First let me apologize if I'm posting this in the wrong forum, I do a lot of reading here but rarely post.
I have a Surefire U2 that I absolutely love. After I lost my first one on a camping trip I immediately found and bought the one I have now from someone here on CPF. Unfortunately the one I bought here wasn't as bright as my previous one so I started reading on here and decided to get it modified. I had the LED upgraded and I had it bored for an 18650.
So on to my problem. For the past few months I've had a problem with the light "strobbing", that's the best way I can describe it. When I activate the light with the momentary switch it's fine. But when I click the switch, 75% of the time it will "strobe". Slightly pressing on the switch will normally get the light to fully activate. I also notice if I start the light with the lowest setting it's fine but if I I turn it up it will start strobbing unless I tap on the switch and it clears up.
This is becoming annoying. I love this light and want to fix the problem. Is it the switch? Or a problem elsewhere with the light? I called Surefire today thinking that they would tell me it's my switch and they would mail me a new one. But they want me to mail the light to them so they can take a look at it.
Will I have a problem with Surefire over the modifications I've made to the U2? Is this something I might be able to fix? Just wondering what my options are. Thanks for any help and/or advice.
