Hey CPF Community,
I've always wanted to own a PK light, but never really knew where to source one (or could I afford it LOL). So anyway I found a source and decided to finally spoil myself with my tax return money.
Well I just opened it and fired her up only to hear a tapping sound every time I moved the light around. Sure enough it is the glass lens moving/rattling around in the bezel. First I thought it was just loose so I tried tightening it up (that sucker is sharp, it actually left little cuts like paper cuts on my fingers!), but that did nothing. So I removed the bezel ring and discovered that there is no gasket under there.
Now I know I can make a warranty claim, or sit here and complain that a $100 flashlight should be perfect upon arrival BUT: a) I don't feel like going through all of that warranty claim hassle for a $0.50 gasket and b) Hey lets be real, stuff happens; the light is functionally perfect (and a work of art).
So long story short, does anyone know where I can get this gasket? I'm assuming its a flat rubber gasket just like the SF bezels have, but I don't really know. If nobody knows where I can get one can someone with an FL2 help me out and let me know the type of gasket and dimensions so I can look for one? The bezel ring comes off very easily, but be careful it is SHARP...
I just want to put this baby to work and see what she can do!!!
Thanks so much for any help you can offer!!! :twothumbs
