My L4 arrived on Thursday and was used well into the evening with no problems. (It came just in time for a family emergency.) However, by Friday night I noticed a jingling "loose part" sound coming from the tailcap when I clicked it ON. Shaking it gently confirmed that it was indeed jingling. It was not there the day before and disappears when clicked OFF. The light has not been dropped either.
I removed the tailcap to be sure the sound was from there and not the batteries.
I did a few searches and found the discussions concerning actual failure of the Z57 tailcap – flickering, unable to click off - but nothing about jingling switches and no change in light output. The light works fine.
Do I have a loose switch? Should I bother calling Surefire on Monday?
I was already set on buying a second switch and the McE2S assembly before the light got here, so if this one is about to fail I'll use it as the host. No big deal. This is my first Surefire, so I'm just curious about whether or not this is normal.
The L4 has met and exceeded all of my expectations. I love every bit of it, despite the questionable tailcap.
Thanks,
Justin
