I got my first LED flashlight EVER, the Blackshadow Darth, delivered from goinggear.com yesterday. Tried it today. Very nice light. While I like its color and style, what I really like is how it feels when I hold it. The weight and girth are just right. Plenty of light too.
I do, however, have a problem. I can’t make it strobe. When I turn the dial to Strobe from any other position, the light stays at the same old setting (low, medium, or high) although the dial is now pointing to Strobe.
If I turn on the rear switch when the dial is in Strobe, the light doesn’t turn on at all.
Before I contact goinggear.com for replacement, does anyone have a suggestion for me to fix it myself?
I just got the Darth replacement unit from GG and checked it out. Works in all modes now. I’m reasonably sure that the defective one had a bad dial switch. The arrow was about 3/8th inch off center of the label in each setting, and it didn’t turn quite as smoothly as the replacement unit’s dial.
It is only 4pm in California and I can’t wait for it to get dark to go for a walk with the Darth
