Just received my El Capitan yesterday and had a couple questions/concerns.
It just doesn't seem that bright. Is this because I ordered it with the medium optic and since it's not a tight beam of light, it just doesn't appear to be as bright? It should work for my needs, but I just wanted to ask. I'm using a fresh Energizer Lithium battery, by the way.
Also, is parasitic drain an issue with these lights? Seems that with the QTC, that this could be an issue. I'm a bit of a newb to this kind of stuff, so you'll have to cut me some slack here.
I find that if I loosen it a bit, the battery rattles quite a bit, but I can tighten it down a bit with the light still off and it doesn't really rattle, but I was concerned that this could cause parasitic drain.
I mainly bought the light so I could have something that is capable of sub-lumen output and it definitely fills that role!
