Last night I left my Arc4+ (2nd) sitting on my dresser, and at 3 AM I awoke and noticed it
flashing as if in 'find me' mode, only much dimmer than even level 16. I removed the battery
thinking I had managed to put it in some odd mode while testing all the various functions, but in
the morning when I re-inserted the battery, the same thing occurred.
I put it in my pocket, and checked it again when I got to work and the flashing had stopped.
I stuck it on my dresser again this afternoon before going to the gym, and when I returned
from the gym, there was my Arc4+ flashing ever so dimly on my dresser. As soon as I pick
it up and cupped my hand around the barrel to get a closer look the muted flashing began
to fade - and then stopped.
I immediately suspected temperature as the culprit, so I stuck the flashlight in the freezer for
a couple of minutes, and sure enough, the phantom 'find me' flash was back! So far it seems
to be a highly reproducible effect.
Has anyone else noticed this?
