Got my Lion Heart today. Small hairline scratch on head. This is HA3 right? Looks like maybe a sharp needle or point caused it. Not that big of a deal. Very bad center beam, looks like a venn diagram with overlapping circles. Not sure how this is possible considering it's using a reflector. Is a great light in the basic mode.
My biggest, and only real, complaint of the light is the Power On Menu Mode.
Try holding down the button on a 1 inch long head while trying to screw on the body which has resistance and pressure from an internal spring pressing against a battery.
My immediate thought after trying this five times is there are going to be alot of crossthreading reports. It's tough enough to get the threads to line up correctly without trying to hold a button down.
2. Instructions say "battery tube needs to be unscrewed sufficiently to remove power from the LionHeart electronics." When exactly is this point?!?!
If I remove the head entirely and then just place it on the battery tube and apply pressure (no screweing), the light turns on. So basically remove the head, hold button, and place the head on the light, right? Ok easy enough.
Next step - "as soon as power is applied, the LED will light up dim". Ok, I see that. Mind you, I have to keep holding it there because it's not threaded in yet. Ok so I see it flashed and turned off. Great. Let's screw this bad boy in. Oh wait, I can't. I didn't perfectly allign the threads to begin with and thus I am cross threading (for lack of a better term). Also any wobbling will turn the light on and off as it tries to go in and out of menu mode.
Next step - "Click the switch from 1 to 3 times to select..." "If no click occurs within 2.5 seconds.." See second step. This is not happening.
If you are super fast and *lucky* you can get it screwed on with enough threads to make a tight fit, in the 2.5 second time limit, and then you can start configuring it.
I hope there is something I am missing here because my favorite light title cannot be bestowed on this light with this problem, what I consider a big failure in design.
I hope it's clear that I think all the other aspects of the light is great. Just the hotspot and menu need work.
