Unfortunately, I think they were discontinued quite a while ago ....

EDIT - ... looks like back in January 2013, parts went unavailable :sigh:

Use mine everyday. Check the website every now and then expecting good news........ Hopefully they are trying to find another source for the part!

It is my daytime EDC, been that way for years. Has its disadvantages. Chinese battery problems. A few months ago I was told by Photon (or Laughing Rabbit) that they would replace my old, low performing battery I but chose to wait longer. the battery still works with less initial brightness and less capacity. I have a newer REX, purchased when the decision was made to discontinue the product.

Please consider taking the time to contact Photon and/or LRI about updating that type of light. Perhaps they could build a 1 LED unit with an increased capacity battery yet nearly the same size as the old REX.

The USB and photovoltaic chargers work on my REX's. just don't overcharge.
