Just a heads up, I'm on hold with SF to get it replaced, but just wanted to share...
Last night, I dropped my C2, equipped with a BOG 3W drop-in and a Z49 tailcap. It was on and I tripped. I dropped it about 4 feet onto a carpeted floor. The thing got stuck on! The clickie button was immobile. This thing had held up perfectly for years! Amazing that it suddenly went bad. IIRC, the Z49 is descended from the milspec weaponlight buttons. I originally went for that one over the smaller button because they have a reputation for being more robust. Of course, things go bad now and then, so no big shakes. Just wanted to share.
For anyone familiar with the internals, what goes bad inside the clickie to cause it get stuck on and make the button immobile? After a few tries last night after I opened the light and took out the batts (the only way I could get it to turn off!), the button would cycle, but after reassembly I realized the light stays on.
