I noticed this the other day using my LOP SE. It took me a few minutes to figure out where the noise was coming from. When in low or med settings, I can hear a faint buzzing noise coming from the lop. You literally have to stick it right up to you ear to hear it. I have read this light uses "strobing circuitry" to dim the light and if you listen you can hear it. Am I just hearing things or can others hear this noise when in the lower modes on the LOP SE??

Yep, mine "clicks" to the pwm rate when in low or med. At that rate it sounds like a buzz. I was reading one night, laying on my side and propping up my head with my hand while holding the L0P SE and noticed it.

Hey there NS Secret order of the NutSAK's huh? I like it! :)

I can hear it at night when it is quite but other than that I have to listen real hard for it.
