The slow blink mode is almost Morse Code for SOS (... _ _ _ ... ) except they have 4 dashes. Would not be a bad idea to design lights with that as a feature.

You're right... they screwed up.
It is supposed to be SOS mode.
Are the 4 dashes a letter? We're gonna be sending the wrong message out there.

I love that light. On the third click it's brighter than both of my old NR.
Mitch... you might want to save yourself battery. When climbing fire road or even single track set it on the third click.

I dunno, they were a bit offensive to me. Cheesy

j/k

BTW Martino, which did you use last night, the "boy" or "the daddy"?

I agree with Paul's comments.

I have the helmet mount, and the cockring mount holds the light on very securely. Comes with daddy cockring for your 34.5mm bars, and boy cockring for your 24.5mm bars.

Dale mentioned last night that he got the light Jake has and does not like it much because the beam is narrow.

I didn't realize it at the time, but my battery was almost dead.

Are there 4 dashes a letter? We're gonna be sending the wrong message out there.

The only morse code letter I remember from my boy scouts days are 3 dits, 4 dits, 2 dits, dah (1 dash) which spells s,h,i,t.

I almost made a comment about Chinese products but thought the similarity must have been a coincidence. 5 dashes are 0 zero, 4 are nothing as noted.

I did think of using the lower power going up but wanted to run the battery down.

Plus I got the helmet mount for $9.95. What a deal!
