with the setup.

Yes, I'm aware of the underwater case. Also, the one from Ikelite is much better. I'm more concerned with how the pictures turn out underwater with only the underwater case (w/out the strobe)?

You tried holding it for a couple seconds? I just tried mine and I held it for a couple seconds (no more than 5) and the hour started flashing. If that isn't working then yes I would say you should return it. I would definitely suggest getting another though cause I am very happy with mine.

Not sure about the replacement but I had a problem with the order of the flashing modes and the support was good. Call them.

I actually own one from early 2012 (when they were "300 lumens"), and a new one that I just bought in late 2013. The old one has a blue hue and seems brighter than the new one, which has a yellow hue. Unless my new one is defective, the bulb has actually changed. I tried swapping the batteries between the two to see if that was it, and was the same. Older one--blue hue and brighter, Newer one--yellow hue and dimmer. Honestly it's a little frustrating because I was expecting the same brightness and hue.

Thanks Kevin. I actually ordered another one and same thing. 2022427 was first one. second I believe was near your serial number. Maybe it is the d7000?

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.

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.

Mine worked fine and so far it's great. Much better than Sw***er. You need to have them replace yours - sounds like a defective model.
