This is my first post here since coming from Reddit, hi guys!

So the issues are with the charging indicator of the X1. Sometimes when I am charging it, the charging indicator will quickly alternate between red and blue, instead of staying solid red to indicate that it's charging, or solid blue to indicate that it is done charging. It doesn't say anything about the flashing red and blue in the manual, so I think it may be a defect. My second issue is that when I am using the X1, it seems to lose battery way too quickly. I charge it fully, use it for a bit, and suddenly the indicator is red to indicate low battery, or flashing red to indicate that the battery is almost depleted. I do not think that the indicator is accurate though, as sometimes I charge it again for a few minutes, and it very quickly fully recharges the battery. These issues don't happen all the time, but they have happened quite a bit, and I have only owned the light for 9 days.

I posted about this before on Reddit, but didn't get any replies. Hopefully someone here knows what's wrong.

I suggest you contact Wuben. See what troubleshooting steps they recommend.

I have tried contacting them multiple times already, and they haven't responded yet. Kinda frustrating :(

Have you tried a different battery in there? This will determine whether it’s the battery or flashlight at fault.

Not yet. Might buy some p45b's to put in there.

I second contacting Wuben. Sounds like something is malfunctioning and they will certainly make it right for you.
