Was working fine Saturday. I put it on charge last night and fell asleep, so it came off charge this morning.
All I can get now is, weak flash mode and very low output on the high setting ( the green LED shows indicating a full charge) there is no medium or low light now?

In peoples opinion is that it?
It's a maxx, I've had it four years as a back up light but never had much use. Perhaps as an emergency get you home on a summers night..light.
Typical I find a use for it and it stops working.

So as I've never ever looked to see whats about, what would you recommend for an early morning road light.

Edit; I'd rather have something disposable than a £160 light again.

Batteries can 'die' after a while if not used/stored properly. Also, is the charger actually charging? Does it have a status LED on the charger that changes colour? If so, is it changing?
I've had a charger or 2 go after a few years use..

Plug the joystick into charge as per normal, then press and hold the power button until the light flashes rapidly and then try turning it on.

I think my front light came from Poundland. Build quality isn't the best, but it's still working as a 'look at me' light for gloomy morning and evening rides.
