One of my 4 Costco Luxeons stopped working after using it only a few times. I checked the tailcap switch with a continuity tester and sure enough that was the problem.
Fortunately, when I disassembled the tailcap I found that the switch itself wasn't bad. I never did find out exactly where the broken connection was, but it worked again after I reassembled it.
The whole disassembly/reassembly was pretty easy. If anyone is *really* interested, I'll do it over again and take macro pictures of the process.
I hope this helps anyone that might have a similar problem.
