Thread: Maxtoch died how to fix?

My Maxtoch SN6X-2S died on me last night it looks like the little chip bulb has burnt out.
Can it be fixed? If so how do I go about it?

@gadgetman

Send it to me and I'll sort it for you. PM inbound.

Hi gadgetman is this a common fault?

1st one burnt out. All others have been failed de-dome attempts or fidgeting after de-doming. Easy to fix.

Gadget can dedome it for you while he's got it if you like. Really makes them perform..

What stops them dying after 30min (being turned on/off) or is it normal?

We don't spotlight full time, we drive, light, drive, light type spotlight and its annoying going through two sets of battery's that have just been charged within the hour.

I would love a way to screw something to the back that connects to a cord that can be plugged into the bike. Either a plug or alligator clips so we can hook it right up to the bikes battery. Would it improve the light ten fold.


Caught between a rock and a hard place atm, on one hand we have a light that shits over the older spotlights but on the other hand the old ones work all night

don't even mention get more battery's

what is dedomed?

The diode (bulb) has a gel type "lens" over it that spreads and somewhat diffuses the light. Dedome, and you've got a more focussed light, with a slighty inproved colour temperature. Ie it looks brighter too. Totally happy I did mine. Gadgetman' your buddy as far as the how to. It's easy to break wires. Like I did.

take it back for a new one? o wait its not a lenser

You'd probably be on your tenth trip back by now.

The charger should be fine? It's lucky to have been used 15 times

Get the odd one that doesn't charge to the right voltage. Seen it a few times and you end up with short run times. You're leaving it till the LED turns green?

Yeah sure am, It doesn't take long to charge I'll give it that
