I see this flashlight has only one button for 5 modes. does it cycle through the modes each time you turn the device on?

If it is turned off for 15 seconds or longer it will always come on in the brightest mode. By tapping the switch quickly it will rotate through all 5 modes.

I do not own this exact model, but I have 10 different models and they all operate the same. The first click turns the light on. Then each light push after cycles through the different modes.

There is one button on the light. When you click it once it turns on or off. When the light is on, if you hold the button it will scroll through it's three light settings. When you let off, that's where it stays until you do the process again. One thing to note, if the light is off and you hold the button the light will deactivate and you won't be able to turn it on until you hold the button down again. Side note, this is an excellent light! It is very bright and the unit is very durable. I use it every day and strongly recommend it! Best light for the money! And the run time is awesome!

Yes it's only one button at the end of the flashlight for all the functions.

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.

Yes it does. It is easily turned on and off with one finger rather than having to twist the head of the flashlight like some brands!!!!

Jon - That's actually one of the features of our "BrightStart" Technology. Every time the you turn the flashlight off, the next time you turn it back on it will come on at it's brightest mode (it also does a bit more, but that's one of the features). After field testing early models with multiple first-responders and hunters, that was the #1 feature that they requested, since the vast majority did not want to always be cycling through the modes each time they turned it on to get back to the brightest mode. :)Sincerely,The Guardian 1300TL Team at Intervine

The modes change with each button press in the following sequence starting witth OFF: ON (solid)-OFF-ON (FAST BLINK)-OFF-ON(SOS pattern)-OFF. However, the flashlight can act erratic sometimes as it isn't 100% repeatable depending upon how quickly the button is pressed. I believe the control feature is fairly unsophisticated and as a result the function is somewhat indeterminate. I haven't used mine for long periods of time so I can't speak to the long term reliability of the bulb, but when its on it is extremely bright. I hope this helps.

Sorry, can't help you with your problem, I bought this 9X TrustFire, but the seller sent me a different brand (CrazyFire) and it was bad from the start, there were only 3 modes instead of 5, hi-med-low and then it switched off when it tried to go to the next mode which I think it's S.O.S. I returned the flashlight.

On my 3 lights if I quickly touch the button it will cycle the light through the 3 levels of brightness. If I hold my finger on the button it will turn the light off. If this doesn't work it is probably a defictive light and needs to be returned.

Are you fully pressing the button in until it clicks? If so, don't; only lightly push the button in to change modes. It should cycle through the other two modes as well (medium intensity and S.O.S.)

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!

On mine, it's technically high-off-medium-off-low-off-strobe-off-sos-off. But you can just depress the button part-way to get it to the "off" setting instead of clicking it, making it a quick half-press to cycle between high-medium-low-strobe-sos. Usually I use it on high, so I just half-press the button through the modes until I get to SOS, then I press it fully so it's set for HIGH the next time I use it.

Mine only has 3 modes high low and strobe but it cycles through the modes with the on-off switch.

The button has 3 settings that cycle thru if you LIGHTLY click it while it's on. first is full power on 214 lums, second is half power 80 lums, third is flashing strobe. A FULL click will switch the flashlight on/off.

The on/off switch has about 20 different modes. If you touch it and wait a few seconds and then kerp doing that it will scroll through until you find the mode you want if its working properly

Joel, the multi function drove me crazy and I sent it back right away. I then purchased the 1300 Lumens CREE XM-L T6 LED 5-modes Waterproof Flashlight Torch + 2x18650 + Charger which is great. On/Off .... if it has other functions they are not set with the button on the back and that is fine with me. The light is very good and the price was reasonable. Good luck.

It turns on bright every time. You cycle through the modes by gently press down on the button.
