Description on Amazon says it has "mode memory", but every inexpensive tailcap clicky light I've used changes modes when you turn it on...
If I set it for max brightness, will it skip to strobe mode the next time I turn it on?

Drives me crazy.

Looks like a decent inexpensive light if the clicky behaves itself.

The tail piece switch has two modes The hard click function functions through the brightness modes off and on, but once it's turned on with the hard click you can lightly touch the cap to toggle thru the brightness modes. Once you get to the brightness level you want for memory use the hard click to turn it off and on. It should remain at the same brightness mode. Mine does any way. You can probably use the bezel to get to the level you want as well then turn it off.

Thanks for the info! I suppose this should convince me to read the instructions from here on out. I had no idea.

It is amazing how many folks order food delivered at night and leave the porch lights out. I have been using a full size flashlight I keep in the side console of my pickup truck door. I don't like that it takes up my left hand leaving me carrying food with my draw hand. I can literally stick that thing in my mouth and keep my draw hand open for the BG who decides to try and rob me.

I have the perfect solution to simultaneously use a high lumen flashlight, hands free, so that you may use both of your hands to handle the food delivery, and ringing the customer's bell.

This flashlight holster has a strong belt clip and will accept many sizes of small flashlights. The holster has a 360 degree swivel, enabling you to point the flashlight straight ahead, partially down, or completely looking down at your feet. Very flexible.

I bought mine many years ago at Academy Lewisville. Today I looked for it at Academy Denton, but they didn't have any in stock.

Just order it from their company website, or Amazon. This little holster is a life hack that is great for ony $10.99 or so. I dig it. I believe you will too.

Save your super size flashlight for reading house numbers from your driver's seat. Use a smaller flashlight for the walk from your truck to the customer's front door. I've been there, done that.

Happy Trails.

My experience with tailcap clicky lights has been that I can scroll through the settings using the soft click and when I turn the light off (hard click) and back on (hard click again) the mode advances by at least 1 mode... Sounds like you're saying that is NOT happening with this light?? That would be nice!
