epitome Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 That sounds odd. Mine works fine. I can't think of a reason for that to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigitt Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 (edited) is the LED overheating causing the built in circuitry to auto shut it down? could also be a dry solder joint - as the unit heats up the solder expands and lifts off the circuit board causing a short - causing it to turn off.

fenring Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Do they even have a circuit of any kinds, or are they direct drive? I didn't think they were voltage regulated, TBH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajax Posted August 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Well the torch worked fine with new batteries so i am pretty happy with it is has Heep's of available light to identify game out to about 150m by my guesstimate and 100m and under its like day light under the spot . Must be when it goes flat it just gets to a point and cuts out . Had it going for about a hour last night all up. How ever all was quit on the bunny front only saw one not even a roo out . Then the rain started so I went home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
