Does anyone have this little Zoomie light? I NEED HELP

I picked this up from Ali with the intention for a small, simple Zoomie to mod.
Once I got it I found I was not able to get the pill out. The lens ring won’t unscrew etc.

Other than that, it is a sweet, tiny light. And $3.50

Thoughts

Have you pressed the bezel (lens ring) against something while twisting the flashlight?
Never saw this one, but seems cute!

Yep. Used a jar gripper, pushed against the sole of a shoe, then a pair of chan-el-locks(hardly a scratch, it will get tossed in the truck console etc.)
The ring did not budge. I’m thinking it’s the plastic ring may pop into place to hold the lens in.

Thanks.

Does this have a “slide” zoom function, or a “twist/screw” zoom function? If it is a regular “slide” zoom, then you could try removing the pill and head together. Pull the head out to full zoom, and keep pulling outward pressure on it while you slowly turn it to try to catch the pill with friction, and unscrew the pill from the body. Then, you might be able to push out the bezel by pushing the pill from the bottom toward the lens. That’s assuming it is a press fit bezel.

Yes slide. I will give that a try. Thanks

Figured it out, it’s what I thought. The little plastic ring that sits on the lens it what pops in and out, but I had to pry. I marred it up.

Marring a bezel just means you have to break out the file and sandpaper then shine it up like it’s stainless steel
