Have to disagree there. For some reason,
manufacturers like multi-mode tac lights, but 99.9% of LEOs out there don't use or want them (including "strobe" modes). That goes for both handheld and WMLs. The vast majority prefer/use single-mode lights with momentary switches. There are several reasons for this. The only "mode" that is preferable/useful is the ability to switch from momentary to constant-on. Typically, this is done with a single clicky switch (or a paddle in the case of a pistol WML) that gives you momentary with a half-press and constant-on with a full press.
