Disappointed :(

[kaiser37]

I am not sure if I had high expectations, or my light is defective, but it just seems... dim. I got the Olight family pack for christmas, I figured it was a good way to start my collection. But when I turned on the main flashlight, the M20s, it just did not seem right... I compared it too the smallest flashlight in the pack that ran off of one AAA, and it is defiantly brighter!? The M20s has a little more throw, but its just not that bright. :confused: Do you guys think the flashlight is defective? What can I do about it?


Merry Christmas ! :party:

Hi. May be a goofy question, but since m20s light has 3 levels of brightness, are you running up to the highest level? High on that is rated at like 300 lumens so definitely should be brighter. Also, make sure the batteries are definitely good.

Do you know how the User interface works on the 20s? It has a few different modes, it sounds like it may be on low or medium, read the instructions

 

[kaiser37]

Thank you for the reply's, but yes I ran ran it through all of the levels and read the instructions thoroughly. On low you can barely see anything. I bought two brand new CR123s and an AW P18650.

Could definitively be defective. Check this thread out - sounds really familiar:

Do you have any more batteries to test? Is the AW 18650 fully charged? Which brand cr123s?

 

[kaiser37]

Thank you for the reply's, I sent 4Sevens an email. I am pretty sure its defective.

Yes the 18650 is fully charged, I checked both with multimeter.

I'm pretty upset at the moment.
My Sunwayman T20C arrived DOA yesterday. Nothing at all with any batteries.

Does any one know if 4sevens is open right now? I sent them an email a couple of days ago, but no response. Should I email Olight?

Jeepers, sure seems to be a lot of defective light threads going around. Gotta be a Gubbermint conspiracy to keep us all in the dark:ooo:

There's not really enough meat here for a thread, so I'm closing it.

As others have suggested, please take this matter up with the supplier/dealer/manufacturer.
