I would 1) Return it for another one or 2) Check out the Klarus XT-11 or XT-11 Upgrade which is almost identical. I also had problems with the clicky tail cap (immediately after opening it). I am very very happy with my Klarus XT-11 Upgrade.

When you say strobes at all levels... Is this when you use the main button then press the secondary (half moon button) or not.

Agree with last few responses about using freshly charged battery. If not helpful, turn on light, then unscrew while on and remove battery. And leave out for several minutes. Then replace but use fresh lithium CR123s . If still no good contact Terralux and ask for replacement.

Batteries are low - change them. Suggestion -- use the light @ the mid-range - lasts a lot longer and does not get as hot.

Did you make sure your batteries are fully charged? Perhaps cleaning the copper contacts would help as well. The first things I do when receiving a flash light is always cleaning the dirt/grime in the threads and the contact points. I've had no problems with this particular light and I actually like it quite a bit

You could try to change out the battery. It could have been on it's way out. Also sometimes I have to push the button a couple of times to get it to respond. And then it's seems if the eye is in too much light it won't work properly either.

Same problem with mine. Purchased in 2/14 and it started having the light come on for no reason in May 2015. This an apparent problem with the model and we

it sounds like you have a battery issue. I ordered 3 flashes and 1 of them had a faulty battery.

I have some self-contained motion sensing lights and one of them started strobing. I had to fiddle with the adjustments on the unit. It has sensitivity, shade/sun and a couple of other adjustments. If your motion activated light has adjustments like this try changing the settings. I think the light goes on then the sensor thinks it is daylight and turns the light off then it repeats. You may also have to put a shield between the light and the sensor.

I've been having the same problem. The light starts off bright but by the time I get home (4 miles=30 minutes) the light is stuck in dim flashing mode and won't turn off. I can't tell if its power, cold, rain, or turbulence related.

I don't know why it keeps flashing. Mine flashes once when I turn it on, then that's it. Wish I could be more helpful.

Actually, I got mine at our local hardware and it was just the flashlight, no box or even instructions. Which brings me to my question, anybody know how to make it strobe? I've played with everything so far and no luck.

I suffered the same problem with the two light version. I was able to eliminate the strobe by reducing the sensitivity of the motion sensor - for a while. It started again later and I eventually I gave up on the system - I removed it completely and installed a different system using Insteon motion sensors which run independently of the lights. It's a much more complex installation but it works well because I can put the motion sensor in the best spot for motion detection and the lights where they will do the most good. This way the lights and motion detectors do not interact.

I have same problem, I took a flash light and shocked it at night to turn off then when lite was removed it seemed to reset, been working for a couple of day now, i have 3 of them 2 work great all the time one is exposed more to street lights and another porch lite, it seems to be effected by it. Im going to try a cover over the eye with an exposed end towards the sky.

I had this problem. The night vision started to fade and not function properly and I called Motorola and they replaced the unit. It's happening again with our new camera and I am not happy about it. Motorola should replace the unit for you though if this is happening. I am calling them this week to either get a new camera or demand a refund so I can buy a different product.

Try the dusk to dawn sensor! Cover it with a piece of duct tape and see if the light stays on and does not strobe. The reason is there may be an ambient light source near or close by affecting the sensors ability to work properly. I had this problem when I hung icicle lights up for the kids.
