How do you change modes from high beam to low beam and strobe? Is this like the old Stingers where I can go quick on and off for tactical situations or do you have to cycle through the modes every time you want to turn it on and off?

You click once for the standard beam. Then just one click to turn it off. Two quick clicks turns on the strobe light.

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

The focus is a twist function so it stays the same unless it is moved while off. The light switch is multifunction in the number of times you click the switch will give you different brightness, strobe or SOS. Once it is turned off for a while, then it defaults back to the brightest mode or whichever mode you click for when you turn it on. Sounds complicated but it isn't, just play around with it for a few minutes and you'll get it all figured out and will enjoy it's versatility.

Yes sir. Also, the brightness of the red dot is adjustable. Just keep pressing the button that turns the reticle on/off to cycle through levels of brightness.

The light will turn on/off/strobe with a push button activation on the side. If you leave it at on or strobe and put it in the holster it cuts off until you pull it from the holster and then it activates to the mode you had it on.

The combo beam are built in with both Spot and Flood and you can't switch them. Spot have farther and more distant in brightness. thanks.

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.

Hello, Yes, it is very easy to operate. One button for everything. You hold down the button to turn the unit on then tap again to toggle the modes. While on, hold the button down for 3 seconds then the strobe will activate.

My 12 million only does on and off. The smaller 11 million I bought first that says police on the side does high low and strobe. I like the smaller one better.

No, it turns off between mode and mode. Eg.High beam, onTurn off, turn on: medium beam on,Turn off, turn on: low beam on. It goes like that for the next flash and SOS mode.

Yes, it has three modes:hi- low power and strobe. You just click to turn it on, and tap to change modes.

I guess it depends on what you mean by "adjustable beam". The beam has two brightness levels but the focus cannot be adjusted (i.e., it does not adjust from spot to flood). The strobe feature has to be intentionally selected, otherwise it's just a high or low brightness. Instructions are included for permanently deactivating the strobe feature so that you don't accidentally turn it on. You can reactivate the strobe feature if you ever decide you want to use it.

Yes. The side switch controls all the modes. It's like a camera switch, you press it down softly to change from each position. The flashlight memorizes the last mode that you were in. It's very user friendly, but more important if you're looking for a very bright led flashlight. This is the one.

It's still possible to use the light as a standard light without activating the strobe mode but you got to know the beam is not adjustable and the first aim of that kind of light is mainly to be mounted on weapons.

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

No unfortunately. I bought it from blue lover and I received a clone. The only real thing was the circuit boards but the components are fake. It only has high and off. I could give you a link to a real 3 mode for you if you want. Just 20c more.It's herehttp://www.amazon.com/Zoomable-Adjustable-Focus-Flashlight-Torch/dp/B007FC5A5Q/ref=pd_ys_sf_s_228013_a1_3_p?ie=UTF8&refRID;=0BXAF7S0W9KXXCGEWH0QIt has high, low and flashing/strobe and off

Unless setting up scenes, the 4-play works best in sound activated mode. It will not work as a stand alone color strobe unless it's on dmx.
