Best wishes on your order. I sincerely hope I was wrong and you get a good light. You may very well get a decent light.
The most important thing to check on the light will be the connection of the pill to the head of the light. That requires pulling the driver which sounds like something you're not ready to do. In lieu of that, you could unscrew the bezel to remove the o-ring and lens. If the reflector just falls out, the light has a "floating" pill (<- check 2nd picture in link) that is not connected to the head. This is a very bad thing if you plan to use the light for anything other than short "Wow" bursts. I would demand a refund if that is the case. Take pictures for evidence. Be very careful handling the reflector. The finish on it is very fragile and you don't want to touch the reflective finish.
Please keep us posted and best wishes again.
