Flashlight Enthusiast
I got my first Arc AAA last week, and I like it a lot. However, I have noticed that once in a while, the light will not turn on. This happens rarely, but just often enough to be annoying.
I can temporarily fix the problem by removing the head completely and then replacing it, or else by unscrewing the head most of the way and shaking the flashlight gently from end to end. No other kind of shaking or tapping has any effect. Also, the problem only occurs when the light is being turned on; the light never dims or flickers when it is already lit.
I have already tried using a different battery, cleaning the electrical contacts, and cleaning the threads. None of these has had a noticeable effect. I now suspect that there is a loose connection in the head. Has anyone else had problems similar to this?
