mine is not that bright. I went and looked at a brand new one today and it is a lot brighter.

Rotate the rheostat and see if that works.

I have tried a new battery and have rotated the knob. At full power it is very dim.

Send it to Zeiss, it appears your switch has malfunctioned.
Good luck. |

Without looking at the scope, it's hard for me to say whether or not the illumination is working properly. What you and I consider "very dim" may be entirely different. I set mine so I can barely see the reticle in low light so the illumination doesn't mess up my night vision. As such, I prefer it to be "very dim."
However, by your description, it does sound like the rheostat isn't working properly, because in a dark room, it should actually get fairly bright, comparatively speaking. Edited by RifleDude - December/16/2008 at 15:47 |

That is the way I keep my Kahles, set dim. It is nice having the electronic switch that returns to the last setting when turned on, BTW.
