That is an especially bad move as overtightening a light will sometimes cause enough case distortion to result in a leak. Are you sure that there is not water inside now? If you get a leak in SW, the batteries give off a gas that may result in a postive pressure inside the light which will then seal and may be explosive. Be very careful opening it up.

Also, you might want to use a strap wrench on the light rather than pliers. Save the pliers for the guy who "helped" you.
