Greetings Diving Enthusiasts,
I own a Xtar D28-3600 dive light. Over the course of two years, I've experienced the same discouraging problem with not one, but two units. At the beginning of two separate cave dives, the light abruptly shut off, leaving me in the dark. There was no water in the torch. When I tried to turn the torch on, all it would do was flash the green light around the power indicator. So my best guess is, its related to the electronics of the light.
The frustration was compounded by the fact that this failure occurred in a critical environment, underscoring the importance of reliable equipment. After the first incident, the store replaced the flashlight quickly and easily. But now that it's out of warranty, I'm at a loss.
The Xtar D28-3600 is a really nice and compact light for short cave divey, boasting a powerful 3600 lumens output. Unfortunately, my recurring experience with the power indicator and subsequent power failure has raised serious doubts about its reliability and overall quality.
To my fellow divers, I feel it's imperative to share my experience with the Xtar D28-3600 as a word of caution. While it's important to note that my experience may not be universal, it serves as a reminder to carefully consider the reliability of our equipment, especially in situations where safety is paramount.
Maybe the XTAR Staff can provide some guidance or support in resolving this matter. I value the potential of the Xtar D28-3600 and believe that it has the capability to be a reliable and powerful tool for diving enthusiasts like myself.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance or advice you can offer in this situation. Please let me know if there are any steps I can take or if there are known solutions to address this issue.
Greetings!
