I retrieved an old white Infinity Tasklight from my sea kayaking vest tonight, switched it on, it seemed to work, and then I noticed the clip had rusted some. Took the clip off, rinsed the remaining rusty deposits off the barrel of the light (don't think I got any water inside), turned the light back on after drying it carefully, and only got a couple flickers then the light wouldn't light. Removed head, put in fresh (tested) battery, got a couple more flickers, then nothing. Unscrewed head, saw some black deposit on the + contact, took knife and scraped it down to bare gold contact. Light worked.
What do you suppose was the black stuff I removed from the + contact? Do I recall reading in the deep dark CPF past that it's actually supposed to be there??? Help please?
