Why can't I turn off Taller torch?

Why can't I turn off Taller torch?

I bought this Taller torch a few years ago from Bunnings.

Powered by 3 AAA batteries.

I walked into my shed last night and saw there was a 'glowing' in a far corner.

I thought I musta left it on and the soft glow was because the batteries were drained.

So I went to click it off - and nearly blinded myself.

Four options normally.

  • Blinding bright
  • Less blinding
  • Flashing Red.
  • Off.

Off has now been replaced by 'Soft Glow'.

Tried new batteries, same problem.

I cannot turn it off.

Weird?

 

This is 'off'.This is 'off'.

'Off' - in a dark environment.'Off' - in a dark environment.

Re: A Taller Torch Question.

Hi @Noyade 

 

I suspect that there is something wrong with the switch, I propose pushing the switch in quick succession to see if will spring back to its original off position. If it fails to properly shut off, I suggest removing the batteries to prevent them from getting totally drained.

Thank you @EricL 

 

But this torch is Kaput. Pity, tis a good product and good for working under a car or under the sink.
