My Romisen stopped working after about a year, and I don't mean a year of hard service.
On a lark, I picked up a 2-pack of something called TechLite Lumen Master at Costco for about $15. They're a bit short and stubby compared to the Romisen but just as bright and have several modes. No problems in at least 6 months.
Lately though I've been impressed with the Planet Bike Super Flash blaze set. The flashlights get more use walking the dog.
