[Closed] Are all the DX lights broken?

Mines' fine.

HTH.

I got 2 bastids and 2 P7 torches all still going (until I post this message) 🙁

Have you checked it recently?

Erm 2 or 3 threads?

Mine is fine.

mines fine

No probs here either...

no probs with mine either

Yes still working fine here, no problems. 😀

mine works used it last night 🙂

Both mine are ok. 8)

all of the ones we use are still going strong, 2-3 night rides a week all through the winter snows/cold/rainy poop that we've had no hassles at all 😀

Been using mine for well over a year and it's still going strong.

mine had to have a new battery not under warranty they never replied to my emails now the switch is a bit dicky only had it since december only been able to use it once, 🙁

yup mines been working fine,
been using it for commuting duties
even left it outside overnight by accident and the battery got soaked with condensation,
just let it dry near a radiator, no problems

My battery lasted one ride, no sealing on it at all. Will get a new light ready for next winter...

No problems with mine.

if you have a faulty one read the website and lodge a ticket. they will do warranty. i sent 4 torches back ( i bought a bunch of 'em and some turned out to be dicky ), took me a while to realise that they don't just send you an email back - all comms are handled through their website. once i reported the fault, answered a couple of questions, they accepted they were faulty ( not on delivery, they all fell over after a while ). then they shipped replacements as soon as i uploaded a picture of my proof of shipping ( PO receipt ). cost me about a fiver i think to ship stuff back. the rest they absorbed.

don't just sit there grumbling because you bought cheaply - get it sorted!
4 or 5 sets of the bike light running on our night ride.

Just goes to show what a wrong idea you can get from internet sites eh 😉

I'd guess they have sold more than the other light manufactures so you'd expect a larger number of problems, even if the average failure rate is low.

For what it's worth, I've had 2 P7 torches for a year and a bit and they're rock solid, a couple of Q5 torches for the same time which are fine, and a DX bike light for 3 months which is also fine.

Used in all weathers, snow / heavy rain, and no problems at all (I did wrap the bike lights battery in gaffer tape tho)...

Mine's working so bright that cars move aside thinking I'm the powlice

Been used once a week since September, all is fine.

For £50 I was only planning on mine working for a season; next winter there'll be better and brighter things around to replace it with. Unfortunately it's still going fine...

Bugger bastid lights seem to be reliable bugger 😕

Mate's charger blew after one use, but he bought a new one. was working fine last night

Well just to buck the trend (and keep Trout in a job) - my bastid is temremental. Changes mode all of a sudden like when I hit a bump. Also where the cables join has frayed/failed at both ends and had to be redone/soldered (spare cables are now available).

My 2 mode torch has gone from 4 leds to 3. Still works but just a bit dimmer.

The 5 torch mode driver failed and I had to modify it to 1 mode (off and full). Still - I aint complaining and I learnt early on not to rely on just 1 DX light at a time.

anyone with a working battery but broken light unit,
let me know i'll take it off your hands, 🙂

edit talking about the bastid light

My DX bike light is working fine. P7 torch is a little bit tempremental, getting the connections right.

Myself and friend have the magicshine and both working fine.... ive only used mine 5 times though.... but all in snow or wet... and still fine...

Two 5-mode torches here have been dropped, left on bike while strapped to car at 70mph in pouring rain etc.
Still going strong.
Two other mates using regularly with no issues.
I think the Bastid's are less reliable than the torches.

One of my P7 torches when a bit dicky but was easily fixed, and the other has been perfect. Used them quite a bit since I got them - no complaints at all from me given the price and performance.

No probs with mine (P7 torch), but for the last 4 months I've not been using it much as a bike light, more as a means of seeing under the car after I scrape the underside! No probs with it for biking duties (gets loaned to a mate who uses it when we are out)...he loves it but seems to think £40 for a torch, batteries and charger is too much when he can use mine for free!

at least 10 DX torches (probably more) i know all working fine for 2 years now.
2 bastid's have happily weathered all this years winter rides without issue.

mines fine here used all through winter rain snow etc etc

I got 2 broken torches in one batch. I combined the broken bits into one and kept the other. I sent the broken one back, and they sent me 2 in return.

Result.
