I received a few weeks ago, two of the $50.00 special seconds and have been carrying one of them (First Run #1577) since, probably turning it on for 10-60 seconds at a time, a few times each day, basically playing with it. Just a couple of days ago, I noticed that as I screwed the tailcap in, the light would turn on as it should, but then as it was screwed almost all the way in, it would turn off.
Today, it turned on, only it was very dim. As I screwed the tailcap in all the way (which a few days prior would turn the unit off), it still was dim, but did not turn off. I am assuming it is running in the moon mode (although I really don't know as I haven't run a battery down in either of the two units I received, just got them).
When I switch batteries between the two units, the problem remains in the problem unit. I am using Sanyo batteries. I took a Surefire battery out of my E1e and put in in the problem LS, and it wouldn't turn on at all. I tried putting some aluminum foil behind the Sanyo battery in the LS and there was no change.
I had read about NASCAR's problems. Is this related? It certainly is unrelated in the fact that I didn't return mine in the seven day period for the refund on the seconds. This wouldn't be such a big issue, but unfortunately, my wife has been observing all of this. Any suggestions from the forum or Peter? I really want this light to work, as I think it's a great design, It's the perfect EDC for me!
I'll appreciate any advice that can be offered. BTW, I got to CPF from Bladeforums, and have learned more about lights in the last month than I could have imagined. I've ordered and received an E1e, E2e, 2 Arc LS's, 2 Arc AAA 3.1's, Arc AAA LE, and an Opalec Newbeam. Thanks for the advice!
