TeeJay Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Lume charging gone wrong? You might say that I woke up this morning to find that the watch had stopped just before midnight, and, once the time was reset, it ran, but, the date wheel would not roll over... This afternoon, I dismantled the watch, and discovered that rather than being an overlay, the entire datewheel was a plastic cog, which had warped slightly, which was preventing it engaging with the rest of the movement... Oh well, we live and learn I'd originally bought the watch to be given away anyway, I guess it just wasn't meant to be that I keep it personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F I was just trying to see if a longer charge from the bulb, would provide a longer lume glow. If it's any consolation, I could tell the time when I woke up, the time just wasn't right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arniezac Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 One of those 100 lumen led flashlights should charge up the lume rather quick... Thinking of getting one I read this and chuckled to myself. To my right is around 15 Led flashlights all lined up on my table ( All +200 lumen ). This WAS my only obsession untill RWG arrived in my life. Curse you Google. My name is Arniezac and i'm a flashaholic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 One of those 100 lumen led flashlights should charge up the lume rather quick... Thinking of getting one UV LEDS give a good response as well, I think the problem is I held the watch near the bulb for about a minute... Oh well, lesson learned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 My name is Arniezac and i'm a flashaholic. This sounds better out of context...think of long trenchcoats and bare legs. I know a halogen light would surely be able to do some serious damage. I stick to low heat compact fluorescents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for the record, it was a halogen bulb Lesson learned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
