Help please - Frogman torch
I have a LED Lensor Frogman, the larger one, as my back up.

I was surprised when I first got it that the O-ring is in permanent situ and therefore could not be removed to clean & grease. This is the blue o-ring. I kept an eye on it etc. but last I went to change the batteries the o-ring split.

I have been on the Brighlights website and asked about a bit but cannot find if I can get a replacement o-ring.
Ultimately I'd prefer a more substantial back up but for now this will do just fine so does anyone know if I can get a replacement o-ring and if so please can you direct me to the correct place ?

Many thanks in advance

Can't you take it back to where you got it Sixy? I've had two Frogman torches flood and my LDS has just exchanged for a new one straight away.

Oh, dunno. Bought it at LDS so may try calling. I figured the manufactuers would offer replacement o-rings but Brightlights don't and I think that's the source.
Cheers, I'll call them now

Okay, I called the LDS where I bought it and he kindly gave me the tel number for Alpha Distribution who are the people I needed

Called them and 2 O-rings will be going out in the post tomorrow Most excellent
Thanks BB for superb direction See Copperband, that's how it's done

Chap at Alpha did query how come I'd even needed to open the torch to replace the batteries saying they should last for 50 hours I regularly change torch batteries and like to clean and grease the O-ring. Maybe I'm strange
