Anybody ever use this light? I picked one up at lunch today.
It looks pretty cool. It has a polished aluminum body and a black rubber tail clickie. It's just a touch longer than a Dorcy 1xaaa, and has a key ring attached to the side. On the negative side is that it comes with a bi-pin incan bulb just like a Solitaire.
Well, this one doesn't anymore. I had an unused Garrity 1xaaa sitting around, so I pulled out the LED module from it and set about figuring how to put it in the Craftsman. I had to basically destroy the bulb mechanism taking it out, but no great loss there. I also had to shorten the spring on the clickie and the Garrity LED board, but it mostly works fine now(working on a little contact issue since the LED is on a "twisty" type of board).
If I can find my camera phone, I will post a pic.
