Sorry to hear that, Ryan. After lurking on this particular post and reading the recommendations from so many others on the DX lights, I just ordered a light, lens, batteries, charger,etc. last night. I was going to go with either the Noxx or XLR100 but... I hope I don't have to share your pain when the order finally arrives. Now I may have to order the Noxx anyway just to be sure that I have a light to use this season.
