Well, except that a flat-top battery will cause a short circuit...
I hope that they can recover from this and repair all the lights that were already produced. The performance was excellent in TacGriz’s review so it’s clear the driver quality is much higher than Acebeam H16. Safety is kind of important though 😀
They are recalling the H150 and will exchange them for a fixed version. It's a huge financial loss, though. And I don't want to be the engineer who caused this trouble.
Now I'm wondering. I know these signs are used in Belgium but are they used in other countries too?
In Germany we have them everywhere. When I look out the window I see at least 10 of them.

I see there exact the same type as in Belgium.
On the M150, it’s possible to desolder the RPP. Can you do that on the H150 as well?
Or at least file it down so it cannot make contact with the battery?
Probably yes, if you were able to unscrew the head (they use very good glue). Also there are several other components at the battery side of the driver. Lastly there's always the chance other components fall off from the heat, maybe at the back side.
So yes, it's possible, but difficult. The good thing: You don't have to worry about it, Skilhunt is recalling the H150 and will exchange them for a fixed version!
