I currently own a Hollis LED 25 canister light. I am the original owner. 80% of my dives are at night. I bought this light Feb 2013 and have not had a single problem with it. All dives with it have been in Rec limits. Never flooded, no cracks rip or damage to body, head, light cord. on my last two night dives, the light within 10 min of the dive flickered on and off then died. My back up light is a Hollis Led 5 ( and not to sure about that light now as a back up light).
The light was fully charged the day before each dive and yes I know how to properly store and battery and not over charge of fully discharge the light. cool dry place check the O-rings light cord etc. To add to this story. A buddy of mine bought the same light as a recommendation from me. his light failed him 3 time within a yr while still under warranty. each time repaired and sent back without an explanation as to the failure.
I am in the process of sending it in for repairs. Any word from Hollis about these issues with these lights? Recall? anyone else have similar issues?
I don't think a properly maintained piece of safety equipment used less then 100 times should fail without warning. Am i wrong?
