I was thinking my ITP A3's contact was quite dirty and sprayed some contact cleaner into it to clean it. Turned out I sprayed too much into it. Didn't wait for it to dry completely and popped in my RCR123. Left it facing down on my wooden table. After some time, I prepared to go to bed. Since few days ago, I had this weird habit of toying with a few lights before I sleep. I never had this habit. Same weird habit kicked in on that night. Picked up my A3 and found it was burning hot and found out it had turned itself on. Thought I didn't turn it off so tried to turn it off. It couldn't turn off. Realised it might be the un-evaporated contact cleaner and so opened up the light and took out the battery before it burnt my table and the pile of paper stacked next to it.
The next morning, I checked on my A3 and found out this was what happened to it.
Reflector was toasted and LED glass dome shattered or burnt (basically dome was nowhere to be found), light was official dead :huh:
Pls don't make same mistake as me. Somebody up there was looking after me with the six sense thing and the habit of toying with lights coincidentally went away after this incident
