Hi;
My light packed it in yesterday at the dive site and when I got home
I ripped it to peices trying to find the problem.
Eventually I discoverred that the "Little-fuse (TM)" fuse holder
was not makeing good contact with the fuse.
I fixed that problem, but would like to ask if there is really
any reason for this fuse in the first place?
The fuse is inside the battery cannister, so I can only think 
that is is there in case the light head shorts, to protect the 
battery.
Should I just take the whole fuse right out of the loop?
