I have a C3 bought about 6 weeks back. Guessing it’s got this over-charge “feature”
I do like the light though (despite the 2600mAh “protected” battery- wass’up with that?). Still a nice throw for it’s small form factor. I’ll just charge via the Zanflare Vs. the internal USB port anyway. Also prolly’ use a Q30 or something a bit more modern battery wise.
I would be too. I posted a picture above so the outer and inner spot IS round and it's just that outer TIR artifact, aka. spill, I think, what some commenters find detracting.
Just a shout out here to Wuben for standing behind the MANY great lights they sell. :+1: :+1: :+1:
I personally own a C3 (and smaller C5- 14500) bought this last year. BOTH nicely designed lights with excellent finishes (several colors). The C3 had issues with overcharging (see this post a few months back). It also had a slight misalignment problem with the reflector/led. As I bought the light on Black Friday I figured I (kinda) got what I paid for, BUT when I asked them about it they INSISTED on replacing my C3.
In fact, SEVERAL Wuben reps contacted me to insure I was happy. Very professional, honest, and straight-up about the C3 problem and wanting to make it right.
I was a fan, and now I’m a BIG fan of Wuben… and I can see more of their lights in my future.
I had a delivery of the corrected design C3 get screwed up by a new postal worker who couldn't find the mail box so hopefully, I can get some beam shots by tomorrow.
