Just wish I'd have known before I bought this one. Even after a second party tried to fix it it failed again, so evidently the heatsink or something isn't good enough. Anyhow, it sits in a drawer somewhere as a reminder of what happens when you buy crap online from a no name company or...
All I can tell you, is the guy tried to charge me to fix something that for one thing wouldn't be caused by what he said, which is what got me leery, and for another thing, a part that didn't need replacing to begin with. My diode was fine. I understood him saying it needed to be completely...
I was told by jay to send just the head and tailcap, that's what I did. I only sent the unit back once. Any questions just ask. I have no reason to lie. I also will send the emails to whoever asks. If I did do anything to the unit, it was accidental. All I did to it was put batteries in the same...
Unless he was just guessing, but it didn't look like he even checked it,sooo... As far as the driver goes, I'm wondering the same as to why it is doing this. This time I pretty well know it got done right, so what is going on? I think it is either the springs or some hidden problem in the whole...
That figures. Clif didn't seem to think I'd have much luck with it. It has a p60 style head, reflector and spring assembly with bulb removed and hole drilled through center for wire attachment to springs. What generally causes drivers to short out like that?
Haha! No, I don't know if it could take that and didn't even try. Wish it was that simple though. The host holds a Surefire 6P P60 head nicely though. I could have bought a much nicer light for that money though.
Maybe you can help then. I got clif from cajunlasers to fix it. The diode was fine. He put a mohgasm 1.62 driver in and it worked fine for a while, then died the same way as before, shorted driver. What gives?
He was selling on ebay as "lakota_outlaw" and has a facebook page called "warrior tactical laserz". I don't think he is a forum member. His email is xxoglala_outlawxx@yahoo.com and his name is Jay Peoples, but when you email him and he responds, it comes up"jay Mangrum".
That's why I was correct in getting him to send it back without fooling with it, then. He would have messed it up again. You know, the guy promised lifetime free labor, not parts, so legally I guess he had me there, and I'm not positive he would have made anything off the parts, unless the diode...
I think it was the three batteries that did it. He told me its a good burner with three 123's and sent three 16340's. What happens when you put 12 volts through a 9 volt driver? I knew the tailcap thing sounded fishy. I couldn't tell where he tested the diode or driver. Can a diode be tested in...
That's what I also thought at first... as I said before, I've also talked to him on phone and he talks fast and low. The last time I had earbuds in and still couldn't understand him. After all this, my opinion of him has changed. Do tailcap spring shorts cause driver death, taking the diode with...
Ok. I have everthing back now. Seems like he assumed I did stretch the spring and he tried squashing it down. Now it really doesn't make contact and does need to be stretched. He did not fix the driver, or diode if it really is dead. Since when does basically shorting a switch out, kill...
I don't know if he did, but I know I didn't. He also accused me of dropping it, while he shows pictures of it attached to an AR 15. I had used it a few times in the ten days, once for a few minutes popping a balloon, star pointing and lighting a match, a few the next skypointing again, a couple...
Well, from personal experience, I can say stay away from him. I got a bad one from him, it died after ten days. I sent it back and he said the tailcap spring shorted out and I'd have to pay sixty more for diode and driver replacement. After a brief attempt to get my money back through paypal, he...
Was just wondering if anyone's heard of this guy. He's selling on ebay as lakotaoutlaw with an email address of xxoglala_outlawxx@yahoo.com. Got some neat looking hosts. One called thunderstick and the other blue arrow warhead.
