See my post above yours about light turning on unintentionally. I would not use it above water.

I have tried the CX2 a few times on dog walks. It does not get very warm to the touch in the ~15 minutes it takes the dogs to do their business. It is definitely overkill for a dog walk flashlight, plus I prefer a broader beam for early morning and late night walks—the better to send skunks and raccoons on their way.

The CX1 is a great light in fresh water. Salt was a huge downfall for it.

Maybe an ol’fashion bash with a hammer?

probably free it. I think DR sells a replacement tailcap for it.

A few drops of WD40. It should free it up if left to soak and after rinsing in freshwater and depressing the button several times, a few drops should keep it from reoccurring. That's what I did and it's working like new ever since.

I bought a CX2. The DR logo etching was off Center in relation to button. I sold it.
