Regarding the tight threads:
I just received 2 Dereelight Javelins and all of the threads seem very tight, however I put that down to double o-rings on each joint.
Some additional lube will aid with this I hope.

I have two of these and neither has the scratches you observe. I would contact your dealer, it looks to me that you have grounds for a new light to replace this mis-handled one. The silver light engine holder has obviously been unscrewed by someone without the correct tool, scratching the soft aluminium edges in the process. Perhaps this light was sold to someone else and they returned it?

True this scratching does not affect the beam or function of the torch, but I would not be happy to receive one like this.

Go for it!

As to the tight threads, this does seem to be a regular thing - I have removed some of the O-rings to make it easier. Never go out in the rain with these anyway.
