Help with new DX 3W Seoul SSC 42180 (6973)

First let me say how flashlight friendly I've become due entirely to this great forum. Really enjoy all aspects of the forum, but my wallet is suffering. Oh well...

I was unable to get the new DX 3W Seoul SSC 42180 (6973) to fire until I removed a donut shaped piece of plastic/teflon between the lamp and the case/battery. It appears to have enough space in the center to allow for the positive battery connection but for whatever reason it would not work with this piece in place.

Should I just leave this piece out as it appears to work fine without? Or should I return?

Thanks.

You should leave it out, or of you want to keep it(and retain reverse battery protection, the piece is in the battery tube right?), sand it down to fit.
