hey all, i was referred over here from bladeforums.com. a few days ago i got my fenix p1 from tadgear. my p1 died within a few hours of me handling it, here's my post straight from bladeforums---
-------------------------
alright, so between when my P1 arrived at my door and now, i have been in my living room, the post office, and in the computer labs. i have not been jumping out of helicopters, or in the mountains of afghanistan. i am wearing dockers.
i got my p1 via ups about 3-4 hours ago. since then, i've inserted a battery, put it on a keychain, and stood in my bathroom in the dark.
about half an hour ago, as i was walking out of the post office and grab my keys out of my pocket. not being used to having the flashlight on there (my keys are a lot bulkier now than before) it slipped out of my hand. it fell down a ledge near a stairwell. i approximate 6-7 feet, onto concrete.
there is a small dent in the metal case, preventing the head from screwing down. i can turn the head really hard, but the light doesn't come on.
i'm not saying this isn't my fault. i should have been a lot more careful. i guess it just irks me that i've waited so long for tadgear to get these back in stock. and i guess it just irks me that the fall wasn't that far, and my keys aren't that heavy. this is more of a rant, i guess.
i bet fenix has a great warrantee, and ill send it back to them and see what becomes of it. but even if they replace the light, i think i'm done with fenix.
i hit the light with my macro lens so you can see the damage.
life sucks.
-----------------------------
does anyone know if there's anything i can do? the only address i've got to send a repair is in china. any advice would be appreciated. i guess i should be more careful next time.
