I am wondering if any other Karik dealers have been in touch with Kary? I'm feeling like I was swindled. I had submitted a form via their website a few months ago and became a dealer.......now they seem to have dropped off the face of the planet.
I purchased two of the Freedom lights and both have some pretty major issues....have emailed, tried to call and have gotten zero response.
Initially we sold about 10 of the 1000 lumen single cell handheld lights....I took one on a couple dives and was impressed.....however it appears now that these are just another cheaply made light that doesn't hold up.....with zero "manufacturer" support.
I was led to believe that these guys had developed this light, had patents etc......all false from what I've been able to discover. It looks as if these lights are available to anyone who'd like to import 500 or more from an overseas manufacturer.
I feel like I've been conned.
I made the phone calls and sent the emails several days ago, giving Karik time to respond before posting this online......
Have any other dealers had any contact with Karik or have any idea what may be going on?
I'm guessing that I'm stuck with two of the Freedom lights that are defective and will have to call it a spendy lesson learned.
I'm so disappointed in Karik. I was led to believe they were an "All American" company that stood behind their products........
