Do you have to cycle all the light options to turn it on and off?

No. Simply clicking once turns it on and off. If you are having trouble turning it on you may be in lockout mode. It takes a quadruple click to engage and also disengage the lockout (this can be tricky). I assume lockout is to keep the flashlight from being turned on while in a pocket or bag. Once the flashlight is not locked its operation is fairly easy. Long press (1second) for the dimmest mode or simply Click once to turn on. The last used of three brightness setting will be on. Once on, click and hold down the button to cycle through brightness levels. Double click rapidly (tricky) to engage or disengage turbo mode (turbo mode should not be used for more than 10 consecutive minutes at a time due to over heating). Triple click to put flashlight into strobe mode, once in strobe mode a single click and hold will cycle to the next strobe setting. Trying to access strobe mode can sometimes get you into lockout mode since lockout mode requires only one more click and lockout mode flashes 3 times before setting in which can mislead the user into thinking they have engaged strobe mode. Then the flashlight wont come on until another quadruple click.

My lens seems to have a rattle to it when shaken, anyone else have this experience?

Just got mine today and mine does too, there's a screw that is rattling around under the lens. You might have the same issue.

I am on my second light and this one as well as the first one will not come on even after 2hr of charging. Will come on when plugged in

I had the same problem, I unscrewed the flashlight, and checked the battery and then rescrewed the flashlight back together and it worked! It seems that the flashlight it not screwed together tightly upon shipment and the customer needs to do it upon opening up there flashlight for the first time. Hopes this helps, it did for me!

What are the brightness levels ? Does it really have six modes ?

Yes it really does have six modes with the highest being turbo
