Anyone looking to unload the 8350 lumen version? OR any versions?

I have one that I don't even use

Anyone have good experience with the m43? I have a used one I bought from Ebay. I was unimpressed with the light and didn't understand what the rave was about. I was honestly disappointed in the m43. I asked the Ebay seller if there was something wrong with it, of course... he said there were no issues under his ownership. So I bought another one, same led and same tint (nichia 219c 5k). Well, after comparing both old (black) vs new (grey), I'm noticing all the differences and they are night and day. Here are the issues using UI2 for reference:

1) M43 blinking led https://imgur.com/gallery/n31yShW

2) M43 ui2, doesn't cycle to turbo https://imgur.com/gallery/6tpmLz3

3) M43 ui2 from off to turbo, it blinks and doesn't look like full output https://imgur.com/gallery/U2zLwxy

Now... here is where things get interesting. I don't eliminate the blinking button, however, if I swap the base of the new m43 to the old m43 head, I fix the problems I've been seeing since I bought it

Old m43 head with new m43 body, issues gone (i can finally go into turbo mode alas!)

New m43 head now suffers symptoms using the old m43 body https://imgur.com/gallery/xaWnisG


What should I look for on the old body that's causing power issues? I've cleaned the bare aluminum on the body at the threading and cleaned the head contact. What is causing my old m43 button to blink?


Any feedback is appreciated.

I think I fixed it. The pcb board was loose at the bottom of the base. There's 2 issues remaining, the LED blinks twice when in medium or turbo and not sure how to fix the blinking button.

Maybe check the 4 springs in the body, one or more could be squashed or not making contact properly.

Here is an example of the old M43 head blinking https://imgur.com/a/shxpyb3

Ok... so button blinking is just an option so revolved.

I guess all I need help with is to understand why the light blinks when I transition between modes.

Still looking. The one above was a mixed color body. Very nice, but looking for all black or all tan. Thanks
