This freezes the motion of the tool in mid-air. The flash mode has a strobe with a very fast 5ms (1/200s) on time, and frequency range of 66Hz to 9Hz. The strobe mode has a “perfect” 50% on/off time for light painting, and wide range of frequencies from 50Hz to 4.5Hz. Just be aware that if single flash mode was last saved, then there will be no light when you turn the light back on next – double click to advance to the next mode (this caught me out the first time!) To exit side switch access mode, just turn off the tail switch. If you save single flash mode, turn off the light, then enter either of the side access modes, then the light will emit 5ms burst of light with each press of the side switch.

This will allow the side switch to be used as a momentary switch for the last saved mode (light only emitted whilst the switch is depressed). If the side switch is held down for longer when the tail switch is turned on it will enter “momentary mode” (confirmed by three flashes). This will allow on/off control of the last saved mode using the side switch.

If the side switch is held down when the tail switch is turned on it will enter “trigger mode” (confirmed by two flashes). If using side access modes it is advised to use the dedicated adapter from Light Painting Paradise specifically designed for the LightPainter. There are also two side switch access modes.
