Hi,

FYI, the tailcap switch on the 2nd one of these lights that I got just failed in what appears to be exactly the same way as the tailcap switch in the 1st one failed… it fails to click. I’ve messaged the Ebay seller, but wanted to let you all know so you’re aware.

For the record, I messaged the seller and he is sending replacements. One of the nicest sellers I’ve dealt with in awhile :)!

Edit: P.S. He said he uses this light “every day” and hasn’t encountered this problem before.

Recanting somewhat: Now the seller wants me to send both failed lights back after “talking to his partner” :)???

I told him I will, but one of them (the one I had modded with the triple) will be missing the pill.

It still seems strange that 2 lights would fail the same way. I’m kind of sorry now, because I had ordered 2 more which are on their way here. I guess if the tailcaps of those 2 fail the same way, that pretty well puts the nail in the coffin for these lights for me :(!!
