Just got my Olight S2. Not a bad light, I can't wait until it's dark out to really test the little thing. It's also a bit glitchy. Everything works just fine unless it ends up in what I'm going to call flicker mode. It doesn't happen often but when it does the light kinda flickers and it won't change settings without shutting it off first. Not a deal breaker, just annoying.
It should not do that. My S2 Baton does no such thing. What battery are you using? Polarity insertion is correct? Contact areas clean? battery charged? What is happening right before flicker mode occurs?

The battery is an Orbtronic 3100mah protected 18650. Fully charged. Inserted correctly which looks backwards. It looks clean.

It happens while I'm changing modes. Then in one of the middle modes it will blink off momentarily before coming back at the same brightness before blinking. And will be kinda flickering. It's only done it 3 times since I got to work today.

I have a brand new Olight branded battery on the charger at home waiting for me. Bought it with the light. Planning to test it later.

Ive got a 15 quid, red convoy s2 on the way 8*7135 with the neutral white. Also got an £8 xtar 2 battery charger and also paid £9 for 2 x samsang 25r 18650 batteries.

Other than my lenser this will be my first dabble in the flashlight world, next month on pay day, itll either be an olight s2 or just read the review on the Nitecore mh20gt.

Congrats, great flashlight and a nice NW flavour too. From your purchases i can see you have done your homework, the good old 25R's are still a well used/liked cell of mine. I see a soon to be fav light, simple UI and a nice useful beam OTF.
