[QUOTE="rickjoty, post: 2589931, member: 99582"] I'm With you on UK Dive lights. Underwater Kinetics. I've had two small (four AAs) and two larger (four Cs) for a good 25 -30 years. Once while backpacking in the sierras I was squatting on a log over a lake, doing dishes. I had my only flashlight in my back pocket. It squirted out and I watched it slowly burn out. I had to do a pack out after dark on a moonless night for miles and miles. Starlight was almost enough until I got under the trees then there was only dark. Kicked rocks and trees over and over. From then on, only waterproof lights for me. So back to UK. After twenty years one of my lights would not light with new batteries. So I replaced the bulb. No good. So I'm driving in San Diego and I see a UK facility. I pop in, tell them my story. They said sometimes the switch goes bad and gave me a brand new flashlight. Gotta love it. I still use them [/QUOTE]
