Some of the Jetbeam lights such as jet series, m3, cycler have alot of strobe adjustment as well as other modes

Thrunite TN11. It isn't an extremely wide frequency range but it is definitely user adjustable.

To add to Lj-_- 's response, JetBeam has a YouTube video where you hear an explanation and actually see the strobe frequency selection - from 1 - ~15 Hz. jet-beam is their home page (note the dash). Then under "Products" on the left, select "3M XML". You won't be able to miss the large video at the top of the page.

LiteFlux LF5XT has a wide variety of Strobe settings.


Good Luck * finding * one, however.

See this thread:

and my reply:
You can find the strobe frequencies on many of the manufacturers websites.

Some have now gone to a multiple frequency variable strobe (Fenix/Jetbeam) which I like.

Selfbuilt has done a review on a light that is not overly expensive, that has a programmable strobe where you can set the frequency here:

Manufacturer of that is "Nextorch"

They ArmyTek Predator also has an adjustable strobe, reviewed again by Selfbuilt, here:

I have always wanted a variable (or just slow) strobe. The Nextorch looks like a winner.

Over here in Australia the cyclists tend to use flashing white fauxtions on the front of the bike, which is particularly handy at dusk or in places with plenty of street lighting. The strobe is not used to see in the dark, just better at alerting cars, getting noticed more than a static light (when there are lots of other static lights around from street lights, shops, etc...)

However when you venture away from these areas or it gets darker it would be handy to change over to a full-on light to see better. So one light to do both jobs.

Many of the current lights with strobe, the strobe is too fast and a waste. They also tend to only strobe in high - which is too bright on high powered flashlights.

So a flashlight which I can set to a slower strobe on medium but have the ability to run high with no strobe when needed, would be very handy, for cycling. On many dedicated high power bike lights, some have strobe but its too fast and too bright.

There seems to be a lack of programmable (strobe) lights in the small-medium tactical size - bike size.
