Ultrafire wf-501b help.

[stephenmadpotato]

Hi,
I own a wf-501b. It works for a good 2 minutes, then begins to flicker till it shuts off completely. I tried two different sets of batteries, and they both do the same thing. I have to pull the batteries out and mess with them to get it to work again. I'm completely baffled, any LED experts out there that can help? Thanks,
Stephen

Edit: Also, I am using 3.6v ultrafire protected rcr123a's with a soshine charger. All are from DX

IIRC, that light uses a P60 Type module and some have been known to short out due to the reflector being too close. Try unscrewing the reflector a bit and see if that helps.

If not, then refund or replacement.
