I just received a new Photon Proton today 8-24-06. Seems like a decent
light but I have 2 questions. Is the pocket clip removeable? How do you
get it to stay on? It comes on just fine but stays on about 2-3 seconds
and shuts off. White or red led's both seem to work and the brightness level
changes smoothly but it won't stay on. Any suggestions?:huh2:

I don't have one but I'm guessing it's in demo mode where it will shut off automatically. I believe to get it out of demo, you have to turn it on and then hold the switch until it shuts off (about 15-20 seconds) and then it will operate normally. I'm sure Proton owners will correct me if I'm wrong.

Marnav1, if you read this and seeing as how nobody else has posted, was the light being in demo mode the problem?

That does sound like the light is still in demo mode. As geepondy suggested, pressing & holding the button down for approx. 15-20 seconds (until the light turns off) should be all you need to get it working properly.

The belt clip is removable. Just hold the clip right next to where it attaches to the light and give it a good tug straight outwards, away from the body of the light. There should have been a small filler ring that came with your light that you can install in place of the belt clip to fill the gap where the clip attaches.
