Xsearcher question

[Starik1]

I just bought a used dereelight xsearcher. The head is a little wobbly. It doesn't wobble on its own but I can wiggle it with my hand. Not bad, just a little bit; there's some "play" in the threads. It's slightly worse when it is unscrewed some to focus the beam.

I'm new to high end flashlights. Is the normal/ok?

Just checked mine, and it has a wobble!

I have a night master, and I know exactly what you mean. When mine is focused, there is a slight play on the head, when you tug on the head and shake it with your hand. This is normal, don't worry. Mine still retains waterproofing and don't have any problems with it,

Cheers:)

Thank you. That removes my concerns. I can't wait until it gets dark so I can play with this thing!

My Nightmaster does it too. A little springiness in the focus mechanism, I suppose. Like it's "spongy."
