I have bought a dozen of these flashlights over the last five years. Initially, they all had the same problem, the switch would only work if held part way on. The answer below this from R. Hennigh about a loose retaining nut is worth a shot, but for all twelve of mine, here's what I had to do, and what I'd recommend you try first. Unscrew the head and tailcaps of the flashlight and remove the battery. Hold the body tube up towards a window or a lamp...can you see through the tube? If not, take a long drift pin, a long dowel rod, anything that can take a good whack and not break...insert into the body tube from the tail (switch) end...when it contacts the plastic disc obstruction in the body tube, hold the tube tightly, and whack the rod with a hammer...HARD! When you dislodge the black plastic disc with the little brass colored rivet in its center, THROW IT AWAY! It serves no purpose, and stops the flashlight from working. Once removed, reassemble the head-end, re-insert the battery, and twist the switch cap back on...it should work fine now. Those caps were supposed to ensure the battery was inserted the correct way...the rivet is slightly indented on the tube side, and slightly proud on the head side. This would stop the flat negative side of the battery from making contact with the L E D driver circuit and destroying it due to reverse polarity...BUT...most 18650 battery positive end tips DO NOT fit the recess in the disc, so it prevents the flashlight from working AT ALL!! I have bought 12 of these lights...had to "modify" all of them. I carry two on me at all times, I have several in my vehicles, and have given some as gifts. In 5 years, the ONLY problem I've ever had was the initial need to modify the lights. Other than that, they are blindingly bright, highly reliable, light weight, and hold a charge regardless of the temperature of the vehicle they are stored in for months at a time. Good luck, and let me know how you made out!

It is not 1000 lumens. I would guess it was around 200-250, but I don't know for sure. However, I did not return it, even though I probably should/could have.

I experienced the same thing. the flashlight you receieved runs on the 18560 rechargeable battery and not the standard AA batteries. you will need to return it for the model that uses the AAs or get the rechargeable 18560s.

I think the Surefire website would be more trustworthy, but every other retailer has it listed at 500 lumens. Either way it's hella bright and a damn good flashlight.

When I left the light on, after about 3 minutes it would turn to a lower brightness then and not go back to the 1600 Lumens. Therefore, I returned the light. I have another Maelstrom flashlight that is very good, but the MMUx3 had problems. Therefore, I bought the Eagtac MX25L3C 3500 Lumens. I have been buying flashlights for a while, but after this beast, I have rested the wallet. Good Luck.

forget about this. this flashlight is no where near the lumen its advertised. Moreover, it died after the 3rd use (very light use too). at least mine was and I used it with EagleTac battery.

I have a Duracell ultra CR2 battery. As far as how long it lasts, I've had mine for about a year. I don't use it as a Flashlight just test it every now and then. Holding up fine. Batteries are little expensive.

Please check your batteries, the batteries might be low. If you use high power on these types of flashlight they use up a lot of battery power.I use for my flashlight UltraFire18650 3000 MAH from Battery Junction website. 3000 MAH is the reserve battery power. It is like the gas tank of your car. The lower the number, the less reserve battery power. Be careful by these batteries from E-Bay there are a lot of FAKES, I buy my batteries from BatteryJunction Website. I hope this helps good luck

depends on your flashlight. does it have an actual bulb or an LED? these batteries are safe for every cr123 LED flashlight that i have ever owned. if your flashlight has a high pressure xenon bulb or similar then you need to check the specs. dont bother with charging voltage, you are looking at discharge voltage. what kind of flashlight do you own?

Which Surefire flashlight do you have (model)? I looked through 5 of them and none of them take this battery. if your putting the wrong battery in, that's why your blowing bulbs.

why yes in fact those batteries can power the flashlight but to be honest I would not purchase the flashlight from this provider. you pay for what you get and if you invest a little amount of money into a flashlight you're going to get a crappy product. although the light may seem appealing 1000 lumens For roughly 22 dollars. I've tried to contact the provider dave sent me 1 email as a response to the flashlight they sold me that was damaged. haven't heard back from them.. do us all a favor and buy a good quality flashlight the money is worth it. and keep in mind you pay for what you get. 60 dollar flashlight yes, 22 dollar flashlight no bueno

The packaging says 125. I have no way to test and verify other than it is nearly as bright as the Costco CREE 3-pack flashlights - and they are labeled 200 Lumens!

I'm kind of having the same issue. The new batteries I have put in, die fast. I have been using regular store bought batteries. I know there are higher power batteries sold at places like Batteries Plus, that are specifically designed for high lumen flashlights. Might be worth looking into if you want to have optimum performance from your flashlight. I recently ordered a Zebralight SC52. Waiting on it now, but also ordered a $10 high powered AA battery to use in it. It was a battery they sell, and recommend. If you still don't have good light after trying these batteries, I would send it back, or try an exchange, because these Nebo Redlines are pretty cool. Good Luck. Hope I helped in some way.

I have purchased two different sizes of CREE flashlights. One takes the small blue batteries shown in your picture. The other takes a larger battery. Please contact your seller to get the correct ones.

I have been trying to find the 90 lumen model everywhere (the one without the silver ring) and have ordered one from Amazon and one from ebay. Both came with the silver ring and both were 125 lumens. I want the regular one, as pictured, for a more tactical look. That silver ring is gaudy. I can't find it anywhere. Best bet is to buy on bunbroker.com with actual pics of the individual unit being sold.
