Well, it's going back to Surefire. This has costed me a total of $30 USD of shipping costs to date and reaching 6 months of my time without the L5. I'm a patient person but what I don't like about SF's supposetly world class customer care, is that they've always had the attitude of "too bad for you" when dealing with me, maybe I'm too passive when speaking to them. I never seem to get those "great care" that people rave about here, I mean a simple "we are trying our best to resolve your RMA" would be nice to hear.......
Mark2: My original L5's bezel was actually A00060 and I had requested them to keep the bezel and clickie as the I believed I won the Luxeon lottery with that bezel with it's brightness and really good white beam, and the clickie was butter smooth. There were no fingerprints nor dust in that bezel, I was really happy with that bezel. It was just the body that had problems. Maybe I should've scanned the fingerprint and match it with yours and catch the culprit :P
Anyway, the waiting game continues...and for SF's claim as world class customer care...I've seem to have much better experience dealing with Pelican, Future Electronics, Nikon etc.
