Quit working right at 1 year - Laser Genetics ND5 Long Distance Handheld Laser Flashlight

Only worked for 12 months, now it will not turn on. Changed batteries and bought a new end cap. No luck. Called BSA/Laser Genetics and could not get a tech on the line. Left messages and finally got a tech who told me it was not under warranty and that it would cost more in labor to look at it than what it was worth. He told me to just buy a new one. I bought the ND5 and also the ND3. The ND3 has dark spots, like the lens is dirty on the inside of the light, and only about 60% of the circle will light up. The tech told me the same thing about the ND3. So bottom line is to hope they break before the one year warranty is up or else you have a really nice looking paper weight. They were really nice when they worked. I spent over $600 on two lights and they are both useless to me now one year after I bought them. I only got one hunting season out of them. Don't waste your money on Laser Genetics products. Not dependable and horrible customer service!
Pros: Very bright, great distance
Cons: Not dependable, inoperable in low temps
