Does anybody who owns this light have problems with it. I had a hard time turning it on and keeping it on. Turn to tight it goes out turn to loose and it also goes out. It had a very small sweet spot for turning it on. And now I can almost not turn it on at all.
I’m not home now but I will try a new O-ring when I’m home. But how can a O-ring have something to do with the electrics?
Btw I have this light form the end of december 2012.
I tried a 10440 in my T1 - don’t recommend it. It fried someting in the circuit. It still works but the output is REALLY low.
The high mode is now maybe 5 lumens and the low is something like 0.1 lumen, moonlight mode
Manafont specs say it should work with li-ion so I did complain to them, they said they would replace it if I send it to them.
But I don’t think I’ll bother to, it works as a night light now with the really low mode. It would of been nice to have it on the keychain but not with the current output. I might get another one though, I like the size and feel of it.
I don’t seem to have the right O-ring. But I think something is wrong with it one moment it seem to work pretty well and the next moment it is (almost) impossible to turn on.
Thanks for thelp. I may hope the DQG is better it is 2,5 times the price I paid for this one.
JH: I tried LiFe 3.2V and it works fine and I had no problem with it. The problem I have now was already before I tried LiFe.
And for a similar price you can pick up the Balder TD-0. It takes 10440 just fine and is well built. You get a beam profile very similar to the SE-1 but even more floody.
However, I am liking the bare metal EDC as well. I like to know it can rattle around with my keys and such without showing obvious scratches and dings.
It’s a pity the DQG SS is discontinued/out of stock (glad I purchased a bunch!). I would not go for the Ti model as its threading is not easy to operate with one hand.
I think I solved the problem. I cleaned the threads very well. And it looks like it works even better then when I just got it. But what is the best way to clean the threads in the head?
Hi, I’m out of Germany and looking for a UF-T1, working with 10440 (3,7V).
The shop where you have bought is not excisting any more.
Perhaps you can help to find - THX
