How to Set Memory Mode on LED Flashlights

A programmable flashlight allows you to choose different light settings.

A memory mode flashlight allows the user to adjust the amount of light it produces. Changing the light makes the flashlight more versatile in different situations. The problem is, to keep the design simple, most memory mode flashlight manufacturers have not added any extra switches or interfaces for programming the different light levels. This may leave you scratching your head, but setting the memory mode is easier than you might think.

Things You'll Need

• A flashlight with memory mode capability
• The flashlight's instruction manual

Instructions

1. Refer to your flashlight user manual to find the exact sequence required to enter memory mode.

2. Press the on/off button rapidly to enter programming mode. For some lights, you only need to fully depress the button twice or three times. For others, it means pressing the button in half-way five or six times.

3. Push the switch fully or half-way, depending on your flashlight, to adjust brightness.

4. Turn the light off for 30-40 seconds after choosing the brightness you want. This will save your settings.
