The same thing happened to me. I opened mine up and tried to bend the LED wires back into shape so that the switch would work okay. I couldn't get it right and finally gave up.

I have carried both a photon II and the pulsar II in my pocket with keys and other goodies. I have never had this problem with my photon II. I would have to say that the switch is better in the photons.

The pulsars are just as nice, though, when they work. I'm currently building a micro PSK and I have a pulsar II in it. Partly because I had an extra new one lying around. I figure it will be fine if I ever need to start using it, but I don't expect to be able to change batteries and keep going with it like I have with the photons.

This is one data point though; maybe I just had a slightly inferior pulsar. But hearing your similar switch problems just reinforces my preference for the photons.

Good luck trying to fix yours.

Cheers,
Mike
