Uw light dude is awesome

[Dhwelder92]

I just got my uw light dude in its the 2600 lumen I just compared it with my old light which I though was bright and holy crap is this thing bright, I think it will be worth every penny. I feel sorry for those of you that we're going to wait and order one after hearing how people liked them because y'all will have to pay more now. But the quality looks great the only thing I think they could have included with the light is I sock to go over the lense when not in use but not a big deal I already got me something that will work

Can't wait to get mine in the mail.

Eagerly awaiting mine. Can you post a pic of the head when you get a moment?

Got the light and its real nice but: the Piezo switch, doesn't seem to work. I can't turn it off. And the low high intensity doesnt switch as stated. Maybe I'm doing something stupid.

Anyone out there have a similar problem or think they know what Im doing wrong?

We test every light before it ships out to ensure that it is functioning correctly. It is possible though that something may have failed. As was mentioned you have to press and hold for more than three seconds to turn it off. Basically press and hold until it shuts off. Also the Piezo operates a little different than the Shearwater ones. It requires pressure not just touch.

To change light settings you push and release. The light will not change setting until you release and it does require a little pressure.

If this does not resolve the problem please contact me directly and we will work on getting you a new head. My cell is 704-299-0733 or PM me.

Pressing firmly and I mean firmly did the trick for on and off.

Changing the intensity not working now but maybe later.

If I wasn't, so "anal" there wouldn't have been a problem. Holding the switch for "one second" (per the manual) means quickly, not 1/60 of a minute.
Much better spread pattern and brighter than my new 18/21 watt LED and my reconditioned 18 watt Salvo light.

Now if I can just find the handles!

Hold the Piezo down dor about 3 seconds.

[Puttzer]

Hold the Piezo down dor about 3 seconds.

Did that......several times. I wonder what other issues may be involved as what I'm standing on, shoes, whatever.
I'm baffled. Followed the directions explicitly.

Press it firmly for a second. These aren't like the pezio switches on Shearwater computers, you have to hold them down instead of a tap.
