If you just got it, and it isn't working, contact the seller for a replacement. It isn't rocket science...you probably got a defective light. Happens with every manufacturer from time to time.

Sorry if stating the obvious,but have you charged the light up? If its part charged(40% or less) it will not sustain a high output...............just a thought.:thumbsup:

Also iirc there is protection (insulation sheets )on the battery when shipped,is this removed ?.

The battery has + and - at both ends so can be used either way as far as i am aware. Sure someone will have a pic,but sounds like if nothing is covering ,then a faulty light as mr doc suggested.
