Weird issue for my knowledge level let's just say. I own 3 of these and though I'm a Fenix man, I fooled around and had an adulterous affair with the headlamps! To me they are the best headlamp ever, except for the utterly absurd crazy *** system of adjusting the different modes and sub levels which is ridiculous if you ask me! I also only use Fenix 18650 2600, some 3400. No particular reason I just like consistency in my products. I always use highest setting, I like it bright, unless I'm working for an hour or so and then I use medium so the batteries last.
This happens with all of the headlamps and any one of my 30+ batteries. The problem started a couple weeks ago when it got cold. Not cold cold but like 30 to 45 area. But it will only go on the highest setting for a few seconds and then automatically step down to medium. That's normally what happens after about 15 minutes or so maybe longer I don't really calculate the time to be honest.
I'll take a freshly charged battery and stick it in and it stays in high for only few seconds or so and then goes to medium as if I've been burning it for 15 minutes like I normally do. Because it's happening with any and all of the batteries and all three lamps my only conclusion was it's the cold weather but I thought these performed excellent in cold and I've had them for a couple years and never recall this happening before except the only differences I have been keeping the batteries in the truck outside and not room temperature.
Is this normal?
