I finally inspected my non-functioning AccuPower LED flashlight. This little guy was exciting to buy and provided much disappointment.
6(!) LEDs, Waterproofed, Small and Lightweight with a rubberized gripping surface.
Unfortunately, it stopped working shortly after purchase and now I believe I know why.
ACCUPOWER used a small piece of circuit board material, which had very little contact depth. This was worn through rapidly. Being a flashlight containing batteries, the movements VERY QUICKLY wore out the little contact area of the electronic circuit board.
Thus my new and niffty flashlight disappointed me very soon afterward and more so now. Now that I understand why a nicely designed idea failed because of tiny layer of contact, which was easily scratched and then became "worn out" within a few easy backpacking trips.
BTW, I inspected this trouble during a power outage and while in need. I had other choices - so with time on my hands, I did the autopsy for my conclusion.
DANG, it really was a neat concept. Not recommended in any way, I'd like to express my disappointment deeply.
