I was under the impression that the smell came from the vacuum formed plastic in the box. That's where the smell was strongest for me.I received my EX10 one hour ago. The operation of both the switch and the head is smoother than what I expected after reading several posts here. For the time being I don't see any reason for changing the factory lube.
The beam is sufficiently clean even if typically CREE and rather powerful. I could easily perform all the functions without any glitch.
There is one problem though: the light has a terrible smell which became apparent upon opening the box. I think it could be a fluid used in machining the parts. I have washed the outside with warm water and soap and the inside with alcohol but some smell still remains. :sigh:
Any thought? :thinking:
I'm not having nearly the issues with the UI as some people are. Mine will occasionally do something I wasn't trying to do, but well over 98% of the time it does exactly what I ask with the possible exception of attempting to ramp the wrong way. I have more issues when trying to use it in momentary mode, but not in clicky mode.
