Hi, I just jump into fancy flashlight world.
I bought the E2DL because it is praise by many. I am a little disappointed because the tint is more yellowish and it is not as white as my maglite LED or my friends Fenix P1D q5. But one thing i'm sure is that it is bright! (Looks slightly brighter than P1D q5 at max mode)
Anyway, here is my problem:
I was trying the lockout the flashlight to avoid accidental activation. However, it does not always work, one of the following can happen when I try to lock it:
Is it something wrong I have done?? or I have received a defective light?
Also, I wonder what is the mechanism that allow turning the cap to lockout the light... I know knowing this I may find out the cause.
Thank you so much!!

I was trying the lockout the flashlight to avoid accidental activation. However, it does not always work, one of the following can happen when I try to lock it:
- No matter how much or how little I turn the tailcap, the flashlight can still be activated (sometime the momentary on function is disabled, but constant on will still work, sometimes both will work)
- Sometimes I can successfully lockout (I checked to see if it is actually working), but after a while at the same locking position, if i try (within 10 tries) to activate the light the flashlight will turn on
- Here is the worst possible case. Sometime while I turn the tailcap to find the lockout position, the light will turn on itself without touching the clicky button at the back, turn a little more it will go off, and on again if continue... very random
