Peak LED \"Kilimanjoro\" question...
New to this game, but trying to learn. Recently purchased a couple of Peak LED lights, including a "Kilimanjaro "1.5v AA Anodized 5 LED Hi-Power (red)". When received, the light would deliver a resonably bright beam on about every 10th try - the remainder being much weaker. Called Peak and was told that the foam washer might be preventing full contact. Removed the washer, but no improvement. Returned the light and received a replacement. Good news is the replacement provides consistent beam strength - bad news it that it is very weak - totally "blown away" by alternatives such as the Proton Micro-Light. Question: Is this what I should expect, or is my "new" light still not performing up to par? Hate to keep playing "return it" tag, but expected better performance for the $'s spent. Appreciate any "expert" advice. Enjoy the forum. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif
