Ok, two Christmases ago I persuaded my friend to get her scientist husband a Fenix PD-35, which he loved (of course, after having seen and played with mine, haha).
Well he used it in his work at his Fusion Lab continuously without it stepping down at all because of the type of battery he insisted on putting in it which he had ordered off of Amazon. I guess it was unprotected because it would not step down ever off of Turbo.
Back then I patiently explained to him how we could not trust any battery that ended in 'fire' but he would not hear of it because its brightest lumens were continuously needed about 2-hours a day for this one daily experiment.
Well, tonight I learned "the bulb died and how do I replace it" which I decoded as the emitter got fried after continuous heavy use! (Trust me when I tell you I have little to none technical/mechanical intelligence, LOL!)
So I have no clue how to swap out an emitter or where to get one. But trust me when I tell you that he can fix/repair anything but he does not know how to open the head of the light (nor do I).
Could it be something other than the emitter?
Does anybody do repairs on something like this?
Is my friend better off just buying a new PD-35?
Thanks in advance for your replies!
