Got my QIII (thanks Beam me Up) about a week ago. I and a couple of my children have been using and enjoying it. Nice and bright (my wife shone it on the ceiling in daylight and said "no way I'm going to shine that in my eyeballs"). Anyhow it is on temporary loan to my daughter, till I fix her EternaLight, and she is walking toward me blinking the light. As we aproach each other I notice her hold on the light isn't right for regular pressing of the switch. Before I ask she says something like "OK dad how do you stop this". It just started blinking, not like a loose connection a regular blink 1-1.5 times/second. So I played..uhm examined it a bit. Turning it off and on worked but didn't affect the blink. Took it inside took the battery out checked the contact points...etc.
I didn't have a spare 123 so I switched the used one out of my Arc LS...BINGO...the Q3 works fine and the Arc is really dim.
So my question is, is this a feature or a defect? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Also is the Q3 this well regulated that a battery that keeps it bright gives a dim light from the Arc LS?
