Quick flash sale on this torch, it may not be the lowest ever price but it's the lowest it's been for a while.
Highly recommend for the price.
CamelCamelCamel.
gone already

Great torch.
I bought one of these in a previous sale and quite liked it. But it just stopped working out of the blue like 6 months later with no clear way to make a warranty claim.
You can just email amazon about it? They are quite ok within the first year etc.
I recently messaged Amazon about a Logitech keyboard bought 1.5 years ago which had a key die.
No issues at all, they sent a replacement which came the next day and a shipping label for the faulty one.
1.5 years after purchase. I was impressed.
DAIM son! Thanks for sharing.
Clear mentioned the other day that sometimes the included cell can be the issue. Try swapping it out for another 18650 cell.
Interestingly enough I got one a year ago for my son to take to his school camp, and when rediscovering it again just last week for camp this year it would not power on either, but coincidentally my brother picked up the same torch for my nephew, so i was able to swap out the batteries and prove that this was the case.
Are some 18650 better than others, and if so what would you recommend?
Same boat here. I noticed that my two that I bought a couple of years ago on a crazy special stopped working/charging. When I took the battery out, it would work no problem if connected to the charger. So have ordered 2 replacement batteries via aliexpress for $7 each delivered. Hoping that will fix the issue.
Li-ion batteries will go into a sleep mode if the voltage drops too low (the torch could still be drawing power even if it's not being used). From what I've read you can 'wake' up a sleeping battery. Try using a smart charger.
@eciuj: Yes, this is true for protected cells such as the one that comes with this light. When voltage gets too low the protection circuit kicks in to prevent the cell from getting any lower and getting damaged permanently.
Some smart chargers can reset the circuit so it starts working again, or you can put the cell in parallel with another cell for a few seconds which will do the same.
Just get the name brand ones. Samsung, Sony, etc. Can probably find reputable sellers from a Google search. There's probably a subreddit on it.
Gone as fast as speed of light.
I bought it March 7 last year, so it’s outside of a year now. But at the time there wasn’t a button to return the product that I noticed.
As previously suggested - email them. Just because there’s no return option doesn’t mean they get off without supporting products they sell.
You can say it broke within 12 months but you are only following up now for the reason you mentioned.
Button to change modes is very hard to use. You have to ‘soft’ press, if you press too hard it will on/off and too soft does nothing as well. Not recommended for older or young people.
I've got 2 and never really had a problem with it. Prefer controlling it all from one button rather than separate, more points of failure.
I have one of these. Not bad
Same here. Recommended.
Anyone got any recommendations for a cheap dive lights? Just for casual use while snorkeling/freediving.
From what I can gather online, Wurkkos and Sorfin were regarded as decent budget dive torches.
I've got sofirn sd05, pretty decent and powerful for $40.
bought the sd05 and tested out last weekend.
Solidly built and insanely bright!
Thank you for the recommendation.
