There's a good chance that this is just user error but it doesn't help that I can't even successfully reset my light.
I have two of these lights. I am suspecting that using Li-ion cells are the cause. When I use either my Ultrafire or AW Li-ion cells, they shut off at random times shortly after turning them on. Using regular lithium Energizer cells or alkalines are fine.
When the light shuts off using Li-ion cells, I have to pull the battery and re-insert them again to get them to turn on again (only to shut off after a while).
I have no clue why it does that. Is it a voltage issue with the rechargeable cells? Did I fry the circuit with them? I tried to reset both (SW x 10 according to the factory instructions) but I can't seem to nail the clicks. Not that it would necessarily solve my problem.
I like these lights but my Nitecore seems like a much easier thing to deal with. But mebbe I'm a little slower that way (no offence to Nitecore fans). Heh.
Anyone got any idea why my LF5XT's are shutting off with Li-ion cells?
And I made sure the cells were fully charged.
