Hi, the name is Victoria and I'm new to CandlePowerForums. I come here a lot to get most of my info and insight if its posted before I decide on a new flashlight buy so I thought this was the perfect place to post this message. Now correct me if im wrong, which I dont mind being from time to time but the DX80 is IPX-Standard waterproof up to 2 meters ....right? At least thats what is states everywhere I read. Anyways just bought the light about 2 weeks ago for 400 dollars to have the lanyard litterally snap off my wrist and fall right into ankle deep water....when it fist happened I didnt mind because I knew it was waterproof and I was in no where near 2 feet of water but when I picked up the light it was flickering then shut off. Tried to turn it back on, it sizzled and to me looked like the leds blew when it flashed that last time. I immediatley turned it off And dried it off and went home to allow it to sit for almost 2 days.
Now heres where Im confused.... if you look at the head where the breather holes are for heat management I guess youll get a nice clear view of the dang driver board. :shakehead I literally had a BF!!! I just paid 400 for a flashlight I wanted to damn bad to have the cheap lanyard snap and flashlight fail to hold up to its standards.... Ive already messaged Imalent...its been 5 days, no reply. I'm just curious if anyone has some insight into this, maybe they use some type of special waterproof drive coating or I just got had and got a fake as* light :mecry: uuuggh
Any info about this? If not here it is: it's NOT waterproof
Thanks
