Did a field strip on it and the little board with the wires leading to the bulb came off it. So the light is toast.

I did manage to salvage a couple bits from it, though. Namely the lanyard and the little adapter bit for AAA batteries.

I guess this'll teach me to buy flashlights from the thrift store. If I do that again, I'll be a bit more thorough on my research of the brand.
Dude, haven't I gifted you a flashlight or two over the years? If not, there will be a few coming with me to Texas that won't be going back to Virginia.

Yeah. You gifted me a couple small OLights and a Sofirn lantern awhile back.

This was just a 2 dollar thrift store find  I picked up awhile back. I guess the last time I used it, the wire may have totally loosened up and I just didn't notice it before today.

Oh, I need to step up my game... I am almost swimming in flashlights here.  One or two really good EDC types will have to live in Texas from now on.
