ALL higher volt lights will turn off on the high side if the reostat isnt wide open.YOURS may have done this from it being turned back too often and has gotten weak.It protects your switch. Easy way to remember. Low side of your bulb you can use all five clicks(or anywhere if a floating switch) on high side ONE POSITION...wide open only. If you turn your switch back it is holding all that strong curret back,the bulb is trying it's best to pull it thru,the breaker overheats (and if you touch it after doing that it WILL burn you I know lol) and shuts off. Maybe you have a bad breaker, maybe , like I said it WENT bad.Send it in have it fixed , but the belt lights will do this too.They are VERY similar (other tahn looks ) to their box light counterparts.And sometimes a bit heavier than their box like counterparts

TW, my brother had a 21 volt stinger for a few years. It was a good enough light, and they stood behind their product. However, it never did hold a charge like it should and in a few years it wouldn't hold one long at all. Not to take anything away from them, like I said before it was a good enough light, no complaints, but it wasn't outstanding either.

I did have a blown bulb in my 28 volt, the first night I took it huntin. My big fat butt got tangled in barbed wire with it on high, the helmet flew off and the head whacked the side of the tree, at the same time I fell on it. It blew the bulb, but only on the high side.

I tried my buddies bulb since I didn't have an extra and it shot it immediately, then my first bulb that was working on low wouldn't work at all. Come to find out the bulb I borrowed from him was not the same (which he warned me about before he let me borrow it, but like an idiot I didn't listen and figgured they were the same LOL). To make a long story short, I thought I messed the light up, but Dave had forseen idiots like me and it was a protective fuse. Dave also had the courtesy to have included two extra fuses in the box. I replaced the fuse, bought the correct bulbs from the local coon supply here and never shot another one.

I bought a couple extra just to see if I could turn it up without warming it up etc and I was never able to blow one (being the skeptic I am I had to test it after blowing one that night). I would turn it wide open from a straight cold light and they didn't blow. Turn it off and on, change settings, go from low to high, it didn't matter the bulb didn't blow. I even left it on high till it ran the battery down, wide open and it still didn't blow. Course I haven't smacked it upside a tree again either LOL.

My brother has the Brite Eyes 28 volt (got it before we found the Light Connection) and he has no complaints. It has held up better than his Cajun did, but it cost alot more too though. He did shoot a couple of bulbs with it, but after he got used to warming it up before turning it on wide open and not forgetting and leaving it on high he has never blown another one (unreasonably that is). Something messed up on it once, he sent it back and they fixed it free of charge and got it back to him in quick time. His next light will be a Light Connection light, but he has no complaints about his Brite Eyes.
