Flashaholic
*Thread update*
I just traded for this SC50w on the basis of it's being an SC51w and with the help of the detective flashaholics below,
eventually determined that I did not receive what I was supposed to have.
How much does it really matter? Well, I don't always run 14500 and as such have to choose between having strobe
as my optional high setting if I run anything other than 14500's in it.
There's been much said over the years about peoples feelings regarding text on the outside of a light, and I think
this is one of the best arguments for having model names or numbers on all lights so that there can be no mistaking
what light you've just bought from the MarketPlace, or as in my case, taken on trade.
I stated my interest in an SC51w or possibly SC51c, but instead received this SC50w, a great light in it's own right,
but not what I was after.

I just can not get anything other than high and strobe out of the high setting on my SC51w.
Two low settings, okay.
Two medium settings, okay.
Then comes the high setting which can be toggled with strobe.
No matter how much I've searched the internet I've found nothing other than that I need to do 6 double clicks (isn't that 12 clicks?), after that successive double clicks will allow me to walk through four options, but it never happens.
I even found a flowchart, which was no help for me and not nearly as clear as the Clicky flowchart we've been using for a while now.
After having traded for this light on the information that it had two different brightnesses on high, and no strobe, here it is with one brightness and, lo and behold, our beloved strobe (who is best kept in a closet).
I've been clicking away at this thing for hours and keep ending up in some very strange places, including momentary low for the high setting, which when clicked on simply light dimly then goes out. The only way out of that is trying once again to re-program. Then there was the time that the same very low mode was the only one on the light at all. Off or low.
Help. I mean :help:. Really.
