dinotte 5w ultralight problem

trevtherev

I have a dinotte 5w ultralight which is not working very well and outside it's 2 year guarantee...has anyone had a similar problem...have you sent back to the uk stockist "on one" and if so what was the result/cost?

On-one replaced a faulty ultralight for me last autumn; they did it straight away by post for nowt (as I think they would say up there), but it was only a few weeks old. They're nice guys though, so still worth an email. Otherwise, Dinotte US can definitely do repairs - if you have an older model you could even get it upgraded to a brighter LED.

If you decide to send it somewhere, and you're thinking 'how the heck do I post this thing', try lots of tissue paper < empty toilet roll < envelope ;-)

I have a 5w ultralight from a few years ago. 2006 I think. Whatever year they first became available.

Anyway, it is not working at the moment but I know why. The cable to the stupid pp3 battery clip is worn out and the pp3 clip itself is very corroded

So I'm going to put a new one on, get some new battery holders at the same time

Some time next year I will be upgrading the LED in it for a more modern and powerful one

It would appear that on one do not expect to be the uk dealer for dinotte lights for very much longer.......

The 200L is the new version of the 5W - try and get it upgraded. I've had nothing but positive experiences with the customer service (direct from Dinotte) - they really stand by their products.

I'd contact Rob at Dinotte - see what he suggests.
