This is normal for most Fenix rechargeable flashlights and lanterns - while connected to power, the light draws current directly from the external source, which can cause it to turn on. This is only a concern if the light does NOT work when unplugged, which would indicate a bad battery. If that&apos;s the case, try a different battery you know is good, or contact our customer service department for warranty assistance.
