I bought a Pila G3L about 5 years ago and used it for a while as my duty light at work. During this time it was dropped onto a concrete floor from about 4 or 5 feet, went out but back on again when switched. I checked the LA and a big chunk of the reflector fell out :D

Still worked though. It was retired from duty service and been used ever since as my main bike light (lots of use as I cycle to work 11 shifts out of 13) and was dropped again, again loosing some reflector but again still working.

It finally died a week or so ago when a final drop onto carpet failed to see it start working again.

It is now back in action with a spare LA I found.
 
Pila makes *good* lights (that's gotta be the understatement of the year).

I've been trying to make mine malfunction since 2004... the stock LA is still going strong.
