ok heres my question, when i turn on my td's on steady there are very bright, but when i switch to flash, they are dim, they dont get to full brightness, is there somrthin wrong, or are they just like that also they are on a fast single flash, is there any way to change to flash pattern.

Maybe the problem is that the flashes are just too quick for the filaments to fully heat up and give full brightness?

I've seen several patriots and had a couple myself and they all had this problem. I think it's normal.

I have the same problem on mine. I tried to slow down the flash pattern but I wasn't able to. That was the only fix I could think of.
