try making sure everything is clean and not over oiled. I know it's a new light but sometimes.........also are all the parts in the right direction? Fresh batteries?

If all else fails,take it back Monday and I'm sure they'll exchange it for you.

Give it a few days and see how it acts. I had a Nitecore EX10 give me some issues. Now its a great light.

The threads are a contact point so too much oil or machining crud could possibly cause issues. Not that its okay, but it could happen.
