N_N_R - You're not seeing things. I asked you about it a while ago (different thread).

I blame MT.O and the great members for most of my multitool/knife/light purchases. I see all this cool stuff and I can't help myself.  :whistle: (my collection is still pretty modest though)

My mistake! Wasn't you. I Just looked back at my posts. It was another 3 letter username. I apologize for the confusion.

But you did chime in...  :) (about the lumintop)

My girlfriend wanted nothing but a Maglite, so i bought her a Solitaire, already flickering after less than 10 months of usage  ???
Gonna ask for warranty now...

Mine was flickering on opening  :ahhh I'm almost happy you have this problem because I was starting to think my LED Solitaire was the only crappy one in the world. That's the worst spent money ever for me.

What i think is that the thin metal piece that makes contact to the cell on the LED side is too weak and does not act as a spring anymore, this looks like a concept issue more than a model issue. I'm curious about how was made the Old Solitaire (bulb ones)?

Yeah, sorry, I didn't read the "cell" part :facepalm:

Maybe you're right....

I haven't examined it closely at all. I only know it works after ......... shaking.

Well a 50ft-trad is kind of a raft.... with walls and windows and doors and roof and engine and galley and bathroom and ....

 :P :D

I always wanted to go to England and live on a narrow boat! One of my regrets in life.
Don't get too serious, just enough will do.

Update: i went to the local retail: they simply swapped the flickering solitaire with a brand new one, no question, no trouble :)

Maglite Solitaire LED (which I recently retired from EDC service duty), Thrunite Ti3 and Lumintop Tool AAA... The last two being in rotation... If I carry one in the pocket, the other is on standby in my EDC pouch...
