whats difference between 1 mode and flashlight, in the selections?

Hi. The single mode is when you push the on button you have a great flashlight with a beam that can telescope. The 3 mode is when you push the on button you can have a regular solid beam, a lower beam or a flashing mode. Hope this helps.

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.

I thnk the one mode flashlights are bright only. The other type has 3 modes, bright, strobe and low. I am not sure how to tell which light is offerred by individual sellers if they do not specify.

One mode is just off and on. Some have multiple modes... High... Low... Strobe. I've ordered from the same people twice and got both types. The three mode ones work great so I reordered and got the one mode and they are a piece of junk so beware.

Short answer, no. Long answer: It seems there are multiple variants of this flashlight that are sold. Some have a memory function that at least keeps it in the same mode on each power on. Others have a memory function that is used by turning it on with a long press. I have noticed also that sometimes when turning it on with a normal short click if its been off for a while it turns on in the same mode I turned it off.

Read the web sight for Viridian. This light has 3 settings one is a strobe, one is instant on, one is just on or off. Real easy, one button, very bright!

It does have three modes, but since it does not have a reflector, the projection is less than half the 1600 it claims, in my opinion. No reflector is ridiculous. I have never seen a flashlight without one.

Just one button is lit for whatever speed you've selected. Definitely not too bright.

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.

I cant answer your cuestion but i am really disappointed with this flashlight it feels cheap and the remote switch only works as long as you keep pressing on it I thought it was gonna have the same function as the switch in the back of the flashlight

The button controls all the functions of the flashlight. You have to hold it down for a few seconds to turn the light on, the same thing to turn the light off. It takes a couple of times to get used to the switch. You'll like this flashlight, especially the rechargeable battery feature.

A further comment. I picked up another one of these flashlights from LED Wholesalers at one of their trade shows in 2013 and discovered the model had changed. If you have the model with the rubber button on the back, it is as the others have said a binary switch. The older style with the metal button is the one which can be flashed.

Yes, that's normal, and no, I don't like that about the flashlight, either. I am considering going to a site, like dx extreme, or ebay, and getting an on-off switch to replace the 5-way switch. They are ridiculously cheap, and would prevent a lot of aggravation.

Definitely not. The tail switch is dual mode. Pushing it in until it clicks turns the flashlight on and off. Pushing it gently (half press) cycles through the modes. However, since a half press always comes before a full press, every time you turn the flashlight on or off you will also switch to the next mode.

There is no manual sent with the flashlight, the particular model I ordered is the Ultra fire XM-LT6. With this model you have to click the on button each time you want a mode.

The switch itself is on/off. However, it is the "driver" (or circuit board to which the LED is soldered that determines the "modes," such as single mode (on/off), three mode (on, high, strobe), etc. Mine came with a five mode and I order Z single mode in white and green for $10. It just drops in behind the reflector. Again, any switch just cycles through the modes as determined by habe driver. These are not just ordinary flashlights. The driver controls voltage and other features. When battery voltage drops below a certain threshold the light just stops working rather than getting dimmer. Hope that helps.

Both are single mode only. Also, mine overheated after about half an hour of use (I took it off and used it as a general flashlight), I have no idea where to find spare batteries for it. I guess invest in a better system, this one is crap if you intend on actually using it (range, drills).

None off the above, neather summable nor focusable, its beam is so strong you would not need the mentioned. Unit comes with 5 mode. Strong, med,low, strove, sos. You would be amazed of how strong ana well build.

The micro switch on the bottom turns it completely off. The switch on the side changes the mode, first position is for the flashlight and the second position is for the stun gun function.

It has 3 modes. 1 steady on (functions like a regular flashlight) 2. Slow Blink 3. Fast blink like a strobe light. To switch between them you click the flashlight on and off quickly.
