You just need to push the button a little to change modes. You do not have to "click" the switch. It will not cause wear on the switch.

Yes each time you press the button at the rear of the flashlight takes you to another mode, steady light, strobe, S.O.S. If you turn the light off for a bit the first button click will take you to the steady light mode. I've had these lights for a year now and they are still working fine. If you look around, Ultrafire also makes a light that has just the steady light mode, though I'm not sure of the model number.

No. Pressing the switch until it clicks will toggle on/off. Pressing the switch part-way will advance through the modes once per press. The only downside is that when you turn on the light it will be in the next mode from the one it was in before the light was turned off because while clicking the switch does turn off the light, it also advances the mode. However, you can cycle through the five modes quite quickly once you are used to it. Its not ideal but i have used mine almost everyday for the last two years and it really isnt very annoying.

Everything will be as it was. The Orico push button switch is not an electronic type on-off switch. It is just an old fashion type switch, "In=circuit closed", Out=circuit open". So, you do not need to push the button again.

The same switch-button that is used to select the speed is also the eject button when it is pushed. This could be an issue for some people since one might push down on the button in the process of selecting a speed. I haven't had any problem with it, however...

No, this switch does not automatically return to the off position. It has 3 distinct positions. On-Off-On. You must physically move it to each position. Try searching for a "momentary" switch.

Honestly I'm mot sure. I did take apart the switch unit to see if there were posts to change the frequency. When I opened it I noticed the main board was a very cheaply made one materials wise. I would wager the seller intends low amp and voltage for the unit. Im not an electrician but I do know computers. Im basing my guess on personal observations.

The switch does fade in/out to the set point. It seems that it ramps up faster than down, I haven't timed it though.

i don't know for sure, but my experience with digital push button power switches means that you would have to manually turn it on after it looses power. I'll check tonight when I get home and can let you know tomorrow.

Should just be able to push the button to advance through the modes. HOWEVER, I have bought two to the smaller models, advertised to be 3-mode that were, in fact, only one mode. Because of incorrect advertising, Amazon, not the seller, refunded my charges. Keep in mind, these are knock offs from China.

Hey Tom, if you haven't seen it yet, here is a you tube video that shows you how to switch modes. Hope it helps. Bubba Earl. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQsRdH8IP_0

The switch position never moves when you use it remotely. It always stays in a center position and springs back there after you move it manually. Hope that helps.

I never had that problem, it worked well for me. There might be a problem with the switch.

I believe so. There are different setting using some DIP Switch for different modes.

I have been having major problems with the switch. It will not turn on by pushing it. I have to plug it in to get it to turn on! I need to look at returning it.

Yes, as long as you get the switch that is not a "maintain"I did not end up using the switch, I actually needed one that does maintained so i ordered it as well, and I still have the first switch I purchased. Not sure if possible to resell this one or not. lwinters@greenwayeng.com

I would say yes. I had mine replaced. Sent email and recieved new switch. Free of charge. Great set up for the price.

I suppose its based on your controller. In my case, you can set conditions and events. So if a condition is met, the switch can be triggered and then immediately be un-triggered making it "momentary". It is not as fast as a button press, but it is pretty quick (5 seconds or less).
