my defender infinity golden dragon + came in today. this is my first light with an osram led. i am pretty disappointed. on the max setting it might just match the medium setting on my q5 l2d. and the whine is horrid. i thought the l2d was bad. this thing screams like a whore.
is this an anomaly...
Update: Got a lot worse today. I couldn't power it up on high at all without having it shut itself down. Switched between batteries, etc. Finally decided to clean the threads and reapply lube. Haven't had the problem again yet. We'll see tomorrow, though as it will get a workout while I'm at...
My e2dl arrived from batteryjunction with a series of scratches inside the bezel that expose bare aluminum and cause a large artifact in the beam. I emailed surefire about the problem last Friday and waited until Monday to send my second email. That was three days ago today and I still haven't...
If i turn it on regularly then it only shuts itself off sporadically. Mine works fine while holing the button down also; what I'm saying is that after holding the button down and releasing (the light should stay on) it turns off. While holding the button down I get the flicker.
I haven't tried...

Seems to be. It only does this on high so I'm thinking maybe it's a circuitry problem. If it was anything else I'd imagine that it would happen on the other setting too.
I seem to have pin pointed the problem; or, at least, am now able to make it happen pretty much on demand and not sporadically. If I turn the light from off to on while on the high setting and keep the switch pressed before letting it out, it will flicker and then shut off almost every time...
If i am experiencing the same problem then it seems that i have the worst luck when it come to flashlights. I've had to send my l2ds back and forth several times for different reasons; My surefire, which is a company known for its level of quality, came with scratches inside the bezel which put...
