I got it a few months before summer 02' and just blew my first lamp last night. When I got it, I was a little unsure because Streamlight says it would only last 5 hours on intermittent use, which is wrong. Ive had over 12 sets of batteries in it with no problems. All of this with it being used a few minutes at a time. It happened when I was splitting a 223 last night and put it in the Scorpion to test it. After I got it in, I twisted the head a few turns, and clicked the switch, the bulb flashed. I knew what happened. I put in the extra bulb that was supplied (good thinking, Streamlight) and all was working well again. I think it blew because the new batteries had too much voltage.
Although the Scorpion has proven that its worth the money, im looking to get a G2, E2e, or Triad. Its showing its age after 8-9 months of use. I would recommend this light to anyone. Its cheap, durable, and works every time.
