I was not able to see the CMG Bonfire first hand when I bought it from REI.

The designer of this light had a brain freeze. The lid is not very secure, just a small force and you can say goodbye to the lid.

I concur, the switch is a major letdown. It's not able to be switch on confidently and you'll have a hard time to switch it on with gloves on.

It wasn't cost effetive to ship it back to REI for me. It's a paperweight now on my desk.
