O.K.......I have held off as long as I can stand. I pre-ordered the M2XC4 (cool) and received it just over two months ago. I still think it is one of the most overall unique lights out there...especially for the price, so I am not here to bash it, but to tell everyone about a peculiarity I have experienced several times since it arrived.
On occasion, after running the light for a few seconds or minutes on turbo and then returning to low, the light will enter a strange "moon mode" where the brightness (on low) is about the same as, or a little bit dimmer than the Olight M20 on low. It is so low that you can look directly into the LED's. This can happen while the light is cold or warm. It makes no difference.
Now, this is good, when I move the ring to the MID level or HI position.....nothing happens. The light remains in this very low glow mode. But, and this happens every time, when I go to Turbo everything is fine again...until I return to the Lo position. It goes from Turbo to Hi to Mid and then back to "moon" mode!! It's nuts. I know.
I am wondering if any one else has seen this phenomenon in their lights.
Most of the time the light works perfectly and I can always go from off to turbo and back down from turbo to the Hi or Mid level even when it gets "stuck" in this super low mode from time to time.
If I find out that I am the only one to experience this, then I will start buying lottery tickets again!
