Please help question for Surefire UB3T owners?

On the UB3T when the tail cap is fully tightened the light will be on Max brightness even if the selector ring is set on minimum is this correct?

I find i have to loosen the tail cap a bit to get the minimum levels of light is this correct?

Yes.

Mine needs to be loosened about 3/4 turn to go back to the lower levels.

Thanks sbbsga for the quick answer,... is everyone,s like this?

Should be. That's how the two-stage SureFire tactical switches work . . .

- Partial press for momentary low output (or as set on the selector ring of the UB3T)
- Full press for momentary high output

- Twist slightly for constant on low output (or as set on the selector ring of the UB3T)
- Twist further for constant on high output.

When the tailcap is twisted enough to trigger constant-on "low" output, a full press of the switch will always provide momentary high output.

The intent is that full output is always accessible at any time with a full press of the tail switch.

Mine works just like ^. Lower level around house/camp then full bright on twist or press. Nice light, isn't it?

I have mine with the diffuser attached all the time!

Yeah I just got mine yesterday and man it is a very nice light,...thanks for the replies everyone.

Just playing with my new UB3T a bit more tonight and WOW it is a awesome light great quality feel, fit and finish is excellent great beam with a nice white tint and very bright on high. I think my one has the old optic more throw and less spill but it still has OK spill I am loving this light.
