I while back I modded my AA MiniMag with a Terralux TLE-5EX and tailcap switch. I didn't use the light very often and soon moved on to tacticals such as my Olight T-20's. I gave the MiniMag to my elderly Mom as an around the house flashlight. She called that the light was not working and I brought over some fresh batteries, not thinking there could be some other problem. Sure enough it was the TLE, that was defective. I called the folks at Terralux and the gentleman I spoke to was very helpful. He pointed out that there was agood chance the reflector had cut through one or more of the LED lead, and he was right. He e-mailed a form for me to attempt securing a replacement. I've got my fingers crossed that they stand behind their product and send me a new unit. I know that I'll have to somehow prevent the bulb housing from moving and cauing the same problem down the road. Just a word of caution to others using a similar setup, do not allow the focus feature of your MiniMag to move in and out or it may break the LED leads.
