When the RRT-0 first came out I just had to have it! I bought one and it quickly became my EDC light. I liked it so much and showed it off to everybody (even the ones who didn't care).
A friend of mine fell in love with it as well and decided he needed one for himself and another for his uncle. I purchased two for him from Bug Out Gear, but they were on backorder while they transitioned to the RRT-0 R5. As such, we missed the uncle's birthday and Christmas, and my friend started to grumble a bit (there is nobody to blame, of course. Just bad timing).
When the lights finally came, one of them was defective. It would randomly go to strobe mode and remain there, even if we removed/replaced the battery. My friend's grumbling became louder and longer at this point and he didn't want to go to the hassle of getting it replaced/fixed by shipping it all the way back to the states, especially because he was about to fly back to Portugal to visit his uncle.
To save him some frustration, I took the defective light to send back at my leisure, and gifted him my beloved EDC. That was that. All was well…
…except for the fact that this was a long time ago (over a year, I think), and it would appear "at my leisure" takes a very long time indeed. I've been very busy this last year and a half (hence this being my first post in ages) and just never got around to sending it in!
Now… does this mean I'm SOL, or do I still have the opportunity to have it replaced/repaired?
Thanks for listening and thanks in advance for your replies.
