Reported by: Unloco

Shared on: http://budgetlightforum.com/node/67377

Second set arrived today, after over six months.
Continues badly packed, only bubble bag and the gray nylon bag. Both ends dented.The quality control is bad or nonexistent.I don’t trust Astrolux quality control.I made mine…Battery carrier.

I took the multimeter, selector in continuity, one end at the positive pole and the other at the negative… Short Circuit!!!!

Autopsy… I remove a four screws… remove the plate…
