I bought one of these (F02), and it's kind of frustrating. If you turn on the light and it gets too close to an object, it automatically dims. Then you have to reach up to set it back to full brightness. It's not as practical as the type of headlight that you set and forget.

"It's only 5 bucks. You can't go wrong with this."

Yes you can. Because this will be the worst head lamp you ever purchased.

I mean, it's called DARKBEAM for a reason. 🙂

Ya many of these flash light auto dim after 5 or 10 mins. It's bull that their settings is basic turbo mode on other. Don't advertise "highest setting 2-8 hrs", when it going dim. It's really a big issue imo since 500-700 lumens is big difference on each. So when you get a 600 and it dim to 300/400 after 5 mins.. Im talking about you Husky Tri pod lights

Why don't you turn off the motion sensor? I believe the button is next to the power button. It has a Wifi looking icon.

No, that's not the issue. While most flashlights do dim automatically in Turbo mode, the post is referring to the motion sensor option. Turning it off will stop the problem.
