I've got a little P Tec Byte, and the on/off safety switch, the switch that prevents accidental turning on, tore up several years ago. The 3 mode switch still works fine, so the safety switch I'm not to worried about.
I used it for a couple more years after that, then it quit working, all together, on my last trip.
I sat down this past afternoon to try and diagnose and repair my little light. The accidental on/off switch is unrepairable, but all I need is the push button 3 mode switch.
The wire that connected the contacts under the safety switch were broken and deteriorated.
The messed up safety switch.
soldering a wire between contacts.
works like a charm now.
How long do these LED bulbs last? It's no power house spot light, but it's sure small and packs well.
