If I remember, there's a sequence that electronically locks out the EC50. I've done it accidentally. Unscrewing the tail cap gets it going again. I hope that is what's happening to yours.

EC50 GenII? Stock driver? Quote from @candle lamp candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?423444 "The light has an electronic lock-out function to prevent accidental activation. Hold the switch down for more than 3 secs from Off, the light will activate Firefly mode and will flash 3 times to indicate the lockout state.
To unlock switch, hold the switch down for about 3 secs., the light will activate Firefly mode and will flash 3 times to indicate the unlock state."

Current led flashlight life: By night: Two X65vn, one in each hand, several mile nightly walk. By day: edc P60vn Quad XPL 8 volts. Cryos Cu head, 4,300 lumens.

Thanks guys. It is not the tailcap because I switched batteries just in case that was the problem. I will try the lock out idea, that could be it.I usually just loosen the tailcap for lockout, but this happened while I was using the light. Now that I think about it, I was trying to get to a lower level because I found 5 young raccoons in a tree.
Does anyone know if Vinh does any additional heat sinking to the X45vn? It seems to get hotter on 30% than my TN30vn35 or TN30vn50 does at 100%. I would expect at least a little better heat management at equivalent lumen outputs because of the larger head size/surface area of the X45vn.

The light is not locked out. When I installed a new battery I noticed a distinctive burned smell. I need you Vinh!

Congratulations on your retirement Mike, enjoy your last day of work. I hope that they give you a fitting send off!
You could buy yourself a celebration flashlight to mix it up a bit? [emoji38]
