In several of the software threads, some of you have asked for a strobe mode. I would like to get a consensus on some of the features. Here's what I have gathered so far:
1. select strobe mode from options menu, press and hold to activate
2. once in strobe mode, click to increase rate in 1hz steps. double click to reverse direction and then click to decrease (works like brightness setting menu)
3. while in strobe mode, press and hold to exit strobe mode. Light returns to normal operation
4. When entering strobe menu, frequency used is last selected frequency.
5. Rebooting the light erases the last selected frequency and returns to the factory default (10hz)
6. Min frequency is ~5hz, max frequency is probably about 100hz or so (limited by hardware, to be determined)
7. Power level is last used brightness (primary, secondary or tertiary)
8. Accuracy is probably about +-10% or worse
Understand that the Arc4 is designed to be a flashlight and not a strobe tool. Strobe can be added but this is not the primary design goal of the product. If you need a precise strobe for measuring RPMs, etc, you should use a tool specifically designed for that purpose.
We are considering this feature because you asked for it. Please let me know if the above spec is workable for you.
