Magnets and Sunwayman V10R

Photon · Jun 4, 2012

The Sunwayman V10R is advertised as having a "magnetic control system" to adjust the brightness. What happens if a small, powerful magnet is used on or around the magnetic controller? Has anyone tried it?

Thanks,

Yes, you can control the light with another magnet.

Thanks Norm.

Seems like that can lead to unintended consequences. Say you're reading a map with dark adapted eyes at 1 lumen, then along comes a magnet and ZAP: 500 lumens. Ouch.

I actually had to put the magnet right on the light for anytning to happin. i guess its an accidental situation that could happen reguardless of how unlikely.

I've tried it on a couple of magnetic ring lights and the light can be changed with a powerful magnet. I don't think it's a good idea. Could it weaken the magnet built into the light?
