Well my LRI Proton came today at around 9pm. This light looked great and felt great too. I was so happy to have one of these lights. The happiness quickly dissappeared, the Proton came with a energizer lithium and i wanted to put my Sony NiMh. When i took the battery out this piece of Gold plated metal fell off with the battery, Wow thats not good i thought it was going to be ok, but it was not. The light only functioned sometimes and i had too rattle the metal piece in place to make it work. Without that piece in the light it will not work. I think that piece is the contact that transfers the current to the bezel. Anybody else have similar Problems? I want to return but affraid of the surefire Effect of taking forever to send it back. Any Suggestions?
