The warranty specificaly says garranteed for everything except bear attack, shark attack and children under 5. I have had 2 of them for over 20 years and they are both working great.
Had which - bears, sharks, or children under 5?
I'm "all LEDs" these days. I use a mini Maglite with an LED conversion for pre-flighting. I also have an Osram "Dot-it" 3 LED surface light fixed on velcro on the cockpit overhead panel (great for sitting in my seat doing pre, or after-flight paperwork etc without wasting the aircraft battery). I also use a little single LED clip-on light which goes on my shoulder harness.
Just noticed today that Dremel (mini-drill people) do a nice little miniature clip-on adjustable flexy stem light, (£13.95 from B &Q) which might be of use to some pilots whilst reading under the sheets
