I'm not sure if this is the same problem KDOG3 experienced with his U2. At the behest of a member here, I did the following experiment with my U2:
1) Set digital egg timer to countdown from 10 minutes.
2) Set U2 to highest level.
3) U2 starts to flicker and then turn off on its own within those 10 minutes. A little past 5 minutes on the average.
4) After the U2 flickers and shuts down, I use the tailcap switch to turn it off and back on. Light comes back on to highest level.
Is it possible that these new U2s have some sort of thermal regulation? This U2 would only get warm to the touch. I remember an earlier U2 I had could stay on until the batteries were completely drained and the body was hot to the touch. Any ideas?
