Hi Guys,

Got another P3D this week. Love these things.
However, this one has now started to FLICKER. :mecry:

Not controlled or uniform flickering, more like a candle.

Before you ask... Yes, I have thouroughly cleaned everything.
Removed the switch, de burred threads the lot.

In standard mode, Level 2, I stand it on endpointing up in a dark room.
The light is fine for 3 or 4 seconds then every now and then you get a flicker, random and varies in intensity.

Have a look at the vid, you can clearly see the beam change. sorry it moves a bit too.

Has Anyone else seen this and have a suggestion ?:thinking:

Cheers,
DiCEMAN.

Yeah, I thought that too.
I've tried it tight and loosened off abit. Still the same.

It's like a dry jount in the head itself or something, but it happens regardless of weather the light is perfectly still or if I tap it lightly etc.

WIERD ????

Can you please post when you get any more information about this? Has anyone else experienced this flickering with fresh batteries? Since this is becoming such a popular light It will be helpful to know if your experience was a fluke, or if there is a problem with the P3D's themselves.
