blokes, my cree ultrafire q5 has bit the dust one time too many,and the globe [?] has blown.
where would i find a new globe or globe/upgrade kit for it ?
i havent found anything on google yet [dont really know what im looking for i s'pose]

its got WF-008 in very small print if that helps.....

That's this light mate:

Could be any of a number of things - the driver circuit is buggered, the LED is buggered, or there's a current loss somewhere.

Driver: you can replace the driver if you are good at soldering.

LED - not so easy as that light uses a special mounting plate for the LED.

Poor electrical contact - not uncommon, usually it's not making contact at the tailcap / body junction or the little spring on the end of the driver is losing contact (mine did that - so I pulled that tiny spring off and that fixed it)

thats him fen....
the spring looks alright..
it got dropped on the concrete again....
it worked alright after that but later that night when i turned it on,it flicked off.
never to go again.
i didnt really want to chuck it because of the 2 sets of batteries and charger i got for it...
what do ya think would be the next best thing fen ?

This is another budget thrower:

Uses a reflector so has some spill but still a tight centre spot.

Four years ago I shot my first rabbit using my Wolfeyes Sniper 260 and Last week the LED died.

all together now.....................awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Sniper uses D26 dropins so the whole unit can be replaced, if that's the issue:

What do you do that requires you to know so much about torches. It would appear that there is not a torch question yo can not or have not been able to answer

I use them, research them, even build the odd one. They interest me.

Fair enough

thanks fen,
on the same page,there was this one...

does the battery specs mean it takes 2 different types or can take either ?

One of either, but you would only bother with 18650 batteries as they have a larger capacity.

Voltage range is 2.7 - 4.2v so one cell only.

Not whingeing mate this little torch has been used every day/ night at work and has been dropped of trailers ,truck ,chassis's ,tyres and found the odd fox and rabbit or two for four years there is a fair bit of paint worn or chipped off and I am still running the original Wolfeyes 18650 battery.I reckon for my 100 smackers I have got great service.

Thanks for the link Fenring but a few years ago I grabbed another drop in as well as a Red one

Missed mine died recently after the second time Kerriet dropped it. You could see current going through the LED but it was very faint. Picked it up a few weeks ago, turned it on and the lazarus effect happened
dont know why or how but happy!

went and purchased the C9-T60
it turned up yesterday.
took it out in the yard last night.
bloody hell its bright.
a bit heavier and bigger than the WF-008.
its got a much, much larger spot and heaps of spill.
i was really after something more along the lines of a nice tight clean spot for shooting [rifle mounted]
but,itll do for now i spose,till i get jack of it and get something else
