Ok, let me preface this by saying that I know that it's perfectionist and obsessive. Just got a new L1, that I'm basically thrilled with. However, the spring in the tail cap is crooked, leaning way to one side instead of pointing straight out... Possibly as a result, there's a loudish noise of spring grinding on battery end when I twist the tailcap, that sounds like it's stressing the spring. I don't remember this sound when I had my A2... Also, after a short amount of twisting light on and off, there are two marks on the battery end, one smaller inner circle, and one outer circle just inside where the wrapper ends... My concern is that because the spring is off center I'm somehow stressing it each time I turn the light on or off. And the sound is annoying.
Is this normal? Is it not normal but not worth bugging SF or my dealer about? Is there a home fix? I'm leaving on a trip on Thurs and was hoping to take this light with me... Thanks!
