Ok after hearing how great Romisen lights are on here and other forum websites, I decided to buy a few from deals extreme.
I bought an RC-G2, 2 RC-F4s(one turned out to have a forward clicky), and one other (1 AA like the RC-G2, but with a reverse clicky)that ended up in my wifes purse. All but the reverse clicky RC-F4 have ended up very quickly with the same problem, but I havent played much with the reverse clicky rc-f4, so it may end up that way also. I have only had these lights for a few months. In fact I am still using the first batterries. I am using energizer Lithium photo 123 which says they replace cr123 and cr123a type batterries among others. For the AA lights, I am using regular ole Duracells.
The problem is that they do not turn on reliably. They are possessed. The only way to fix it is to spin the tail cap off, and twist the spring, then put the cap back on. Sometimes I have to do this 2 or 3 times. Why such great reviews about a bunch of lights that arent at all reliable?
Is there a fix other than just spending real money on less lights?
Thanks.
