Bought light 1-08, knew of cracking, assumed Princeton Tec probably had fixed problem out of self interest. WRONG, mine was fine out of the box. I placed it in a zip-lock bag on night-stand on 5-24-08 I checked it over, with bike riding in mind; shock-time! It had hair-line cracks all-over.

I've returned it to PT for service. So heads up! No-doubt, defective units are still on dealers shelves. further; I can see no way to use it on a helmet.

Another issue, for me is using buttons with gloves-on,no-way. I own other PT units some eight years old. It's all great kit but in this case it's past-time for PT to do the right thing and issue a recall. It cost me aprox $8 to send it back to them, moreover phone calls were not returned, ergo a reluctant 3.5 stars. Respectfully. snap.
