Eagletac P20C2 & MKII owners, your insight on General

Yeah, return it. Maybe try putting the bezel on one more time. Make sure there's no gaps and the heads on tight.
Try different batteries too.

Yea, tried different batteries and the bezel and no luck. Oh well, I guess it gets replaced. I just hope the next one is as sturdy as this one is: no rattle, no loose parts, everything is just snug. Too bad the led isn't working right.

My P20c2 has been a tank, so sturdy it's on my toolbelt at work. I ordered the XML dropin for it last week, hopefully that gets here before the postal strike oo:

There is two more things you can try before sending it back, first unscrew the top part or the head to expose the module then try to tighten the module (drop-in), remember it's reverse threads so counter clockwise to tighten. The only other thing I can think off is look at the bottom of the module right above the positive spring contact and wiggle the metal contact ring around.

Oh and when the module is expose be careful not to touch the inside of the reflector, fingerprints suck.

yup, looks like a dud. Return it is. Can't wait to the replacement, i love the look and feel of the light. Hopefully it gets here before I have to move in 12 days, lol. Might just have it shipped to my parents. Thanks for the input.

to add to what JHC said...
you need to first remove head from body/battery tube (or at least loosen head several turns),
then remove/reinstall the module.
If you install module with the head installed tight on body - you'll bind up the switching mechanism in module and get exact same symptoms you described.
(the module needs to thread snugly into the head, not against the body tube)

Well, got a replacement and this one works beautifully. Beam is nice and white (the last one was a bit green) and all functions work great. Love the light.
