Lezyne - declining light quality

Hi all,

My own fault for continuing to purchase in recent years, but has anyone else found that the quality of Lezyne lights have fallen off a a cliff? Granted they aren't exactly high end, but I have had both a rear (won't hold charge or now charge) and a front that no longer hold charge (Barely 12 months old)

The distributor has kindly offered to dispose if they can't repair! No shop receipt as new eBay purchase sadly.

Worth checking with mtbbatteries.co.uk (smudge of here)  if he can fix it / them?

No noticeable difference as far as the 2 front lights I've got are. The old one has crap battery life, the new one is great. Pretty much how I'd expect.

I've not noticed a decrease, but I've had a few now and will try Exposure next time. I've had too many issues with poor battery life and wobbly brackets with Lezyne. 

Could you have an ebay fake?

Cheers all!

I remember Smudge! Thanks for the tip, seems a shame to bin'em!

As for fake,  not sure - build quality is identical to the several others we have knocking about (that eventually dwindled in life, which isn't abnormal).

Exposure rear unit on the way for now..

I had a lezyne front light, cost about £80 or so, a fair whack for a light back then (2016 or so) charged it fully and headed out.
Very quickly (like 5 minutes) showed as 50% charge so i sacked the ride off and went home.
Charged it back up, which didn’t take long at all.
I was suspicious, so decided to run it with a timer going, and it did manage the specified runtime, but the indicator would lie and say it was flat when it still had hours left.
I ended up buying an exposure.
