Haven't used it at all in a few weeks, since I go my canister. Actually I've only had it for a little over 1 month and only did use it on one dive.

When I opened it today, this is what I found. It's hard to see from the pics, but there are what appears to be water spots on the reflector, so I think it may have flooded.
BUT
There doesn't appear to be any damage to the batteries and I did turn it on and off a few times yesterday while I was rinsing it, and it seemed fine.

What should I do?

Double check the oring for knicks or dirt. Clean it up..and do a test in fresh water...see if it floods.
 
The o-ring looks fine. Cleaned it and replaced the bulb.
Works ok.

It looks like it leaks when I turn the bezel all the way down though. When I turn it enough just to turn the light on it seems fine, but if I continue turning it I can see bubbles streaming out of the light.
