Smith & Wesson Luxeon Rebel 5 Watt Tactical Flashlight dim with fresh NiMH batteries

This problem started just a week ago. It looks like it's at a low power setting when freshly charged batteries are inserted. The same battereies in a different light run it at full power. Alkaline batteries have it running at full power.

Could this flashlight have set itself to run at low power somehow?

Welcome to CPF. Assuming you've already cleaned every contact point, I've got to suspect the light may be kaput. Good opportunity for something new.
