| This thread is not about aimpoint vs eotech so please dont start that BS. That being said, I just got my eotech in today, I love it except one thing. While at the range I had a problem with the brightness of the reticle. I dont know if it was just the light outside or what but it was kind of hard to see the reticle. It was mostly over cast today and the back drop of the range is a light sand color. Would the gg and g hood help with this or is there a problem with my sight. And before you ask yes the brightness was all the way up...thoughts? |

I bought it off the equipment exchange and it came with the original packaging. It all looks right to me.

| I would have to agree with the above posts. I typically have to turn my 553 down a bit. There has never been an issue with it being too low or not bright enough! If new batteries don't fix the issue contact EOTech. The GG&G lens covers really won't effect the brightness because the brightness levels on all EOTechs are manual not auto adjust. I hope who ever sold you the 512 didn't know about this issue and sold it anyways. I like to think of this forum as a community of friends but even so...some people are just looking to make a buck. Make sure you are using lithium AA batteries. Don't waste your time with alkalines. Paul |

It looks grainy, Im about to run out and get new batteries and see. Corrosion/crud on the battery contacts could cause this as well. If new batteries don't help then take a hard pencil eraser and go over the top of the springs in the battery compartment & the battery contacts on the front of the main compartment. HTH, keep us posted!... Tomac |

My used 512 I got has this problem. It's not very bright. My other Eotech & even my Bushnell are way brighter. I sent it into Eotech to get it fixed up. $58+shipping. I have yet to get it back though. My 5 year old 512 also seems to have this problem, which started up recently. When I turn it on (new L91 batteries) it looks like it's at setting 6, when compared to my brand new XPS2-0. |
