Hello guys,
I just received my new L2P with what I EXPECTED to be a TRUE REVERSE clicky switch, BUT it turned out to be "New Forward Tailstand Clicky". I put Manafont Ultrafire T6 Drop in and the light does not switch properly. It jumps through modes and sometimes light goes from off->high->off in a millisecond all while i'm depressing the button, VERY ANNOYING!
This is my first SolarForce and I did a month of research before I ordered, and I made sure it said REVERSE CLICKY. The only reason I ordered that model is because i read somewhere on this forum that a guy loves his reverse clicky and how well it integrades with UF 3mode dropin. (So i though i would get a proven compatible combo).

Here is the switch that L2P feature now:

He calls it both "Reverse" and "Forward" in the discription, can it be any more misleading.
Who is to blame? the Driver or the Switch?
It appears to me that as I start to press the switch momentarily I can select the mode I like (this is equivalent to any true forward clicky operation) but then when I selected the mode, I press the switch passed the click and as I retract my thumb the light goes through the mode change one more time. Another words, the switch switches twice: once when I press it, and second time: after the click and while de-pressing. Sometimes it confuses the driver and it skips through modes very rapidly going to the complete OFF mode when i release a button. The Flashlight is useless at this point.
I have a feeling this driver was designed for a true reverse clicky switch which turns the light once after the click. Or the switch is designed differently somehow.
I mean there are plenty of people who are using this light with this drop in and no one stumbled on this issue?
What should I do?
