Well should the need ever arise it would be nice to have the capability! LOL.
But in some seriousness if you happened to be lost on a mountain somewhere and need to signal for help or your location the beam and throw on the GT should get the searchers attention quite easily…… one heck of a Beacon beam!
Sorry, at the moment there is no SOS in NarsilM:
Strobe, police strobe (two frequencies), bike strobe (continues light with a stutter), 2sec beacon and 10sec beacon
Not trying to rain on the parade but I want people to realize that a video can look a lot different than what your eyes actually see, it is all in the settings. Have watched hundreds of videos of lights I actually own and almost none of them look as bright to my eyes as they do in the video. You can mark this post #8050 and refer back to it once people start complaining that their light is not as bright as the one in VOB’s video. It is still going to be an awesome light.
well, it depends on many things, camera setting, humidity, etc, for example, i have manker u21, in urban area, i cant see the ray, but when i move to more rural area, dang, it was awesome
Ιs it easy to get the police strobe please?Because,when I go out at night,I already have in my hand a strobe ready light.Something with two switches,so when I press the tail switch it goes directly to strobe.
The police, or tactical, strobe is the 2nd blinky. It’s a bit tricky engaging strobes.
If your in ramping mode, you have to dbl click, pause, dbl click, pause then single fast click. If you practice a bit it’s easy. I would not recommend it for self defense because it’s so tricky. A dedicated light with strobe is a better choice.
If your in mode sets and the light is off, you can just press and hold for 1.5 seconds. The light will go to turbo then to the first strobe. As soon as the strobe comes on you can release the button and do one click and it will move to the 2nd strobe.
If your in mode sets and the light is on, then it’s pretty easy. Just press and hold about 1 second and the light will drop a level, then strobe comes on. Do a fast click to cycle up to the 2nd strobe. This is actually pretty easy and even works when your on the lowest brightness level. One more click will take you back to the brightness level you were on.
Keep in mind this above is all using the Q8 version of NarsilM v1.0. When the GT comes out it will use NarsilM v1.2. I think strobe/blinky mode access should be the same, but with a few changes to make it easier to cycle through all 5 blinky modes.
The bottom line is the GT is really a self defense designed light. It’s more for search and rescue or just having fun. A simple blast of turbo to a person’s face at close range should be just as effective as a strobe plus is easier to get to.
