I'm surprised there isn't a Zebralight forum. Anyway...
Has anyone experienced a Zebralight PID failure? I know anything can break - I'm wondering if this is a thing other peeps have had happen to them.
While I was using the light on H1 the output suddenly dropped. I'm guessing to M1. I assumed the battery needed recharged even though that seemed soon, so put in a new one. With that cell, the temperature on H1 kept climbing. I turned the light off at 130 F measured at the head. I went through the steps to lower the PID setting thinking maybe it had somehow reset from the -5C it had been at, but the temperature still climbed drastically.
I know that Zebralight will fix it for $15 - they ignored virtually all of my email and instead of answering my question gave me an RMA number even though I told them that I'm not interested in having it fixed and will just not use H1. I'm actually going to stick to the 300lm level for high. A light this small - SC63Fw (not a typo) - can't handle much more than that anyway without a more efficient LED. ("more efficient" Ha ha - 300lm for hours from a 3.5" production light. My how times have changed.)
