Long term results with Surefire L4 "Error" lights

Almost a year ago, I purchased a couple of SF 5w "error" lights from TW. Basically, a L4, but without the regulated head, thus allowing the light to run very brightly off 2 x R123 cells.

The first light I purchased died a quick death and the head was replaced by Surefire with a normal KL4 head.

The second "error" unit continues to burn away, probably having gone through at least a dozen battery changes.

How are the rest of you doing long-term with your error lights?

Thanks,

Marc

I would like to know also. I bought 2 of them and the first one died after less than 15 minutes total use, on and off for short periods. Surefire replaced it with a KL1 head. I'm leery to use my second one with rechargeable cells.
