50 degree's north in carrickmines can order you them! But I was told the norm none rechargeable lasts longer than the rechargeable one. Which only takes 3 aaa batteries!

I just got the norm one today for cheap thru the trade I'm in. If you go into any snickers workwear shop they are doing all the led lenser range! And there doing them at a real good price!

Had the lenser rechargeable wouldnt recommend it on off button went wonky the adjust on the angle of the light went so it just flopped. I was championing it here when got one first wouldnt advise anyone now though piss poor and seems the on/off switch corroded with a bit of salt which is what most people on here do. spoke to a few others who had similar probs. Short term seems great 6 months of fishing mine was ready for the bin

ive had mine for about a year or so now and the only problem i had was the little plastic bit at the side for keeping the strap in broke, a few inches of shockleader fixed it so wasnt bothered.
they do a lifetime warranty on them. ive heard they are pretty good with defect items and after sales support. even now you should try contacing them as a fixed/new one would be handy as a back up, or flog it for a few bob here :lol: .
