The original GT also has a glitch ,if you click 3 times for the battery volt check then click to exit,
If you turn the light on within a few seconds the gt will switch off but it acts normal if you wait a few more seconds befor turning on.

Not a problem with the switch but inside the head of one of my GT mini’s (I bought 4 from Neal) something is rattling. I reported this to Neal. He asked for a video which I sent him a few days ago. So far he didn’t reply yet.
No, the centering ring for the reflector isn’t missing. Unfortunately I can’t get the bezel off because it seems glued and I don’t want to damage the finish.
About the only other thing I can think of would be a completely loose anti rotation screw. If that’s the case, there is a chance it could create a short between the positive lead and the reflector.
If the centering ring is there, maybe the o-ring is missing. Assuming the o-ring applies pressure to the lens and reflector. You might add a little heat to the bezel (hair dryer, heat gun, etc…) and see if you can loosen it.
I’m having some problems. The switch behaves strangely sometimes. It started working fine a few days ago when I loosened bezel a tiny bit. I opened it again today removed the reflector to check something and put it back and it started doing random things again. Like not not detecting clicks and sometimes detecting two. It seems to fix itself sometimes but then starts malfunctioning again.
