I have a titanium SWM Sirius M11R. I noticed recently that when the flashlight is "off" it intermittently blinks. It blinks only once, lasts for some fraction of a second, and seems to occur sporadically.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any fix? Currently running a 18340 ****fire RCR.

Known issue. I had to send mine back to China to update the driver, but SWM was prompt with their responses and fixing.

Yes: had the identical issue. I ended up by taking it to pieces and identifying a small magnet which had degraded. Managed to carefully drill it out and replaced it with new powerful magnet (from China)... and voilà! Has worked perfectly ever since repaired over two years ago.
Not an easy task, but worth the hours spent: it's a great flashlight.
