Its a terrible torch, the battery leaked in mine, causing damage to the reflector and anything metal inside to corrode. I had no problem getting it replaced and the same thing happened again, so me being me, I gave them a third chance, and the same happened again!
Other problems I noticed was it was very difficult to open the torch,
It goes through a lot of bulbs and,
they seem to have a week spot where the handle attaches to it. (I noticed hair cracks on mine and on others)

Its pretty bright though!

Ask them to send you some nice jetfins instead. Save the hassle of posting another broken one back.

If it's any use, I have a knackered one of these in the bottom of the dive locker, no-one would even buy it off me on ebay. I gave up in the end and decided to leave it in its dusty hole until someone wants to play with it for spares.

Digs.

I just got the new 200 lumen head for mine a couple of days ago. It really is so much brighter than the previous led head. What a cracking torch it is now !

So random bits of wiring and a melty battery and housing incorperating a buggered switch have made their way to them with the words - let me know whats going on before you send me anotehr nova!!!

The girlfriendn reacosn i should get clips and glue and stuff from them... when i told her the clips would rust if you breath on them she laughed...
