Yeah, I just got mine today, pretty fast service even to Hawaii. Light is great, just a little heavy on the switch and there's a fix, although you must be VERY careful the kind and diameter of spring you substitute. Couldn't get mine to work with the ballpoint springs I had (light just stayed on all the time and clicker didn't click), so I put the old spring back and will just live with the heavy switch until I find some different springs to try out.

I squished the stock spring on my LX and got the clicker to function at a reasonable pressure.

If all else fails, perhaps JM would make a spring kit for it

or some velocity tar or moly might help

Hey Bill!

I'll check if JM will make me a *spring guide* for it!

Actually I found a rather larger (diameter) spring that I just rewound the top half of into a smaller diameter with needlenose pliers. So top just slides through the collar, but stops cold when the bigger diameter coils butt up against it. Kinda almost looks like the original, except with a finer wire gauge.
