Introducing VB-16's variable brightness thrower!  Many different flashlights pass through my hands, but few of them really "grab" me... this one does!  I quickly snatched one of these from inventory for myself!  Tons of throw, a fully tactical flashlight yet very easy to use.  Features two simple buttons to either increase or decrease the light's brightness.  Its max output level is super-bright, and is very focused for tons of throw.  Don't worry, there's still lots of useable spill light to light the area close by.  The low level is extremely low, especially when using a single 18650 Li-Ion battery... very handy for when your eyes are night adapted.  With an 18650, this low level will run for well over 200 hours!  Any output level between high and low is also available, just press the buttons near the head to increase or decrease the brightness.  A full sweep from low to high only takes 2 seconds.  You can set the light to any brightness level, and the selected level will be memorized.... you can flash the light on and off as many times as you want, the brightness won't change until you make it do so.  To turn the light on and off, just press the rear tail switch.  You can also half press the tail switch for momentary operation or for signaling.

Uses a single 18650 Li-Ion battery, 2 x CR123a batteries, or 2 x RCR123 batteries. 

Features hidden Strobe and SOS modes.  Strobe is accessed by pressing and holding the "Increase brightness" button for 1.5 seconds.  (Light needs to be at brightest setting first).  To turn off Strobe and go back to High mode, just press and release the button again.

SOS mode will repeatedly flash the Morse code distress signal at full brightness.  SOS is accessed in a similar manner as the Strobe mode, except you use the "Decrease brightness" button (Light needs to be in lowest brightness setting first).  Press and hold lower button for 1.5 seconds, then release once SOS starts flashing.  To turn off SOS, just press and release lower button again.
