BLF A6 XPL Issue

I’ve had a BLF A6 for a year now and can’t figure out an issue I’m having. No matter what brightness level it is set at it automatically dims every 5 seconds until it is at the lowest level. For example, I turn it on and set it to the highest level. 5 seconds later is gets dimmer without me pressing anything. Then again 5 seconds later, ect. ect. It has done this since I bought it. Is there a setting I need to adjust?

Thanks for any input you can offer.

Correction, the initial dim is after about 5 secs then subsequent dims are about 3 secs until it turns off.

I found this in the manual I wonder if it is relevant

Low-voltage protection will progressively step down the output at
about 2.8V, and the light will shut itself off when even the
lowest level gets below 2.8V.

Are you using a fully-charged high-quality cell?

Yea, this :+1:

Sounds exactly like LVP kicking in
