DX 5W Luxeon Lumiled 3-AAA MXDL Flashlight

Sorry if this is not in the right place because I really don't know what type of flashlight this is. Here is the flashlight. My problem is not that it isn't bright but it flickers to dimmer colors. The batteries are fresh so I'm thinking the problem is the internals of the flashlight. Does anyone have this flashlight or a solution for how I can fix it? Thanks.

You'd have better luck posting this in the LED section. My wild guess would be a damaged circuitry, as was the case with my LED light (Fenix L2D-CE).

My wild guess is that there might not be a good electrical connection between the board and the inside body of the light. Most lights will use the un-annodized inner surface of the body as a return path for the current. Usually the circuit board with the LED is just resting against or pushed against the body to form an electrical connection. One one of my lights I had to shove a little aluminum foil between the body and board to make a better connection. Also on another light there was some anodizing left on the threads that interfered with the connection.
