So as some of you saw in my previous thread, I've been having flickering issues with my Predator Pro. After many back and forth emails between me and ArmyTek, they eventually came to the conclusion of replacing the light. I'm not sure if this means with another 2.5 or a 3, since I'm assuming there aren't exactly a lot of 2.5's floating around the shop. I've asked and am waiting to hear back. I'm extremely happy with the 2.5, especially with the customization (I have mine with memory mode when tightened, and loosened always starts at Firefly). My concern is A) the v3 doesn't seem to give that flexibility and B) I keep reading about issues with the v3.
If it ends up being the v3 they'd replace it with, is it worth taking a chance on? Otherwise I'd be tempted to just take my chances with the v2.5. The flickering only happens less than 5% of the time anyway, and maybe I'd do a hail Mary of taking the tailcap apart for some TLC. Haven't done that yet for fear of voiding the warranty (taking it apart to replace the rubber boot doesn't reveal much to clean).
Any thoughts or advice?
