How many modes does this light have? (ex. low, high, strobe etc) Also, how do you cycle through each of the modes on this light?

Only has 1 mode "ON" you can adjust the beam by rotating the lens from flood to spotlight. Very bright No regrets in buying this light!!!

Two: on, off. The throw pattern can be adjusted at the front from flood to spot. This is not a fancy flashlight, but it is very bright for its size.

It only has the high mode. Push the button to turn on, push again to turn off. You can partially push the button for momentary on, and release to turn off. It is a very nice bright light, which I mostly use for mechanic work. It is very bright for it's size, which was exactly what I was looking for. I couldn't understand how weapons lights could be so bright, yet so compact, so i found this one. It works great. The CR123 batteries are expensive locally, but are reasonable on-line. Battery life is better than I expected, not sure how many hours. It has an adjustable ring to go from spot to floodlight. I bought a second one. Highly recommend. It only has the high mode.

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.

This one has five settings, high, medium, low, strobe, and SOS. I would have preferred a simple on/off switch only with no other options but it is bright and that is what I was looking for. Hope that helps.

The one I got alternates between off, wide area, off, narrow area, off, strobe, and recycles. If yours never turns off then it is either defective or there is some adjustment that I don't know about that simply cycles the 3 light options rather than turning off the light between them.

There's others that are similar. This one's color show is as follows: White | Red | Green | Blue | Teal | Yellow | Purple | Blue/Purple | Green/Yellow | Blue/Teal | Blue/Purple | Green/Yellow | Blue/Teal | White | Fade Each to Black: G B T Y P W R | Fade Then Blend: R G B T Y P W R | RGB Strobe Show (Fast -&gt; Slow) | Slow Fade 10s: Y G T B P R | RGB Strobe Show (Fast -&gt; Slow) | END. Not sure why some of these are doubled up, might be small differences/nuances I didn't notice. Anyways, that's how mine seems to work. If you go OFF then back ON within 10s it goes to the next selection. If you power off and then leave it &gt; 10s before powering back on it will stay at your last selection. Cool huh?! :]

Yes, it has three modes:hi- low power and strobe. You just click to turn it on, and tap to change modes.

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.

4 modes if you count "off". the "on" mode is very bright although there could well be a decimal point error in advertised lumens. It is too bright to look into (unpleasant in "flash"). Would anyone recognize "SOS"? Looks well made. I liked the first enough to buy 4 more. AwlDwg

The one I received was a 5 mode. High, Medium, Low, Strobe, and S.O.S. I only wanted 1 mode as it was described.

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.

5 modes, high, med, low, strobe, s.o.s. You cannot choose, you have to cycle through all of them

Some Cree chip tactical lights have up to 5 modes: steady high-med-low beam + strobe & SOS. If only 1 mode, then probably only hi beam.

The amazon description says there is a 4th mode, a moonlight mode, and that mode is described on Streamlight's website. I believe this is a newer model. Anyone selling the 3 mode light is an older design.

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

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.

Hi Mathew, I don't think there is a low beam mode but there is a strobe, and you just cycle the on/off quick. Hope this help.
