I was wondering if this problem shows up in modern LED flashlights:
A long time ago I got a Tektite 4-LED and a Trek 7 (7-LED). Both flashlights were activated by twisting the head. Over the years both lights developed an odd problem where they would never shut off. Instead, there was always a constant, low-level light emitted from the LEDs. The only way I could turn the flashlights fully off was to completely remove the heads of each light.
Was this a problem specific to those Tektite flashlights? Do the twisty mechanisms on modern flashlights have the same trouble?
