Here is a Rigid D2 diffused led. Does anyone have any idea what would have caused the internal of this light to look like it does?

I'm no expert but it looks like it was submerged in salt water for some time and leaked.

SWAG:
Maybe it was a backup light and got submerged when a boat was launched??

That looks like it was left under sal****er for a long period of time. Good thing about Rigid is they will stand behind that and get you a new light!

Rigid emailed me back. It's going to cost me $60 to get the light back working.
Not bad..... I guess.

Now that I look up both my new lights versus the damaged one I'm not sure which one may be a fake or real...
I just purchased some dually D2's which is the same as this light but the housing is a little different. Look how the wire goes into the housing. On the light that is damaged there is a little circular cap looking device next to the wire going into the main housing. There's no way that their product has changed that much is there?
Is there anyway to tell if it is a true rigid LED light?

Looking at it closer something seems off.





Do you still have the faceplate of the damaged light? Can you post an image?

Also, Rigid uses 304 stainless hardware - it would not develop surface rust like yours has.
