It's supposed to step down all the way until it's turned off? I'm not going to be home so I can't check but it doesn't seem like 40 seconds...
No, only stepdown from turbo to high after 40 seconds.

It shuts all the way off, even if I only turn it on the lowest setting it still steps down until it's off...
That sounds like the over discharge protection triggers for some reason. Are you sure that the cell is charged and OK?
If you're sure the battery and the charger are OK, you might want to exchange the light. That's not normal behaviour. That said, I'm not too happy with this light, even though mine is functioning as it should. In a default configuration (with no 18650 extension) it heats up way too much on high mode, and drains pretty quickly. Turbo mode I don't even bother with anymore for more than a second or two, as the battery drain is incredible, and the heat it generates is legitimately skin damaging level. On top of that, mine at least has a slightly greenish tinge with Nichias compared to my Eagtac D25AAA, which has perfect neutral tint. I should really just accept that this is a 18650 light, and not exactly a small light I was hoping it would be.I put an 18650 tube on, got the Sony VTC6s charged them up, and my light is still stepping down exactly the same as it was before... any thoughts? I've had this thing for 2 weeks and haven't been able to use it.
Kind of what I was thinking, like maybe I got a bad battery or something. I forgot my charger at work though so it's gonna have to wait until tomorrow.

I bought mine in bits with the 18650 tube, Its great so far , Still pretty confused about the interface tho
