There's pressure inside the body of the light, probably from a battery venting. I would definitely throw out the batteries ASAP to prevent damage or further pressure buildup.

I first thought he was in-flight up at 10,000', but the battery venting is probably right.
Thank you, you're right, a friend wrote to me a couple of minutes ago - he took out the batteries and the button was blown away, now it looks like a used condom (I won't post it, it's too scary).
It was Duracell AA, as he says, they were a fresh release.
I dug in the drawer and found rubber caps, they look suitable for E1B, so they can also be suitable for E2L

Anyone ever used an e2l aa with an incandescent head and 3v bulb? It should work in theory.
It works great

Awesome, thanks. Yet another reason why I may have to get one.
I use one all the time with an MN01 and a beam diffuser. Works great on two NIMH rechargeables or alkaleeks. Makes a great reading light at night, or bathroom light. It's just a nice soft light all around for nighttime stuff when you don't need tons of lumens.
