Received it yesterday and to my surprise, it worked as soon as I put a battery in. I could cycle through modes without having to wait 10 minutes for tail cap to recharge. Colour tint is exactly the same as Lumintop tool copper that drop a while ago. Mine is Nichia 219 and I decided to switch the module in the Copper Tool to this brass light because I prefer M-L-H rather than L-M-H of the brass. Handling wise I still think the Tool with rubber tail cap is easier to operate and it allows half click to switch between modes. So now having the Tool cycle L-M-H isn't too bad because tail cap allows easy switching and now the brass starts with M-L-H since M is what I use most anyway.
WarongLOL when we talked, it was still in the bag because it was so pretty. And I couldn't find a AAA battery for it. Until I decided to chuck an Energizer in it. It was instantly on. Just like yours
