HI
i bought a dl 95 viper greeny and had it for about 3 weeks .
i put new batterys in it today and i noticed that when i initially turn the laser on that dot is a pretty good circle but when i hold it on for a few seconds the laser dot starts to change shape.
anyone seen this before????

How long is "a few seconds"? If it's too long, the heat causes it to mode-shift.

thanks
has anyone else's laser done this? i cant seem to find any threads of the kind
it does it after 5 to 10 seconds when cold and once it starts doing it itll warp the dot after about 2 seconds of holding the button . i dont thin its from over heating (unless theres a hardware failure)
