Got the light with 26650 batteries. Problem is I have to unscrew the end to a point that is just right to make contact for it to work. Advice welcome.

I had a similar problem. Bummer. To fix the problem I had, I inserted a metallic washer between two batteries,that would make contact with the center conductor on the battery, but not large enough to touch the outer conductor of the battery. Now, everything is held tight enough to make good contact. The washer used is a counter sink type, so it fits around the center conductor, and can't move around. It has to be the correct size, to fit the battery + pin. Something else might work better, but this works for me. A spring that fit tightly around the center pin of the battery would probably also work, but I didn't have one on hand. I had a similar problem. Bummer.

i had to adjust by unscrewing the reflector / bulb module to adjust length for some types of batteries. there are lots of fine threads on that end. hope this helps.

I had the same issue, I returned the light, even after getting it perfect it has obvious power management issues, it works for a couple of minutes then shut off, I advise you to return it and opt for the Probuilt T2600.....awesome, or for a bit more you will be thrilled with the X21R from LED LENSER...either one will blow your mind!!!

My suggestion is to wrap some electrical tape around the batteries you might not be getting good contact since the batteries diameter is slightly smaller then the body of the flash light. I encountered this when I bought mine and no problem since

I don't think so, I am having the same problem with my light. I know it won't be long I will have to change the battery because of it. I just hope its not dead when I get ready to use it.

Howdy, Check the spring I wrote about in the review. When I had mine I was walking along and light quit working. When I took out the batteries and looked into the flashlight the spring that was soldered to the LED circuit board had the solder break and the spring was just laying there. I had to resolder the spring to the board. Has been working fine ever since. I hope this helps. I guess we should all just send them back and then maybe the manufacture would fix the soldering problem they have.

Hmmm, I haven't had that problem, but like other's have said, I would first verify the polarity of the batteries (the + and -) are facing the right direction, and if that still doesn't work, check to see if the metal contacts are actually making good contact with the batteries... if they aren't, you may have to use a small screwdriver or needle nose pliers to pull the metal contacts out just a bit. (be careful not to break it off).

Turn the bezel around the bulb. This may take a try or two until you get the feel for it. If that doesn't work, there's a battery or bulb problem. I love the flashlight!

Make sure the "buttons" on the batteries are pointing toward the inside of the sight. I Stacked mine with the buttons pointing up then sat the sight on top of them and slid it to the edge of the table, putting my finger on the edge and flipped the sight over and screwed the switch cap on. This will make sure the batteries didn't flip over when I was putting them in. If that doesn't work, you might have bad batteries or a bad switch. Hope this helps. When you get it working, it's a pretty good sight. Real good in low light, you can see it for a long way off.

Make sure you didn't get so much grease on that the two parts no longer make electrical contact. Try wiping the grease off the threads and the end of the part with the light so it makes a good contact.

Check: good battery, positive (button) end first (toward bulb). Does the tailcap button give a solid "click?" Otherwise, you may have a bad one. Extra low price, ships direct from China, no packaging or manufacturer claiming ownership... roll of the dice. Try Olight, Streamlight or Surefire if you want a guarantee but at 10x the price. FYI mine doesn't look exactly like the one in this picture.

The battery compartment has a white plastic battery holder. Place one battery into each of the three slots with the negative post on the spring. They alternate as you turn it around. Once they are each in a slot stick the post end into the flashlight and screw on the base. If you don't get light you probably have it in upside down. Unscrew the base and turn it over and try again. It would easy to explain with a picture but, this doesn't give me the option.

Sounds like you have a loose screw or sonething. If its the screw that comes loose then thats a easy fix. A drop of locktight on the and your good. I had the same issue with another light and its all fixed!

start by making sure the light is unplugged and has no power running to it. at the ends of the light you will see the end caps , simultaneously twist each end either clockwise or counter clockwise and the light will come loose where you shouldbe able to slide out. Hope this helps

Locate the on/off button. Unscrew the cap and remove. Pull out the battery holder. Remove batteries one at a time, pay attention to the direction they go in the holder. Put new batteries in the holder. Insert holder in the flashlight. Place the button cap back in place and screw it tight. Test operation of flashlight to verify.

Me again. I wasn't able to include the link to the instructions in my last message - here you go. Best wishes. http://sollight.wordpress.com/2011/09/26/replacing-the-battery-in-your-lightcap-300/

I remember I had a hard time putting the lights in. Thought I was going to break them.I would try inserting them again. If that does not work, return it.Hope this helps!

Push the reset pin. It's a little hole and the light comes with a little pin that fits it. It was charged when I received mine. Maybe you need to charge it up first if it doesn't work.

Lid will not open by it's self. batteries are new. lights all function properly. i reread instructions and everything seems to have been done right,but it won't open. Suggestions?
