Some time ago I received a mini Maglite upgrade. Nite Ize 1 watt with 5 stage switch. It was a nice little trade since the light was for someone special and dear to me. The 1 watt is really bright compared to the stock incandescent. Nice, bright, retaining ability to focus a plus. 
Then I installed the switch. NOTHING. Click, click, click, click, adjust head, click, remove head, click, click. :thinking: Damnit! This was NIB.:thumbsdow Click and hold down hard, light! Woohoo! HUH?!?! I thought this was a clicky switch? It only works as a momentary. Damnit. Received brand new switch. Yay! Works as it is advertised. Three levels, with two levels of blinking.
After a few months of irregular use by me and my little girl, here I am today. I am going to sell of the light to another friend and low and behold, nothing. No click. Press it all the way down with alot of force, light! Damn!!!!!
That is two, count them, two, brand spanking new switches from Nite Ize that completely crapped out! 
Anyone familiar with this headache?
:hairpull: I have a third switch but thinking "Why waste my time?" I find it hard to believe that I would be the lucky soul to have two switches go bad. I noticed that the clicky is really small and tends to shift under the rubber cap. A sales rep from Nite Ize told me that if the tailcap no longer blinks, there is something wrong with it. Great.
Anyway, my little girl (she will be five tomorrow!
) graduated to a Fenix L2D Q5. She told me to sell the other light. LOL 
Well, the third switch works well and feels a little more solid. I hope it holds up. :candle: If anyone wants two broken Nite Ize 5 mode switches that only works as a momentary, it is yours for the price of postage!
