I had two similar ****s.

Advertised as premium units, "aircraft aluminum", many lifetime run
hours promised.

Bought on Amazon.

Both broke after a month of moderate use.

The Same units or something similar? Cree is a well respected name in
the led light business.

Not sure if these are counterfeits or the real deal, but are well made
and the board inside is nicely done. I checked.

If it fails in my use, Ill post it. And Im very hard on flashlights.
Typically..Maglights are the only flashlights that last me more than a
couple years.

What kind were yours so we can watch out for them?

Light button is almost flush with the body, yet very handy to operate.
There is a second "button" opposite the actual button..probably part
of the switch, a few seconds and I figured out by touch which is
which..no issues there whatsoever. They feel different in the dark so
you wont be hitting the wrong one over and over again..

Some other auctions linked from those show that the second button-like
bit is a cover for a charge port, apparently so the flashlight can be
charged without opening it. Eg, third picture at
