    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?

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

    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

    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.

    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?
