So is 120 sec the max runtime then on either driver? And if so if you turn light back off and on once after the 120 sec on turbo will the light remain on for another 120 sec or will it just go up to the high mode for the brightest setting? I would prefer a light to remain on turbo for a lot longer than this. That’s the main reason probably why most people would buy this light I would think is to use the turbo mode.

After step-down one-click will return to Turbo mode.

Thanks
Ric

Now Ric, and don’t take this to be harsh. Stop and think about what you just wrote. And I do apprectiate your answer. But if all one has to do is one click to go back to turbo, then why couldn’t they have made the light to just remain on tubo indefinately until at least the batteries get low enough to where the light steps down to high mode rather than being annoyed by the one click rule after 2 minutes? That is what has kept me from buying this light. I’m just thinking out loud here. But it seems sort of silly.

I would hazard a guess and say that it’s to avoid the same problem the skyray king runs into. After leaving it on high for a while it’ll become too hold to hold. Whereas with this one you can turn it on turbo and walk away. Then when you come back you can still pick it up. Meaning people’s negligence won’t lead to their pain (or deaths).

In a blackout I tailstanded a Dry on Turbo thinking it was another light. STUPID! Went back 25 mins later and picked it up. OUCH! I had to put a towel around it so I could manoeuvre it to turn it off.

If we pay a small additional fee, will you create a U3 version?
