Just back from taking my dogs for a walk. While scanning the fields for bunnies I noticed that the beam of my L2 would dim to maybe half of its full output. When I switched the light off and then back on it would return to full power for a minute or so before dimming again. Its a cold night - just a few degrees above freezing and the light would normally be on for less that 5 minutes at a time. It did not appear to be warm. The batteries are fresh but are probably not of great quality. The brand is Goldston and they must have come with some light that I bought. Could this problem be caused by the batteries. I'm going to get fresh batteries tomorrow anyway but I'd like to know what you guys think the problem could be. LED is a single mode R2 and the tailcap is a reverse clicky made by Spiderfire. Thanks.
