Is a faulty switch a common issue with this flashlight? I just received mine today. It worked fine the first couple of times, but now it only works sometimes. It either will not turn on or will not turn off or will not switch to a different mode most of the time. Is there an easy fix?
Edit: just found the warning thread related to this issues. I should have done more research before buying this junk.
yes it is unfortuately something that can happen.
as i had warned.
the guy from DQG used to post on here, i am not sure what happened to him.
does anyone know?
i emailed him when mine failed, (2 of them) but no response.
it would be great if the light worked
to answer other questions, it is safe with unprotected cells
what it does is step down levels until it gets to the lowest one, that one will blink to say things are getting low, then eventually it cuts off, protecting the battery
not sure what level it cuts off at but it seems OK for that function.
I just noticed in the OP photos that the head unscrews, but mine will not budge. Is there a trick to unscrew it or do I just need to eat some more spinach and try again?
it does unscrew—may be locktited in or something
doubt it
just use more juice
it;s kind of hard to grab, thin on the edge
use a rubber jar opener pad thingy
question-is possible to open this flashlight?the output is too low for me.want change driver.but which side switch driver which gives 6 amps as the fet driver could fit for this flashlight?anyone tried it already?
