Tried that. Battery probably pretty low, don't know if that hss stopped it delivering the solid light. Trying recharge overnight.

Errm. Sorry to resurrect this but my cree has never had more than the three modes but just been out now and its developed more flashing modes than you can shake a stick at, though has totally lost the permanent 'on' features of super bright and 60% bright.
Any suggestions?

Hold the power button down for three seconds.

So what is the lastest in the lumens arm race? Still have my two cree XML T6 torches, which with new batteries I`m sure will be fine, but think now is the time to stick an order in for something else before it gets dark again

Just to report back - the little men who live in the light must have altered the settings in order to get me home safely as without realizing it I was on flashing red for the first time. Now its fully charged it back to the original modes of 'supernova retina melting power' + 'half power' + 'one simple flashing pattern'.

I bought a similar one 3 x T6 before winter for less than 30 quid...

You can get 5 or more T6 LEDs in one unit, but can't see batteries lasting long.

Got a couple of Trustfire U2 torches. Bloody great for camping, could whack these on the skid lid

My son used one on camp and for the small size, it blew away every other scouts torch. They were all asking about them. I can see the tents going up in flames with dodgy chargers.

I've already added another 500lm to last years arsenal

Hold down the power button - mine switches between two modes when I do that....
