I have 3 Lumapower MRV SK Hunters. One is 6 years old and the others are about 3. The oldest one works great but the 2 newer ones are having the same problem. When you turn them on they only turn on for about 1 second and then turn off. I keep turning them on and off and they only turn on every few times and immediately turn off again. They are all using one 18650 battery. I bought them from Batteryjunction.



What's going on?

Put the battery from the 6 year old light into one of the
newer lights and see if it still turns off in one second.
Maybe the batt's are not as charged as you think.
They may be ready to be re-cycled.
Test them on a digital volt meter and report your findings.

Thanks. I tried that didn't work.




Noticed that the light works in strobe though. And one of the functions is like slow strobe (although thats not supposed to be a function).
