Bought the Princeton Tec Blast light to use in the car, but because it has an O-ring and its size, took it diving in Cozumel. Used it once during a 100 foot dive--it worked--and didn't use it again for a few months later when it didn't work. Checked the battery and found it and the lamp contacts completely corroded. Sent it back to Princeton Tec and they replaced it free, but then the same thing happened--internal corrosion--only no diving involved this time. It just sat in the car's glovebox. Can't figure this one out, but I'm not bothering to return it this time.
