Okay mailed Neal with the video, its clearly defective u shouldnt have to press the button like a maniac for it to even come on or off let alone fiddle with ramping mode…
A while back M4D M4X told me around 400 of these have been sold, maybe more by now, and there have been very few issues. A couple people with bad leds and now a couple people with switch issues. Does it seem like this is just the normal small percentage of defects?
(I’m trying to not be a worry wart when I hear about these things)
I’ve had a similar problem in other lights and believe that the switch is not making contact internally. Sometimes a squirt on the switch itself with something like this and other times a switch replacement is needed.
Like Djozz I have bought these switches of Aliexpress.
OK, that explains that. A lot of us got ours through the M4DM4X / Neals Deals Group Pre-Buy Sale…… probably why mine at least has no sticker as you mentioned. It is a Banggood sticker most likely on yours.
You got much faster shipping than many of us here in the USA too.
.
Edit to add……
I really doubt it has anything to do with the manufacture date. Especially if they’re making 200 or 300 lights per week.
For instance, if it’s a defective switch, Lumintop may have bought a reel/package of 1000 switches at a time. Of that group, a few might be flaky. I don’t think there’s any way to pinpoint which lights I have a bad switch or not. I guess for right now Lumintop will just take care of it like a normal warranty issue.
(I still wish they would use seperate switches, though)
Neal responded on mail asking if sending a switch so i can replace it myself - I said sadly i have no knowledge in this i hope thats not the only solution and help for this, to me this should go under warranty a light thats barely a month old not much used and already problem isnt why i bought this light to have to replace a switch or whatever myself. And i like i said im not a modder and probably wont be as many in here are… If i would try do it myself i would probably destroy more then fix so like i said its better i not try that…
I mean my old convoy c8 works good almost 2 years old, if that would get a problem i wouldnt care so much…
I take care of my lights and i thought lumintop makes better then this . I prefer the rubber switch emisar has or olight compared to their choice.
Even if they offered a replacement driver, which is relatively easy to swap by soldering two wires, most people still couldn’t do it because the bezel is glued shut. So it definitely needs to be a warranty issue. This is the flip side to gluing your lights.
