Is the switch between the two beam intensities (15/320 lumen) cumbersome? I mean, do you have to click a bunch of times to get to the one you want?

The switch is very user friendly. From the off position, the first push gets you to the low power setting, and the second push of the tail button gives you the high intensity setting. Nothing to it!

Very easy...Off, then low beam, off, then high beam! Simple thumb pressure required on tail cap is all.

Easy to use switch. First press gives low intensity. Second press within three seconds gives you high intensity. This works using either a momentary press of the tailcap switch or if you click it to the ON position, then off and then click ON again. Hope this helps.

The short answer is no. Not a bit. In fact I like how simple it is to engage either setting. On top of this you can give the knob on the end a short twist to keep the light from coming on accidentally. For example in your pocket.

Almost few times, 3 positions: low, high and off; It's easy. A Very nice lamp.

I don't think it really reduces the brightness of the light. It just redirects the light to a wider beam.

It does not for me. The low setting is so bright I only use the bright when necessary. I also have the I also have the Streamlight ProTac HL 1213 which has 600 lumens on the highest setting which is my favorite. But like I said get the Tenergy battery kit to save lots of money on batteries this is a great little kit. I was just up in the Mountains on spotted 50 deer bedding down with this light It was crazy and then I just made a bed up against a tree and just slept up in the High mountains at the top of snowbird. I love the more powerful one that I just mentioned a little bigger and more money but worth it. That one gets a little hot but nothing you can't handle. It does not for me.

I've been using mine for about 3 months now, about 40, 5 sec. uses per night at high power. I've had no problems with the switch, and I've not noticed a decrease in brightness over that time (in reply to the question of whether it drains the batteries while off or not; I've never had it on for 5 min. at a time). I love this flashlight.

hi, i have both tn31 and tn35...BOTH great thrower flashlights for beam distance. I have used both on a 1/2 mile straight stretch of highway here in fairbanks and BOTH lit up road for easily half that distance and reflected the signs 1/2 mile away. the tn31 was 89.00 and 1700 lumens. The tn35 was 135.00 and 2700 lumens..both were great light with tn35 being a little brighter is all and better spread:) but for 89.00 the tn31 is no slouch:) As far as dropping them...I do not do that sorry. They have a 2 year warrenty now and even after that will fix it at parts/labor. the people that shoot them or throw them all over is just plain stupid for such a nice light. You can break anything if you try but WHY??? I dont do that stuff,sorry. hope this helped

Mine is doing this also. It's not an overly steady strobe - more random. The flashlight does not have a strobe setting, so the person who said that it is switching between modes is wrong. It's weird - it's not as flickery as when a normal flashlight has a bad connection.

Peter, I looked back at my orders and I bought a UTG- 2 in 1 Tactical LED Flashlight with Red Laser here at amazon and paid 66.25 and sold by.- Optics Planet,Inc... The light has 150- Lumen of light output and 500- Meter Laser... I've liked mine very much I've gotten Presure Switches on each side of the trigger one for light & other for laser. And when I hit them whatever I'm aiming at is dead. my brothers or using it out in south tx and want them mounted on some AR-15's. Mine is mounted on a GSG-22 and I take Ear shots... Hope this helps you somemore good luck in your search my friend. John B.

Lumins don't seem to mean much as far as brightness. I finally went by colortemp. Higher the temp the brighter. I just used a dimmer.

No, the beam is not adjustable, other than the intensity - 15 and 320 lumens

I don't know for certain, since I haven't used the illuminated version. But I would check the reviews of that particular model very carefully, and make sure that you can adjust the brightness all the way down. A common complaint with illuminated gear is that the brightness may be adjustable, but that even a the lowest setting it is still too bright. I can tell you that I've never been tempted by the illuminated version because I've never had a problem seeing the crosshairs on the regular version, and I've used it everywhere from city center sidewalk astronomy to radically dark skies deep in the Mojave desert. It seems to me that for bright stuff you don't need illlumination, and that for dim stuff the illumination might compete with the faint light from the target, BUT take that with a huge grain of salt since I am basically speaking from ignorance.

no the same button you turn it on with will control the beam strength . this flashlight is so bright you can reach the moon with it. its no joke .

Not that I have found. If I use it I cycle it through until the one before I want to use next (or anticipate using next) It is a nice bright light and the focus feature is cool. But you do have to cycle through all the choices each time which is a real bother.

It depends on the application, the D2s are better in terms of lumens and total light. But you can not get the D2 in spot, only driving pattern for long distance. I have 2 pairs (4 lights) of Dually (D1)spots and the distance between the spots and the D2 driving beam is very noticeable. You can also get 2 pairs of Duallys (D1) for the price of 1 pair of D2s. So you could mix beam patterns to match your use for the lights. Hope this helps!

Easy... hold one end and twist the other. Just don't look into the light end or you'll be seeing spots for a while. It really is much brighter than you expect.

thank you for the questionactually I returned it back as it didnt match my requirements using it in big room, regarding resolution and illumination (lumins units)wish to help you more :)

The flashlight is a fixed focus so you cannot adjust it as you might in some other models. That said, the center of the beam is very concentrated and that's where your target would be. The package says that the output is 130 lumens which in contrast to some of the more expensive lights seems small but in my opinion it's pretty darned bright. I've have a few led flashlights around the house, some more expensive than this one but the nebo is the brightest.Hope that helps.

Try the factory default. Very bright but very effective to my eye. Good luck. WO
