On NiMH/Alkaline batteries, the light performs fine, as advertised. Active dimming works flawlessly.
However, when running on a freshly charged AW 14500 cell, the ADT mode becomes inconsistent:
1) Activate the light in ADT mode. It works as advertised.
2) Point it at the horizon and let it ramp up to Max, and leave it there for 30 seconds.
3) ADT now no longer works; when pointing the light straight down it never ramps back down to Low.
My theory is either I've got a faulty one, or that it's a design flaw: the light gets so hot when running on a 14500, the accelerometer chip fails to work. Or perhaps the extra voltage of the LiON cell confuses the light somehow.
Can anybody else give this a try and see what happens?
