The LED came today and i soldered everything, but theres two problems (so far - haven't tried any extended runtimes yet)

1. The two flash modes only last a few seconds before it turns off - sometimes it comes back on 7-8 seconds later or so. Or maybe i just haven't figured out the modes yet (apparetly theres a 7s beacon), but it seems to do that for the 3rd AND 4th modes.
2. The switch got really hot after i switched through the modes twice - I think I might have melted something inside the switch cuz I melted some of the plastic when I was soldering. Since I have 5 switches, I'll probably replace that later. (Or right now)

Edit: correction - it jumps out of beacon mode too
