It has two 'on' modes apparently....bright & brighter and it alternates between the two. Just wondering if there's something simple I should look at in the switch or in the drop-in or if it's just gonna be this way. Worse things could happen than having a steady very bright read beam for a tail light...I've got plenty of lights that blink, so I was thinking that a steady light may be better anyway. Just comparing notes here & thanks for the info. Whatever the case, I'm not gonna bother with postage & the hassle for something so cheap to buy in the first place (and that functions anyway).
