[QUOTE="DarkSwordsman, post: 598948, member: 43070"] I'm thinking it may just be bad batteries. I'm using Panasonic batteries, and even though they are brand new, they might not be up to the task. After the batteries warmed up from being in the cold garage it seemed to work. But then when I left the light on for more than two minutes, it shut off and I had to wait until I could do it again. Once I get my hands on some Energizers or Duracells I'll test it out again. I'm finding that it's not very useful if I use more than a 12mm tube on a 18-55mm lens since I have to get so close to my subject. However, if I stand it up on something next to the subject it does a very good job. It's honestly brighter than my 800 Lumen flashlight, or at least more consistent since it's 48 LEDs vs 1 LED in the flashlight. [/QUOTE]
