Tell us more. Does it blink at all levels? Only when freshly charged? etc.

My logan 17500 did that too when the battery got low on an AW cell. It went into a strobe mode about 10 HZ (although I know it does not have one). I figured it had something to do with the protection circuit on the cell.

I use Tenergy RCR123s and so far so good

[fyrstormer]

Never had a problem with AW brand RCR123s. Just because they're made in China doesn't mean they're crap, it just means you have to buy a brand name that only accepts top-quality cells from the factories that make RCRs for all the battery companies.

Ya these are ultrafire 880 mil with circuit protection brand new do not know wuy it's doing it, thanks for the input

A couple notes: I found using the 17500 delivers 3.7v so it's a lot brighter than the 3.0v Tenergy rcr123. On the other hand when I use the Tenergy 3.0v rcr123 I get very short runtime; but I can adjust the output to the lowest of lows.

It could be my 17500 battery is a bit tall, I'm not sure. I don't have any AWs but I'm planning on maybe buying a few.

FWIW, I am running my SS Logan on an Ultrafire protected 17500 and have no problem with the low light levels.
