They aren’t shipping and quit answering emails. Is there anyone on this board from Dealmetic? Or does anyone have a better contact than the sales@dealmetic.com address?
Thanks.
Zeusray was a pretty good budget light back in 2014-2015. 
Yeah, I bought my dad one and it quit working. Now he wants an exact replacement but I can’t get DM to answer my emails. They sure didn’t have a problem taking my money.
This is what they FINALLY sent me after a month of waiting. It’s listed as “Pre-Shipment”. Does this mean that they’ve shipped it and it’s waiting to leave China or that they still haven’t shipped it yet?
Quit working?
Repair it.
We’ll help you.
That would be great! Where can I find a compatible tail switch?
Sounds like it on a boat now.
Next step after this will be received by destination country then inbound to customs.
TomE used an Omten 1217, had to file down the edges and ends a lot to get it to fit.

How did your switch fail? Did you take it apart and examine the innards yet?
You can get it out by pressing hard on the green button and the white retainer will pop out.
I have to periodically adjust the tab on mine as it looses contact with the body.
I actually shimmed the tab out a little with a piece of paper behind it to get better contact.
It’s the plastic on/off “clicky” mechanism inside the switch. Something’s broken and it doesn’t click in the “on” position anymore. A replacement switch would be an easy fix if I knew the right one to get.
Can you measure the dimensions?
The Omten 1217 that TomE had to file down is 12.40mm x 16.80mm and 5.2mm thick
but I see an Omten 1288 that is 12mm x 8mm and 8mm thick.
I will the next time I visit my dad. Might be mid-week. I’ll update then and include some pics.
Pics would be very helpful. :+1:
These aren’t the best pics and the size is an estimate - I didn’t have calipers to use.
I would use the Omten 1288.

a five pack is less than $2.
Maybe get a pack of both styles to see what fits the best.
It’s a tiny bit smaller at 12mm(L) x 8mm(W) x 8mm(H), but that won’t be a problem, just shim up the sides with some paper or glue if needed.
They are rated at 1 amp but these switches hold up at 5amps.
If it eventually burns out again, well at least you will have 4 more.
I ordered this one - Omten PBS1288CU 12mm(L) x 8mm(W) x 8mm(H). I’ll update this thread when it arrives.
The original order from dealmetic still says it’s in “Pre-Shipment”.
For 2 weeks the status has been:
Origin Post is Preparing Shipment
We have received notice that the originating post is preparing to dispatch this mail piece.
Finally! Dealmetic finally delivered my light. Took them 2 months to ship it, then less than 2 weeks to get here.
Now, if only Kaidomain would ship. It’s been a month and they’ve lied in emails 3 times. I hate going on KD or DX - I start off needing a $2 part but end up spending over $100.
