I recently acquired a LNIB EB1 Backup with the 2 stage gas pedal switch. Lovely light but I noticed two funky things and I'm wondering if they are normal or not.
1. When I press the switch I can hear a warbly buzzing/whine coming from the tailcap. I'm used to hearing some inductor whine from the heads of some lights but this is a new one for me. My other gas pedal Surefires don't do this (EDC1L-T, EDC2L-T, L1 gen 5).
2. When I press and release the tail switch 8 times quickly, the light turns off and becomes unresponsive for a few seconds. If I hold down the switch during this 'frozen' period the light won't turn on again until I release the switch and press it again. This behaviour is reproducible and consistent.
Neither of these oddities really affect my use or enjoyment of the light but I'm very curious about what's going on and if anyone else has experienced this with their EB1s or other Surefires.
Thanks in advance.
