is the strobe a 'slow, help find me' strobe or a 'fast, distract an assailant with brite light' strobe?

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.

Strobe-speed is not adjustable. The unit shows up on your system as a dimmer-switch, and 0-50% only sets off the strobe, and 50-100% adds the siren as well.

Yes - The "See-Me" LED Rescue Strobe does allow you to deactivate the light so it doesn't activate in water. You first turn the light top clockwise fully to the "ON" position and then turn it fully counterclockwise to the OFF/AUTO position. Although the instructions state that the light might not activate in regular tap water, I tested the light in a pot of tap water and it does function as designed (you must slightly agitate the water, I guess to simulate wave action). This is a really good strobe. The instructions are well written and easy to understand. It only takes about three minutes to read them, test the strobe, and fully understand its operation. I carry it as an emergency beacon in an Eberlestock Operator Pack I have set up as a mission-oriented emergency pack. I purchased the strobe more for use as a location beacon for helicopter extractions rather than for water purposes but it certainly will work in both situations.

When I say strobe, think of a strobe light. When holding the flashlight button down, it would flash at a high speed, instead of staying on solid.

Yes, it strobes (flashes) at a predetermined rate. The object of this of course is to temporarily cause a confusion or distraction to the sight of a potential attacker. For its size this is a fairly bright and sturdy little tactical light.

Hello Laura, No, there will need to be sound along with the strobe. Thanks. www.FortressSecurityStore.com

It does have the strobe function, but there is a way around it... You don't have to cycle through all the modes if you don't want to, there is a tactical mode available... With the flashlight off, just press and hold the button for a second or two and the light will come on full bright, when you let go of the button it will turn off. Or, in high mode, press and hold the button for a second or two and then release, the flashlight will go off without having to toggle through the strobe setting. If you press and hold in low mode, the light will turn to high mode, and will shut off when you release the button.

If switched immediately, it will go to the next function. If this is delayed, it will default to the bright light position. Push switch, but not fully, and it will go to next function. It is a tactical device as the bright light or strobe will temporaly blind attackers allowing them to be shot multiple times. Carry plenty of ammo.

The flashlight produces a constant beam of light at the first click. This can be broad beam but when the barrel at the front is slid out its a narrowed, square shaped beam. At subsequent clicks of the button switch at the rear of the light, a strobe effect results again, in broad beam or the narrowed version. No instructions came with the product so I'm assuming that's the two modes John.

No strob. Just on and off. I can say that the beam is very concentrated and bright. I would say at 50 feet the beam might be 6 feet across. Would blind any perpetrator and the laser would give a fright also. I hope this helps. I think it is a good product for the money.

No, but check out stream light. They have a version that is even brighter and may have a strobe. Good luck

As far as I know it has 3 modes: high, low and emergency strobe. I have never used any but the high.

I'm not really sure if you mean actually "blinding" someone or "disorienting" an attacker. I can't tell you if the laser will blind an intruder because it's never recommended to shine a laser in your eye. I mean, it's not a light saber or anything! Quite frankly, I'm too chicken to test your theory on my own eyes! LOL. But, the strobe light feature on the flashlight portion will disorient an attack in a pitch black setting. All in all, if you're looking for a "blinding" laser I'm not sure how to help. But, if you needed a pretty cool and decently priced tactical laser/light combo, you'd be quite impressed with it's accuracy as well as it's brightness. Hope this helps, buddy...enjoy!

This strobe has a modeling light about 60W for continuous lighting. It's not very bright. I just use the strobe for the flash

To turn the flashlight on you must hold it for 1 second and then pressing will cycle the brightness modes. To turn the strobe on hold the button for 2 seconds and hold it. If the button is released the strobe feature will stop. As for user friendliness it works fine, but if it can be difficult to locate in the dark, so I put a little grip tape over it to have a different texture that's easy to find

Low---one, high---2, there is no medium, strobe---not sure if you really want to know buy it and you look into it, as a head light I do not believe there is anything brighter. Great product, the battery pack will hold its charge for months if not connected. I am a distance kayaker this is great for setting up at night.
