Flashlight Enthusiast
I like photon flashlights I have been using them for years and have had spots of trouble when they disintegrate after being on a keychain for a time.
That said over all I do like them. I heard about a small light they were working on I was very pleased. This is like a jump into a another level for the company.
I was plaesed and exicited so I preorderd one.
I received it today.
To Be frank I was exicited when I pulled the light out. It has a cool look and nice feel.
he problem is that it wouldn't turn on. So I unscrewed the tail cap and right after the lithium AA cell popped out so did this little peice:
Here is the view down the tube showing the loss of the contact:
Did Photon make a mistake with cheap chinese manufacturing on the proton? Poor QC?
Maybe. Maybe this is just a bit of bad luck and part of a normal small % of defective flashlights.
Lets hope so. Somthing like this can spoil a whole production and distribution of a newflashlight if it is widespread.
I will send this one back and get another we will see how that one does.
