I was playing about with a few AAA lights and some nearly depleted GP Recyko+ and Varta Ready2Use NiMH rechargeables today, and discovered a "mode" on my iTP A3 EOS Upgraded that isn't mentioned in the manual or on their website. At the very end of the battery life, after the light had seemingly gone out, it started to flash once every 5-8 seconds. (my estimation, I didn't time it with a watch). It reminded me of the beacon mode that some lights have, but I don't know that there's a way to access it other than leaving it on until the battery is almost empty. I tried this with two different batteries, one GP and one Varta, and got the same result. I have no idea for how long it would have continued to flash if I had left it. It clearly has to be some kind of pre-programmed feature that iTP / Olight for some reason has neglected to inform their customers about.
I haven't scrutinized all threads about this particular light and if it's been talked about already I apologize for the reintroduction; if not, it would be interesting to hear from others who have made the same discovery.
