Edit 2: sounds like we’re going through the same thing. I’ve got mine plugged in, the blue lights on and charging. I’ll see what happens in the morning.

Thank you! It was your post that trigger a realization for me. It's not the device that's having issues. IMO, it's the instructions.

When you and I held the power button until it beeped, we didn't lock the power, we unlocked it. When it arrived, it was locked. The blue flashing light is the "charging" indicator.

If you lock the power, and then you do a normal press, what happens is what I experienced, the light flashes twice. You press and hold for a while, and the 2 beeps means you just UNLOCKED the power. When you lock the power, it's one beep.

I've tinkered with it a bit, just standing in a dark room checking out the various settings. It seems to be a good bit of kit. The flexible flood light has a color that to me seems to be closer to daylight. The spotlight is a little bluer like most LEDs. The settings seem to work really well. The "flood-only" casts a nice even light. The spot+flood is clearly different than the spot-only. I'm not sure how much I'd use both, but we'll see. I can see using the red when I'm doing astronomy.

It's very comfortable when you're wearing it.
