Truglo (red dot) scope question

[colty31]

I recently purchased a Truglo red dot scope for my Excal Eclipse. While looking through the scope I can see what looks to be a reflection of the lens that the light comes out of. Depending on the lighting this creates lines in my field of view while I am trying to shoot.

It seems that sometimes the field of view is clear and all I see is the reticule (red dot) but other times I see the outline of the other lens. This is the case indoors and outdoors.

Is this normal?

Unfortunately yes. And it's why I gave up using them.

Truglo jus don't make very good red dots. I have one that sits on the shelf gathers dust. Reason is every time i sight it in, with-in 2 days its lost its zero. It does this week after week month after month. Junk!
