If you still have the broken light I will pay shipping if you are willing to send it.

Thanks everyone. I did not think it would even be possible to get PT's attention on this issue. AA already has said...balh blah blah. I will look into it! Thanks again for your help!

Princeton Tec has always taken good care of my wife and I, replacing lights that had broken and or leaked. We do have a couple of HID's that I would not trade for anything, but locally in the lakes I always rely on the PT's

I sent PT an email this morning. I will post my results good or bad. Thanks for all your help. I am gonna get that UK anyway. If the PT customer service is as everyone says I will have two primaries. You can never have too much light.

Bubble wrap might help.....I tend to do this when traveling myself.

PT lights are of questionable quality to me...first one i bought had a broken lanyard mechanism thingy on it, one I got for christmas had to be sent back, one I purchased for someone else all the stickers showing the battery orientation had fallen off. Just little things like that make me question the quality of the product.

I too prefer UK lights. I've done a big research before choosing my lights, and I've seen numerous complaints against PT's quality, but they are very good at replacing defective products though.

I've now own 5 UK lights, have not been ultra careful with them, and they seem to withstand my abuse relatively well

I have not had good luck keeping PT's lights alive. I like them when they are working, but so far I haven't owned a single one that didn't break.

Here's a list of the light and how many times I had to have it replaced:
Attitude - 2 - First time one led went out, second time one led flickered
Impact - 1 - Just died
Aurora - 2 - First time one bulb went out, second time battery cover broke
Yukon HL - 1 - Short in wiring from battery pack to light head
Switchback - 1 - Short in wiring from battery pack to light head


They have always sent me another one without any hassles though

I've got several PT lights and only had one problem that they fixed right away, can't complain, love my led primary, tough and bright.
