Hi, Matt here.
I lost my old login information but I'm not necessarily new to the flashlight world. I have always used tail-cap flashlights and was fond of doing custom work on p60 hosts. However, I have been fascinated by the XHP70 LED's and how much lumen it can put out.
Here's where I stand on flashlights. I never modified lights with side-switches and whether it can stand up to a fixed amount of output. The ODF30 is an electronic side-switch with a non-removable head. That said, I cannot gain access to the driver, side-switch or head assembly to see why it is now malfunctioning.
Problem:
The light doesn't want to respond to my input. A single click sometimes cycles and sometimes doesn't. Often times, it have a 1-2 seconds delay and then reacts to my input. This is where it goes into turbo mode so many times when you press the button and nothing happens...Press again and it goes straight into turbo because of the lag. Sometimes it doesn't want to turn off when I hold down the switch to shutdown. When holding down the button to get into moonlight mode, it does nothing or sometimes goes into moonlight mode. From there, cycling the modes will sometimes happen correctly but that usual 1-2 seconds delay will cause it to either jump into turbo or do nothing at all.
Are side-switch lights this sensitive when it rolled over and dropped from a lawn chair's arm-rest? Yes, the massive 26650 battery was inside the light when it dropped from that 2-feet height.
I've already emailed Lumintop about the issue and have not gotten a return email. Is this a very common problem with more modern lights with side-switches? Any suggestions to how to get it to work properly again? I've already popped in a fresh-charged battery (Keeppower IMR 26650 5200mah) and no avail.
