I bought a Novatac Classic AAx2 and liked the feel of the light right away. It also had a nice beam running off 2 Energizer lithiums. For about 40 seconds. Then it started to flicker...then it went down to 30ish lumens. It would not go off that setting until I took the batteries out. Then the cycle would repeat. I tried 2 sets of batts just to make sure it was the light...it was. Not what you want in your brand new $100 AA light right out of the clamshell.
Now, I just got an email from BGuy with a deal to buy a Novatac...and get another one (from Novatac) for $28. So, I am kind of thinking of trying them out again...because Any light can break right???? But, I have read a good number of other posts here about quirky Novatacs..and the spring inside the light seems to be made of a pretty soft metal...and I have never had any other kind of light with a loose spring in it.
Help me out, What should I do? Are the new Novatacs built like the old ones...or am I going to just get two more lights that very possibly will not work either?
Thanks for the help!
