Yes, and the one drawback of the Fenix IMO is that it really does not have a good blinky mode. The SOS has big gaps in the flashing and the strobe mode would work good in a Disco or for Halloween but is way too fast for bike use.

Yes, the SOS flash apparently is set at the same frequency as morse code for emergencies. I agree sit stonecrd that the flash mode is the only serious drawback with the Fenix lights. There should be a better flash signal in the non-turbo mode. However, if I'm ever lost on a desert island, I hope that I have my Fenix light with me.

I use the strobe mode on my bike. Fenix P1D-CE (Q5 edition). 180 lumens in Strobe mode. It gets peoples attention pretty well. The tip is covered with the finger of a latex glove, so it's very visible from all directions without strobing right in anyone's eyes.

That looks like a FENIX wearing a condom.
