LED melting in Nightwatch NSX4

I’ve never seen a light where the gaskets sit on the LEDs. interesting.

They look like they do but the gasket flairs out on the lower end on mine it almost touches.

I did notice one possible issue with the burnt LED. All the LEDS in the sales pictures, on mine and on your working 3 LEDS. They are all perfectly aligned except the burnt one is tilted.

Yea, I can see it too, I think. Ever so slight, maybe 2-4 degrees or so, tilted to the right.

is this bad ?

Was this resolved by Neal? Did you disassemble to identify root cause? I was about to order this light and was actually looking for a reason not to (since I’ve bought 5 others in 2 weeks).

Sorry, haven’t found your question back then.

This was an optical illusion. But acually yes, it would be not good. Too easy to rip off the dome when centering. Also, it limits reflector design since it lowers the focal spot.
