Sorry to hear about your trouble.
IMHO...the LxP's and LxT's were the best made lights they put out. i've read numerous complaints about the P1 and now the LxD ce. i'm not saying that these are poorly made.....but the first few models they came out with were exceptional in quality. i have...
the all time champ is the Eternal light....30 days on low!!
thats not a misprint: 24hrs a day for 30 days.
it really isn't suited for your needs, but i just had to get it in this thread.
i have 1 in my BOB.
i'm keeping all of mine. dont plan on buying new lights for a while. they're just tools for me....and they still work fine.
have a couple of nuwai...fenix...and streamlight. i'm set for a while.
