Well, sort of.
Picked up a Fenix LD01 about 5 weeks ago, and immediately fell in love with it -- the spot was brighter and whiter than lights several times its size.
About a week ago, it was getting progressively harder to rotate the head to turn the light on and off, until I was barely able to turn it at all. Thinking that it needed oiled, I unscrewed it, and as I did it made a loud pop, and an acrid smelling gas hissed out of it. There must have been some pressurized component inside which slowly was leaking.
The strange thing is that it still works, but the light seems a bit dimmer, and has a yellowish hue to it. Quite unhappy about this, as the store has a 30 day return policy, and I don't fancy shipping it back to China for repairs.
Any thoughts or similar experiences?
