My light seems to have only three functions. Full on, low and strobe. No instructions came. Am I doing something wrong?

Mine also has only three modes. From what I gather from other responses, there are several variations with the lights. Also mine came with no instructions. For the money it has been a great light.

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

seems to me that if you turn the end it goes from small to large beam also.. I bought this as a gift for my husband and have only used it once or twice .. but it goes from pin point beam to wide beam.. I am not sure how to do it have you looked for the instructions on the internet??

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.)

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

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

Yea this lights a bit different than most. Tap the button once to turn it on, once on HOLD the button down and the light automatically cycles through three brightness levels, low, med and high. Now here's where it gets tricky: when the light is OFF if you hold the button down it activates "moonlight mode" which is ultra low for late night illumination. Once moonlight mode is on, holding down the button for a sec will continue to cycle through the other modes. Phew! Ok, one more, a quick DOUBLE TAP of the button when OFF activates a fast strobe used for defensive purposes (it's supposed to disorient an attacker). Hope this help! :-) Yea this lights a bit different than most.

Tried to use it in low lighting outside recently and could not figure out how to get light (helps to read the manual ahead of time!). Later figured out that there is a low lux setting, which I have learned how to use...simple change in settings....but haven't tried it out yet.

Streamlight makes a number of different lights, but on the one I own there is a round, black, button on the top of the unit that cycles through three brightness levels and off. Just push the button repeatedly to get the function you want.

Neither - no strobe function that I can find. Strobe isn't indicated in the product description either. EDIT - Sorry - The strobe is very fast. I didn't receive an instruction sheet with mine and I just stumbled on how to select the low intensity and the strobe functions the other night.

Don - My bad. Ignore 1st answer I gave. I had it confused with another model. The 3 settings are kind of tricky on this light. You twist it to make it come on. That gives you one brightness level. Next, twist it off and twist it back on again. The 2nd time it comes on it will be at a different level. Repeat those steps a 3rd time and you get the 3rd brightness level setting. I think it also remembers the last setting you used before turning it off so next time you use your light it will be preprogrammed to that level. What I do if I am looking for a particular level is to turn it on and off (twist it on and off) rapidly until it achieves the level I want. Hope that helps. Don - My bad. Ignore 1st answer I gave.

The lights do not come with instructions but there is only 3 wires to connect. Also, you need to reuse the spring clips from the old reflectors.

I lost my manual also and was wanting to know if anyone that purchased it can supply information on the different modes for the light. I had mine set on 16 which was when you pushed the button the light came on. Other than that I am in the dark!

Take the top off. On the bottom of the top tere is a little plastic strip that needs to pulled out. This makes the light work. I don't think the instructions really tell you that. The lights are off during the day and as soon as it starts getting dark...they will work. If I can be of any further assistance let me know. Gook Luck. CA

No, I do not know how to use as a strobe I only use as light. Could you please show me how to use as a strobe?

That's what I wondered too, if it needed to "warm up" first, or be in an extra-dark room. You may have a faulty one too like me. I had to tap on it near the bottom & turn it upside down & hold it it at an angle to get it to light up-not what you should do to make it work! Email Amazon & they'll fwd it to Scientifics & they should email you back w/phone #. I called them today & they said Fedex would pick it up next day & send me another one. So hope next one works! Good luck with yours! :)

You should have received instructions in the packaging to show you how to select sequence and on and off position. Mine has been activated from day one for the tri color mode. Mine is inside a Chinese concrete lantern, not easily accessible to me. Experiment with it if you didn't receive instructions, you will figure it out.

There were absolutely no directions at all with the lights. Sorry! My electrician did not tell me the 20A or 30A.
