I'm a light newbie and I can't tell you how disapointed I am with this light. I just got it a couple of days ago (serial # 10062) and sadly I think it will be returned this week.
The problem is that it turns on and off at random. I also found that if I squeeze the body at the flat sides, I can get it to cycle through every mode, including strobe. I'm not 100% sure, but it even seems that body heat will trigger it as well. Sometimes it will engage for a few seconds other times its for much longer.
I've changed batteries and performed the battery-detect-reset. What's happening now is not listed in the manual.
Has anyone else had this problem? Are most $150 lights this touchy? I really like this light (when it works). However, I can't hope that it will work when I need it to, nor do I want it to throw a beam when I least need it to. Maybe I need to stick with Surefire. This sucks.

My 120T (10608) went crazy for the first month or so, yet it managed to "fix itself out?" on its own:shrug: I hope that you will have faith and get a replacement NovaTac, they are truly great EDC torches IMO. Or look into the upcoming HDS Twisty.
