Hello.
I’ve suddenly noticed that one segment of XHP70.2 in my Sofirn SP33S keeps shining when the flashlight is turned off. After a series of switching light on and off that shining has faded. And now it is unnoticable in common conditions but in total darkness I still can see that segment is slightly shining.
So, I unscrewed the head and found out that there is a voltage of 3.77V on the diod.
Did someone have this issue ?
I guess there should be no voltage on the LED when flashlight is turned off ?
What might be the reason for this behavior ?
I struggle to find a repair shop that handles flashlights, so I might try to fix it myself. But I would like to be sure the issue is pretty simple, like unwashed flux or something like that. Otherwise I don’t want to risk damaging the light while disassembling it (never did it before). After all, flashlight seems to operate normaly when turned on.
My guess is you have a bad driver.
If you recently purchased it i wouldn’t open it up and I’d contact Sofirn.
If it’s not under warranty you can purchase the driver here:
