So I pulled it out of the safe- after a looong hibernation and I think I'm brain fading

I cant get the light to stay on-
it'll momentary click on for about a sec then off-

I dont remember if there was a click sequence or something I forgot?

( damn light newbie)

Is the tailcap and head screwed on all the way?
Fresh battery?

 

[Farmer_Rob]

yes yes

Unscrew the head from the battery tube, loosen the bezel a turn, flip over, take your fingernails and unscrew the can ( the part that the positive end of the battery touches) half a turn, reassemble, test, repeat unscrewing the can till it lights up and tighten the bezel back down.
If your fingernails can't get enough bite to unscrew it, you need to take the bezel off, the lens, the o-ring, the reflector, then insert long needle nose pliers into the two holes of the can and tighten it to screw it out the bottom to get it to contact the battery tube.

Is it a two-stage momentary switch that requires twisting the tailcap for constant-on operation?

 

[McGizmo]

I don't recognize that tail cap but most significant is what do you have inside this light? What kind of switch and what kind of light engine?

I love those "turn it off, hit it, turn in back on" answers.
