I am SO over multi-mode flashlights - I just want to click-on, click-off. No strobe, I see, but is there bright/dim? (I don't want that...)

The strobe feature is optional (no extra buttons). Just press the ON/OFF button twice quickly in sequence to turn on, press once to turn OFF. Normal mode, press once for ON, press once for OFF.

This is a click on click off light and it is pretty bright for the size. I say it is well worth the few dollars you will pay for it. Just be prepared to wait a month or so before you recieve this light it has to come from China. I suggest ordering about 2 or 3 after you establish the fact that you like the light or not. That way if you lose 1 or 1 goes bad you want have to wait a month for another 1.

on mine, it comes on bright and then you gently push the button to go to dim. if you press the button gently again it goes to strobe. every time you click the light all the way off it comes back on bright

No bright/dim or strobe, just an on-off button on the bottom, and zoom. You zoom by sliding the front ring that holds the lens forward for spot lighting and back for wide angle. Simple and it works great! The flashlight I ordered was from Ford Ex group.

Its not really bright dim its more like if you pull the end out it gets more precise, or if you pull it in it goes wider..You can still just click it on and off

You have to cycle through every time. To get to dim, you have to turn the flashlight on and hold the power button down, it will go to medium then dim. Strobe you turn it on, then off, then on again within a few seconds. Wish you could set the brightness but you can't.

A light press will change the mode. If you push harder, the button should click and turn off the light. If that's not happening you have a defective flashlight.

Momentary on only, no strobe. I like this kind of switch, no accidental switching between modes....only one mode, a nice bright white light.

My light has 5 modes. The remote switch is temporary on. If I wait more than 8 seconds between turn-on, it will be the bright setting. But if I turn it on-off-on in less than 8 seconds it toggles through the modes. Very annoying for a weapon mounted light!

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.

Unfortunately 5 mode unlike the claim that is it a 3 mode. This requires pushing the button more often to get back to the brightness that you want - very inefficient!

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.

You can not disable the strobe, but it is only activated when pressing the smaller button when the light is off. The main button defaults in the highest power, and once turned on, you can cycle through high, medium, low and back to high beam. I use the light in it's high and low beam only, and have no issues. I love the light and want to buy a second.

After you turn the flashlight on, press the on/off button slightly to toggle between different modes. If you press too hard it will turn the light off.

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.

The keys have 2 levels of brightness as well as off, for no lights. There is one button that lets you set it on, brighter, or off.

Using the off/on button at the rear of the flashlight, turn it on. Then slightly depress the button the to change settings. I too, had a problem figuring that one out. Great flashlight for the price.

No.The units I've purchased thru TangsFire, if you hold the switch "off" for just a second, it remembers the last setting. If you click it off quickly, it seems to turn on to the next setting. I have not been able to find these thu the Ultrfire website, and there is some differences in the beam from flashlight to flashlight. There is also a 3 mode available that did not remember the last setting so be sure you know what you are buying.

yes. when the light is off you press the button amd it comes on bright. press it again amd it goes off. just like normal.in order to get the dim mode to shine you must press the button 3 times really quick. so everytime you turn the light on it shines bright.

It seems that you may receive a flashlight with only on/off and you also may receive one with Bright/Dim/Strobe. The seller is sketchy but it is a cheap price so i say its worth it.
