I just bought 5, of which two worked as advertised, they had a contact that I needed to bend up and then worked fine. The other three had a plastic housing and two didn't turn off, the last one didn't turn on. I returned them for three others but got the same plastice housing and the same problems. I am modified them and now they work. The problem stems from pwb with the LED, if it isn't fitting perfectly then there is a problem one way or the other with it turning off/on. I modified the exposed plastic by cutting the end off leaving a small tab on it so it could be bent outward, then bent out the contact. So far so good, haven't had them out on the water yet though.
