How do you switch modes? I cannot seem to get my light back to just a normal beam, even with clicking the tail.

To change Modes you must only lightly press the button, not a full press until you hear/feel the "click" as that only turns it on, or off. If you are still unable to switch modes try removing the battery for a few seconds then re-install the battery and try again. I have also noticed when the batteries are low on power it is more difficult to switch between modes.

I have several flashlights and am not sure which particular light this is, but if you rapidly press the power button you will cycle through the various modes on most flashlights, stop when you're at the mode you prefer.

Colton, I know it is confusing. Geeez, I wanted a flashlight not a computer program. Actually, Jeff Hunt gave you the correct answer. I sent mine back and got a led light that does one thing...cast bright light!

Press the tail switch slightly, until the light goes off, then release. The light should be in a different mode. Continue this action until light is in the desired mode. If you click the switch light will turn on and off in the same mode. I hope this helps.

I have no problem switching modes. All I do is the same thing you do which is click the button on the end of the cap. It switches from normal, to low, to blinking, etc. You must have gotten a defective flashlight.

By twisting it on and off, it changes between the 3 settings. It defaults to the lowest setting. I thought I would hate this, but I don't mind it at all now. I love this flashlight.

Use Super Macro mode and make sure you have excellent indoor lighting if doing this indoors. Otherwise, use a light box or set up outside. :)

Try pressing the button on the emitter. It switches the 3D mode to Normal or Reverse. You can also access that in the menu.

I believe you have a defective light. I love mine. It only has on and off features.

You have to step through each mode every time. Each time you turn it on and off it advances to the next mode. unlike some other flashlights I have that will revert after a while to a default mode. So if you use it as a flashlight then you have to cycle through all the modes the last being S.O.S. if you want it to be a flashlight again the next time you use it..

Mine has actually High,mid,low, strobe,SOS. The transition from high to mid and low is barely noticeable. The way I made the switch it tap and hold the switch so it switches mode. Another reason for yours might just be three modes

There are no modes to change. It just switches between different colors. I would get a few, they are not that bright.

This doesn't change beams at all, it only dims.Unless someone figured out how to change it....The default setting is normal beam, no change, just dimming.

If yours isn't doing like this video at the beginning then return it. It should look like lighting in the sky quick flashes etc...Hope it helps...really is a great light! http://youtu.be/CZXFgRxgj34

Mine has (3) modes:1) High2) Low3) StrobeOnce the flashlight is on, just "tap" the on/off button on the bottom and it will switch between each of the 3 modes.

Twist it on/off quickly. Each time will switch between the three modes. Not the most intuitive, but once you know it, you know it.

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.)

When I turn mine off at the lowest brightness setting then turn it on later it comes on at the lowest setting again. Also you don't need to turn it off and on to change the setting, all you need to do is press the switch very lightly to go thru all brightness's strobe and SOS.

hold the button down for a second or two. it should cycle through light modes.

Pretty sure it's included in the directions (I no longer have mine), but I've never actually had to switch modes. Sorry I can't be of more help.

You shouldn't, try flipping (toggle) the light switch on and off multiple times. Typically, each time you toggle the switch, it should change to a different pattern/color.
