Used 2-3 minutes, took Sanyos out put in surefires worked a couple of times then next time wouldn't turn on?? Lamp is good, when I screw the end cap on 1/2 way in it will work but tightining more will turn the lamp off. a scratch on the end of the battery looks like spring may be bending. I pushed that in all the way & checked for continunity - ok. Whats up ??

As silly as it sounds, try changing the batteries!

Traded it in on a Coleman pocket lantern "Micro Florescent" very nice... Thanks for the input!

Since you got rid of it you probly are not interested in this, but for anyone else, check your bulb connections. I had the same problem. Take care not to get any dirt or skin oil on the bulb, pull it out of the socket and push it back in.
I was think the same as you, bad switch, bad contact for batteries, something like that I was screwing around with the batteries with no succsess, except for as you mentioned an ocasional flicker as you tightened the tail cap. It was almost on its way back and I said to myself "self lets check the bulb". Low and behold that was it. It has worked fine every since.If it does still not work and you bought it at wally-world take it back for a new one. Wal-Mart is very good about things like this.

I had the exact same issue.
Took the light home, wouldn't work. I took the bulb out, put it back, wiggled it a bit and it has worked fine ever since.
Thank goodness I had read this post already!
Now it is working fine and no more problems.
Thanks!

Sorry guys, are you saying that you adjusted the pins in some way ? How did you do it, exactly ?

I think it may be the sockets on the flash light. I just pulled the bulb out poked at the sockets a little maybe and plugged it back in. I did not see anything wrong, I am guessing maybe a little tarnish?

Yup, I pulled the bulb out also - rotated it etc. My tailcap had spring issues... No prob - my camo C2 with pop up red filter from surefire is better anyway
