Getting inside the Infinity Ultra\'s head?
About a month ago I picked up an old-style silver Infinity Ultra, which I've been using as an EDC and love to bits. So I ordered another, and apparently I got lucky on the first one, because not only is the LED in the new one off-center, it's 'tilted' at a pretty significant angle. At a six-foot distance, the hotspot is a good 8-10 inches off from where I aim the light.
The thought of sending it back isn't very appealing, since I'm in Canada and that's generally a huge hassle, so I'm wondering if there's a way I can fix it myself. The thing doesn't really budge from the outside, but I was wondering if I could maybe pop the electronics out of the head and re-solder the LED so that it sits straight. Is there an easy-ish way to get into this thing?
