Lumintop Tool AA/EDC15 level stuck question

LED Flashlights – General Info Multiple AA / 14500 Flashlights
1

I usually power my Tool AA 2.0 with a NIMH battery without any issue. Just bought an EDC15 and put an unprotected 14500 in it. While playing with it, it got stuck on a high level. Had to remove the cell for a minute or two and it started working properly. Put that cell in the Tool AA and eventually it got “stuck” on a higher level for several click cycles. Put the NIMH back in and it has worked fine since.

I have not managed to repeat this with the cell so I don’t know if the rate I was cycling the levels had anything to do with it or not. Anybody have similar experiences with either of these lights? It was weird.

> the rate I was cycling the levels

I wonder if the rate was too slow and the light was giving you Last Mode Memory

Lumintop EDC15 :
“For mode memory the light only needs to be on for a few seconds , so to change light levels you need to be reasonably quick.”

On review, that is possible. I never recall having it happen with NIMH. Maybe the voltage difference changes the internal clock slightly?

And I thought I posted this in the single AA forum. I need to pay more attention. :smiley:
