Hey all, still kinda new to CPF so bare with me. I just bought a an Ultrafire flashlight for a cheap flashlight. I bought it from DX, and was impressed intially with everything about the light.
There is something wrong with the light, it only turns on 30% of the time. I have tried different batteries, a different switch (from other ultrafire light) and still the same problem. What confuses me though, is if you look closey at LED, it BARELY illuminates when you turn it on. I think the switch is working because you can see it turn on and off, it just wont "power up". If I hit the switch enough, or turn it on and unscrew tailcap and play with it it will eventually light up normally. Then occasionally it works like its supposed to.
Does anyone have any troubleshooting tips or solutions to this?
Here are LED photos.
