My SL Jr started up on me again. Was originally starting to have problems with the light sometimes not turning on when clicked. Had previously posted about it and some said there was a problem with power once the batteries get below a certian voltage.
So I tried various new batteries I had at home and it didn't help.
So I shelved it for awhile. Then one day I took it down and looked it over again and noticed some residue on the threads where the clickie screws in. It was a dark color and reminded me of residue you get when cutting rigid pipe. I cleaned off the inner threads and the clickie's threads with a toothbrush and viola! I started working again fine. So back into use/rotation.
But it started up again last night. Found more residue. So sent a email to SL's CS to see about getting it fixed or replaced.
Kinda hate to get it replaced as I got this light from a GB when they first came out and , though I don't remember exact rating, we all checked our luxs for bin and I had gotten one of the better ones. Won the Luxeon lottery as I was told.
So now I am also thinking of replacing the Jr with another light and will probably start another thread about suggestions.
Anyone else have similar ordeal? Any words of advice for dealing with CS?
