P.S. this o-ring inside between the pill and the reflector is a very good design element. The compression of the rubber maintains an contact actuation force between the reflector and the pill, preventing the sort of flickering problem present in Fenix flashlights.

What? I've never had a Fenix flicker, and I can't remember reading about anyone having a Fenix that flickered.

chevro,

Mostly with the P1, but the potential exists on any lights that use the pill threads as a electrical contact without way to maintain a force between threads.

Fenix has a few examples of this method, but they seem to be getting away from this design lately.

That was discussed pretty thoroughly here, where the topic is still open for discussion:
