My Raw NS is perfect but my Raw Ti (actually mislabeled SS) has a loose LE that completely falls out of the head (along with the reflector and lens) when battery is removed. Also, the negative battery terminal spring is not fixed to the base; just freely floats around. I'd imagine the spring issue is probably normal even though my NS spring is fixed in place somehow. But as for the loose LE, I'm not sure how it differs from a new replacement. I mean you can drop it right into the head from the threaded side and it falls all the way until it contacts the reflector with no interference whatsoever. How will the replacement LE snug itself into the head? Is there some little foot you need to slide over into the threads or something like that? Reason I ask is that the LE I currently have works just fine other than the fit issue. I'm trying to determine whether I'm keen on spending the addt'l 30 GBP to get a replacement part when there may be an easier fix to make the one I currently have work. Keep in mind that this behavior isn't typical of Orb lights; my Raw Ti is over 3 years old and has been through much abuse apparently. Do replacement LE's thread in, or are they press-in, or something else altogether?
