I have had the pleasure/displesure of three of these lights so far.
The first one flooded immeadiately on its first dive, and appeard to have an
inadequate O-Ring sealing the cap.

I called them and they sent me a replacement unit UPS Red, next day air.
Service was good on the replacement.
Unfortunately they packed the replacement poorly and it arrived with a
cracked cylinder and a seperated base.

One of the sales points they offered was a sealed cable, thus insuring that
the bulb/testube could not flood. They were quite mistaken as mine flooded
each time I used it.

The third light, which replaced the first two, so far has been working nicley.
But these lights are "Home made" as far as quality goes.
the battery moves around in the container, and the glue has too many bubbles
in it.
