Do you get a full hour on high setting? and is there any beam adjustment mechanism? is the beam sharp focused or is it broad and dissipating?

I would say i get a half hour tops on turbo. All these lights claim an hour or so on turbo and none come close unfortunately. No adjustment mechanism for the beam, just 4 brightness levels. The beam is more focused than anything, but has a decent flood effect

Here's what the paper that came with the light says. Highest beam is 2hrs and 20 minutes . Medieum is 3hrs and 15 min. Low beam is 9hrs plus they have about 4other beams but I gave you the basic ones. I only use the high beam and I would agree to theese stats but to me it seems longer. If you really want the exact time on a special beam let me know and I'll charge it up and leave it on untill it gets dim and time it exactly. BOB

Sort of...You can adjust the size of the beam, or the intensity, which when you go larger it gets a bit dimmer, but basically it is just a one setting flashlight. Still love it though.

The light is hot, as in very hot 120+ Fahrenheit. (can cause some slides to dry out, but actually not that common) I wouldn't think it would it would ever need to be changed. I would expect in the least 1000 light hours for use. Lastly in this day and age you can either change the light socket, or the bulb itself, maybe with led. However I discovered compared to the scopes at school that being so bright can actually help in some cases. So if you're handy I would honestly change it out for an LED bulb, or just ignore it. This was the biggest flaw in this scopes design, along with the tray holder. If it wasn't for the good lenses, and the price - I would of never of bought it. But for biology - this scope is unbeatable for the price. Anything else let me know, thanks for asking by the way, I appreciate it.

It is very bright but i do not feel it compromises the focus. My only complaint is the neck itself takes quite a bit of maneuvering in order to get it in a comfortable position.

Not too bad if you aim it just a few feet in front of you. But that means you can't go too fast and the beam is pretty narrow. I found it's not much brighter than some 1 watt lights I have had. I replaced it with a Cygolite Metro 360. It's about $20 dollars more but it's a far, far, better light with a much wider and brighter beam, good for safely going about 18mph. Best light I have ever had. I would highly recommend it as a reasonably cost effective alternative. (There is also a Cygolight Metro 400 which is only a couple dollars more than the 360) I believe the top of the mount of the blaze will swivel if you loosen a screw but I'm not positive of that.

If I Remember correctly it's 180 lm on high and it does have a low mode but I don't know the lumens. It is a flood beam good for close-up work but the 180 lm does not shine very far because it's so wide of the beam

Based on these answers I have to ask again. Does it really have high beams? Please don't confuse high and low beams with intensity because it's where the light beam is aimed that's the difference. If you glance at both high and low beam directly, they're equally as bright on a halogen. High beams are for lighting further down the road. Ok then... Does it really have high beams??? I'd like to know, thank you all.

That's a manufacture's question; the unit does have a high and low setting; I found the high setting blinding.

The front on the T7 adjusts the beam pattern from a nice wide even light to a focused beam. The P7 does not do this, just a medium beam. Otherwise they look identical, I have both. Buy from a trust USA resource. Mine was bought at Amazon and the seller did not identify themselves as being in China and it took about 6 week to get the flashlight.

Hi, I set it about arms length away from me on my desk each morning and turn it so I can just see the light in my peripheral vision. Ever so often I will look right at the light but not enough to hurt my eyes. It's adjustable so you can adjust how much light you can stand to look at. I don't have mine set at full 100% because it can be blinding. I usually have it on for an hour sometimes I'll forget about it until it's been an hour and a half and just turn it off then. I use it every morning and I've been able to turn my self around from sleeping all day to sleeping at night which was my purpose for getting it. It was recommended to me by the Sleep Center of America in Denver.

No tight spot beam nor is it focus able. It has a high, low , & emergency (blink). As a person who appreciates a very good skull light this is by far my best purchase. I have one and purchased 2 more as gifts. Very bright light with longevity in vision range.

To answer your question on the 800 and for the 850, no; but on the 850, the light is diffused slightly. This makes the beam somewhat more usable.

I've only used the 660 on a rental bike; in Ireland. Thus, bright sunlight wasn't much of a concern for more than 15 minutes at a time ;-) The 590 on maximum brightness is a little brighter, but can still get washed out in direct, blaring sunlight. I still find it very usable though.

Its quite bright on the high setting. I doubt I'll even need the high setting during daylight until the batteries start to get weak. First time I shot was full sun and on high the red dot was "bleeding out", I had to turn it dimmer to get a cleaner dot for clean aiming.Oh, right. The Red Dot scope from TruGlo I put on with the NcStar 45-degree mount has the qualities listed above. :)

There's 3 different beam. high medium low. Strobe and SOS. Too me I don't think u need it any brighter. We nicknamed it the sun

I gave this one to my son but I believe it cycles thru.The ulrafire WF-501B is almost as bright not focuable has a nice broad beam and is smaller always resets to hi. It is sold by Amazon as well. Both are very good lights for the price
