Hmm, spoke too soon. It’s kinda going mental on me, randomly “strobing” on me like some intermittent contact. Will have to ddx it later.

Solid Al reflector, decent triangular threads, cap + battery tube + driver section + front bezel + trim-ring.
The host seems solid, but again, need to ddx the switch, driver, etc., to see what’s going mental.
This might be a return, because of the 3 I bought, 2 seem “complete” with lanyard and that plastic on the front lens, but this was missing the lanyard and the plastic. That kinda sucks. Wasn’t gonna p&m about it, but if there’s something going on with the light itself, well…
The driver is held in there with a retaining ring. Will have to see what’s the culprit, rule out one thing after another, etc.
As a host, it’s pretty nice.
The star isn’t glued in, thank B’Harni, but there’s no compound in there at all, just dry contact.
Even with the spacer / centering ring, it’s a pretty tight beam… when it works. 
No microscope, so can’t tell if it’s a good knockoff or real Cree.

Hey, advice?
Does it pay to bitch’n’moan to GB about it? Not sure what they’d do. On Amazon, a seller would offer to just throw a few bux at me to make me go away, but not sure if I’d have to ship it back to GB or go jump through any other hoops.
Anyone ever grex to GB about a wonky light?
