The duo headlight and carrying case (90600) was returned for evaluation: the duo headlight was received in used condition.Evaluation identified that the duo headlight was not working due to the holster.The battery holster was defective, the fan was rattling; the connector board required replacement, and the back gear housing was cracked.The battery holster, connector board, gear back housing and fan have been replaced.Full functional tests were performed according to manufacturer's specification.The issue of this duo headlight having a burning smell is most likely due to overheating caused by damage to the fan.The fan was most likely damaged due to rough handling/environmental damage.The reported complaint was confirmed.No manufacturing, workmanship, or material deficiency has been identified.
