Rexlight Bad Switch?

[JeffW]

I really like the Rexlight, but I now have a problem with it.
First the switch sometimes will click "ON". It does not happen all the time, but when it does I have to loosen the switch and lightly rap it against something.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Check inside the cap to see if the brass ring is loose.

The brass ring is tight. Even while the cap is completely off, the click does not always work. :mecry:

I bought a flashlight a couple months ago in a dollar store. It was a painted metallic color using 3 AAA batteries IIRC. I gutted it for parts. The switch in it was identical in size, color and shape as the one in the Dexlight which I'm guessing is going to be the same or nearly so as the Rexlight. I'm still waiting on my Rexlight . The only difference in the $1 store light was the metal bands coming off the sides were longer but could easily be cut down. So you might try getting one of those to replace it.

Rexlight FINALLY arrived. They do not have identical switches as the Dexlight. Here's the funny thing. I could put the Rexlight switch parts into the Dexlight but not the Dex into the Rex. BTW yet another thing I noticed - the Rexlight does NOT have an AR Coated Lens as it states in the ad on Kaidomain. More BS.
