<p>I just picked up a similar headlight, the NiteRider Swift 350. (It's apparently an older model as their website lists newer, longer lasting ones.) Anyway, 3 brightness modes, plus blink.

When the lights on the helmet are flashing quickly, then the arrows work when you press the remote.</em><br/><br/><em>Is that how you understand it to work?</em></p>
