That leaves me with this light with quite a bit of condensation in it. Still works. I'd like to try to crack it open, dry it out, and see if I can get a good seal. Tried continuing to zoom it both directions with significant torque, no dice. Maybe it splits on the light head somewhere? Screw inside the switch? Hoping someone might have an idea or two to try. At some point I'll just go gonzo and then we'll know post-mortem, but if I can get it resurrected would make a nice backup light for someone.
Question Any guesses how to open this light?

With the condensation, it may have an expanded battery with a resulting 'over pressurization' . It's a real long shot but you can try to freeze it for a day or 3 and then quickly try it. Bonus points if while frozen you stick just the end cap in a cup of boiling water to help break the seal because of different temperatures. It beats drilling it.
