Are all the ’extras’ in the picture below supposed to be included in the box?
Mine only had 2 O’rings & a switch cover… nothing else .
.
It arrived DOA also. :person_facepalming: . Oh well….
I have not had a chance to check it out yet, besides the battery making proper contact…. it is too. Hopefully today I can check it out further.

I’m quite dissapointed by its build quality along with the lack of using R9050 Nichia 219Cs.

I got mine from Amutorch direct. I didn't know they packed differently for their resellers.
@will34 suspect it is the tailcap switch giving the problem. See if you are able to power up the light by connecting the tube and battery cathode with a wire?

Mine works fine.
According to the lock review , it does not work with long batteries.
Edit: It doesn’t work with 30Q button top , this battery is too long.

Good, glad yours works. :+1: … Nice review you linked to also.
Sadly, long batteries are not my problem…. mine just does not work.
Can it be any connection on the top (head, driver, MCPCB), not the tail? Hope you can solve it and put back to work! :+1:

Well… I took it apart, checked all the connections, gave it a good cleaning, put it back together, and it works just fine now.
Pretty neat light too…… :+1:

I think you mean the Sofirn C8F is an 18650 version of the Amutorch 26650 which a “copy” the Shadow SL-3 which came out way back in 2012.
Pardon if this was already mentioned, I haven’t read the whole thread.

Amutorch and Shadow are the same company, just renamed Maybe the similarities come from that

Anyone still facing QC issue for this model?
Is the code still available?

For those who received DOA, I bought mine back in September, but it was also “DOA.” I did basic disassembly and cleaned off the excessive lube, and it’s been fine ever since. However, mine has a manufacturing defect that doesn’t affect operation, but annoys me - the clip is mounted badly. The holes are drilled crooked and too close to the edge of the tailcap, so the clip sticks out and the light cannot stand straight. Seeing this thread today finally motivated me to write Banggood about it. Will see how it goes!
