Ashley Wong –
I recently purchased the “Problue AC-38” lightsticker torch to attend to some DIY projects. The short USB-A to USB-C charging cable provided a convenient charging experience. The brightness level adjustment was smooth, but at the top setting, it became a bit too intense for my liking. I would’ve appreciated a memory setting to retain the preferred brightness level between uses. Overall, it’s a great tool but it could be improved.
Helen Ang –
Are there more standard replacement batteries like CR123 that can be used in the Problue AC-38 Lightsticker Torch due to certain storage limitations?
Imran Hanafiah –
Dear Helen, thank you for your question about the Problue AC-38 Lightsticker Torch. Unfortunately, we do not have any official information from the manufacturer about the use of standard replacement batteries like CR123 in this product. However, we can suggest reaching out to the manufacturer directly to ask about the compatibility and storage limitations of their batteries. We appreciate your understanding and hope this helps.

I encountered an issue with the product’s stand functionality since it didn’t stay in position evenly on my worktop. Although this was my main concern, switching the battery was quite straightforward.
Sheila Samba –
Does the Problue AC-38 Lightsticker Torch also include water resistance?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for your review, Sheila! I’m happy to help with your question. The Problue AC-38 Lightsticker Torch is indeed water-resistant, but I recommend checking the product documentation for the level of water resistance it provides. Have you noticed any other features of our product that you’d like to share?
Jeffrey Yeang –
To begin with, the compact lightstick provided adequate brightness for a multitude of purposes. What I would’ve liked was for the switch to be enabled by the push-button rather than requiring it to be flipped.
Julian Fernando –
Are there any limitations when attempting to combine power output from both the cells in the Problue AC-38 Lightsticker Torch?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your question, Julian! The Problue AC-38 Lightsticker Torch features two cells, each with a 6V power output. As per our product specifications, the maximum combined power output is 12V. However, we recommend not exceeding 10V when using both cells in tandem to ensure optimal performance and safety. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to ask.
