Vic303, I’m glade to hear you got a switch. I wish I had ordered a half dozen of them years ago. Compared to lights these days, they may not have all the features, but the L2D is still a very nice light.
cadjak, that’s good. I think I spent $55 on my L2D-CE way back and have never regretted it. Actually, I wish I had gotten more. If you get your’s working again, I recommend using Energizer lithiums if you’re going to store it with the batteries in it. Better yet, you can buy some Eneloops with a good charger and those will last you years. They’re some very nice recharable NiMH cells. Both won’t leak on you like alkalines can.
