Silva LX II

Just to let you know i got one of these a month or two ago and the wire must of broke because each time i moved it it turned off.well sent it back last week and rang them today to see when id get my replacement they said they have 1000s of the things sent back because of the fault in the wire they said a new/improved one are being made and it wont be till the end of July il be getting mine.so just letting you know if your thinking of buying one or have a broken one!!

Hey Tony, You should have had a chat with Dennis before you splashed the cash. he was one of the first I know of to report and diagnose this issue after going through about 5 lights, I think he moved away from the silva units.

i had same issue with mine and ended up butchering it to make it work

Yea i should of but i heard good things about them before i bought it then bad things after

I was thinking of doing the same thing when mine broke but its there faulty goods so let them fix it there not cheap and i expected quality when spending that on a light but in all fairness they said there is a fault with the design and are going to replace it only bad thing is iv to wait 2 months!

tell them you want a replacement while your waiting or your money back.
they already admitted it was a faulty design so why should you have to go 2 months without a lamp when its their mistake??

I asked them for a replacement they said they are not stocking any of the LX units at the moment i told them what i thought of there customer service they said they are sorry etc..iv gone back to using my energizer light

if youve got a bit off cash i'd advice you to get a speleo nova, or get an l1, they seem to be problem free

Don't tell Uvox about the lidl light......you'll start him off again...

i got 2 of them aldi lights, one as a spare and one for a friend who doesnt do a lot of fishin. one worked , the other didnt . their pretty bright tho for the price of them.

Yip dito on the silva rechargeable,no probs with it for 12months then the 1st of its 9 lives was used.Unfortunately got sick of giving it to an electrician friend to fix and as of last month the 9th life was used up along with my patience.Needlessly to say im no longer a fan,i've gone back to my old trusty petzl SORTED.
Tight lines

Just an update on this since my headlight stopped working i received my new headlight today of silva it looks like a new model of the lx II. cable / connection block looks bigger and stronger
