........I'm kind of philosophically opposed to throwing things away when they can still be of service.
I think you have to look at the economics. In our modern day and age of mass production and newer technology coming out all the time making flashlights better and less expensive...........that I wouldn't spend any money getting this fixed unless its under warranty or less than what you could sell it used for.
I had the L1P/L2P that I modded with SSC-P4 and that helped it greatly. But with the older Lux LED, I wouldn't mess with it. I had a Fenix L2T that was bad and not under warranty and I sold it on Ebay to someone that wanted it in that condition, so you might find a modder looking for a host.
I use to mod a lot more lights but the way they are making them nowadays, its pretty hard to compete against an already great flashlight off the shelf. This is a blessing in disguise for you to get a new flashlight!! :devil:
